A Bridge Too Far?
American Thinker ^ | 10 Sep, 2020 | J. Robert Smith

Fox News had an interview posted on Labor Day with conservative filmmaker and commentator Dinesh D’Souza. D’Souza has a new film, Trump Card, which will be digitally released on October 9.

The article’s headline was “Dinesh D’Souza says recent riots and political unrest could lead to ‘rise of citizen militias around the country.” Anyone with a shred of common sense isn’t surprised.

When Democrats neuter police, refuse to impose strict curfews, and refuse to call up the National Guard, lawlessness, involving violence, ensues. Why should looters and rioters stand down when they routinely confront police whose hands are tied? Why wouldn’t emboldened mobs take their violence and destruction out of Democrat cities?

Marauders and thugs invading the ‘burbs have happened erratically, to date. But suburbanites best not think their communities immune. City riots are leftist arson. Once sparked, they can spread like wildfires. Mobs still have plenty to do torching Portland and other blue cities. But as forest fires crown and spread rapidly, so, too, may mob action if not halted.

Imagine firefighters being ordered to stand down when fires are raging. What alternative do citizens have then? Step into the breach or else. If leftist mobs move out to menace suburbs, why wouldn’t we expect citizens to band together to form militias, neighborhood by neighborhood, if only?

SNIP

The upside-down morality that infects the Ted Wheelers and Jenny Durkans is a perversity, which has been rarely encountered so brazenly in America. It informs Democrat policies and governance. Right is wrong, wrