Now that the six Baltimore police officers have been charged with murder [by a prosecutor with numerous questions about her objectivity], the crowds are reacting with jubilation. People being interviewed on the street are saying that if these cops are not convicted in a trial that has not even been scheduled, it will be “just like Rodney King all over again.”
[To review, the 1992 Los Angeles riots included looting and arson (resulting in over $1 billion in damages) as well as racially motivated assaults and murders (resulting in 53 deaths and untold numbers of maimings and injuries).] ` This is what looms for the justice system and the community at large should the officers actually get a fair trial and the evidence and testimony should happen to result in acquittal. If we see anything less than these officers being sent to a penitentiary -- and suffering the sort of treatment that incarcerated police typically face -- there will be hell to pay. And the price will be paid entirely by the innocent.
These people are hence not interested in justice, so that defines them in textbook terms as a lynch mob.
And it goes further. Interviewees in Baltimore are also saying that they are convinced that the white officers involved are more guilty [apparently by definition] than the black ones, even though the officer currently facing the most serious charges is a black man. Likely many outside of Charm City share this view.
This, in turn, defines them as a racist lynch mob -- completely missing the irony.
In recent years, we have seen self-appointed ethnic spokesmen join agendized politicians and journalists in making assumptions based upon race, rather than evidence, regarding fatal incidents between law-abiding citizens or the police and violent sociopaths with extensive histories of victimizing others in their own communities with violence. All of these elitist jackals stood to benefit considerably, economically and politically, to racialize these incidents, when it was at least questionable whether race was a factor at all.
Would the participants have behaved differently if everything was the same except skin color? Such questions are not even asked. In at least two notorious cases, one Rev. Al Sharpton was shown to have perpetrated hoaxes that were so blatant [Tawana Brawley, Crystal Mangum], even the Establishment Media was forced to admit that the allegations were fraudulent -- but conspicuously ran short of conceding complicity.
Nonetheless, he and those like him are still taken seriously by a mob that is more credulous of what they have been raised to believe rather than logic, reason and evidence.
Consequently, subsequent to these incidents and ever since, a series of racially motivated attacks are regularly perpetrated upon elderly veterans, pregnant women, the disabled, small children -- any one who is deemed the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and small, weak and alone.
Thousands of these savageries are triumphantly perpetrated, recorded and posted on social media for all to see -- but are rarely shown to the general public by the major news outlets. Hence, those designated as targets are served notice what is coming to them will be done with impunity, making it clear that there will be no outrage, nor even acknowledgment of these actual documented racial atrocities.
Another consequence of these fraudulent racializations is an entire community is having its trust in the justice system severely undermined, if not destroyed altogether. This is in addition to a multi-generational pattern of being raised to think that others are responsible for their own failures and that there is no point in them expending any effort to attain their part of the American dream. Their potential for betterment lies instead in either criminal behavior, winning the lottery, becoming a star in the entertainment industry or professional sports -- or, most likely, existing at the indulgence of a collectivist, redistributionist government.
So when we see rioting, burning, looting and people dragged out of their vehicles and beaten half to death, we are told that the perpetrators had no other options. Those who would say otherwise define themselves as racist.
Law-abiding citizens -- particularly those born into the Designated Oppressor class -- are expected to be defenseless victims. If the target instead successfully fights back, that is an outrage.
Running from and fighting the police are considered justified in this climate, and the officers are held responsible if anything bad happens.
If a violent criminal who is born a Victim is killed by his chosen target, that is an atrocity and rioting is the automatic response. If there is a trial and the defender is acquitted, more randomly selected Oppressors-by-skin-color will pay in blood.
What is supposed to happen instead is the target is killed or maimed, not the attacker. Then we can wring our hands and wonder what society did to drive the perpetrator to do something so desperate. Finally, we enact more social programs to address “root causes” and develop “positive alternatives” to robbing, raping and murdering.
The inflammation comes from the very top. The President has taken sides on racial lines in several already emotionally charged incidents, including one in which he suggested, before there was any trial, that one of the participants could have been the son he never had. He also sent representatives to the funeral of one party in another occurance -- again before any legal determination had taken place -- while sending nobody to any of the funerals of the 800+ police officers killed in the line of duty since he was sworn into office in January 2009.
The now-former Attorney General has repeatedly expressed distrust, also on racial lines, of the law enforcement system of which he was the head, launching weakly justified federal investigations into local matters as well as embracing known racial hoaxers and provocateurs in front of the cameras in his attempts to sway the judicial process away from the evidence and toward racialized legal outcomes -- or wanting of that, to further erode confidence in law enforcement based on ethnicity.
What is the ultimate aim?
The Right Rev. Al Sharpton himself has given an indication by suggesting that local police nationwide be put under federal control. For years he, the media and politicians of a certain ideological stripe have expressed fear and disdain of the general population’s influence upon government at all levels.
As the racially inflamed mobs continue to wreak terror by burning, destroying, looting, beating and killing on an increasing basis -- and with decreasing provocation necessary -- the general population may yet clamor to sacrifice their freedoms for security.
So perhaps now the time is ripe for an American version of La Guardia Civil Nacional to take over all law enforcement and bring order -- of a sort. Selectively imposed Martial Law might even be considered; perhaps even a suspension of certain elections. And armed law-abiding citizens being able to thwart crime and impede oppressive authority makes it so the Second Amendment remains an obstacle to be addressed also.
The limit is only in the imaginations of our aspiring benign tyrants -- and what they think they might get away with as we continue to be softened up for their version of Shangri-La.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?

To hell with what a handgun can do, show me what a flamethrower can do.
Flamethrowers make me break out in song.
You light up my life
I don't know how many guns I own now.
My late father used one occasionally on Okinawa.
“So perhaps now the time is ripe for an American version of La Guardia Civil Nacional to take over all law enforcement and bring order”
Yes,, a few black cities riot and burn a CVS. So clearly we need a Spanish style paramilitary national police force to take over all law enforcement./
Insane.
You mean the Gestapo.
Think for a moment about the concept of the flamethrower. Okay? The flamethrower. Because we have them. Well, we don't have them—the Army has them. That’s right, we don’t have any flamethrowers! I’d say we’re ****ed if we have to go up against the Army, wouldn’t you? But we have flamethrowers! And what this indicates to me: it means that at some point, some person said to himself:We sure do not need Obama or any other statist in power listening to Carlin any time soon.Gee, I sure would like to set those people on fire over there, but I’m way too far away to get the job done. If only I had something that would throw flame on them!And it might have ended there, but he mentioned it to his friend—his friend who was good with tools! And about a month later he came back: “Hey, quite a concept!” FWOOOSH. And of course the army heard about it, and they came around.We’d like to buy about 500,000 of them, please. We have some people we’d like to throw flame on. Give us 500,000 and paint them dark brown—we don’t want anyone to see them. …
I had to tussle with drunk sailors and Marines while dealing with the city police. At the time, La Guardia was only in charge of the security of the entry and exit from the base and surrounding territory. Rota Police were the ones we had to deal with, who gave carte blanche with our own stupid drunk military. Maybe things have changed. That was a long time ago.
Here's an additional thought for those that don't believe how hard it is to arrest a drunk: It took (5) of us to bring down a big Marine one night. Once down and handcuffed from behind and still kicking, we had to shackle his legs to get him in the patrol wagon and back to Security Department (jail), and he still cursed and thrashed around in the cell for about a half hour until he passed out.
I will never forget that encounter. Those on drugs (including alcohol) are the toughest to take down. They have extra energy; feel little pain; and are determined to fight. Been there; done that and got a fat lip from some drunk sailor at the Enlisted Club one night. My training with a PR-24 took care of that a-hole.
The above is why I'm standing by to see what really happened with Gray.
As long as you have a rifle, you still have a vote.
You mean the Gestapo.
We’ve watched for years as the Leftist agitators manipulated specific targets within our society as cattlemen herd cows. It’s heartbreaking to see them running driven by the deliberate manipulations of a gang of power hungry thugs who don’t give a damned about anything but their power, thus wealth.
Burn it all down. It doesn’t matter to them. Only the power in their control matters.

From what I’ve heard you were lucky to be born if you were conceived after the war.
Average life span of a man with a flamethrower was about 15 minutes from what I’ve heard.
Tells you something about the fear the flamethrower put into the enemy.
My old man was in the CBs. He was on leave in the states getting ready for the invasion of Japan when the bombs were dropped.
He was older so he wouldn’t have been in on the initial invasion but would have gone in later.
Here’s to the bomb or we might not be here.
When someone mentions “Greek Fire” all Obama thinks of is Reggie in a toga.
I am in that group too. Dad was in Marine basic training when the war ended. He still had to mop up Guam and fight ChiComs in China, but that wasn't nearly as dangerous as a assault wave onto mainland Japan would have been.
“...Dad was in Marine basic training when the war ended. He still had to mop up Guam and fight ChiComs in China, but that wasn’t nearly as dangerous as a assault wave onto mainland Japan would have been.”
He said that his future wife was in Nagasaki when the second bomb was dropped, and at the same time, he was amongst the troops who were being staged for the assault on the main island of Honshu.
He said that they both survived that, but would have not survived such an invasion.
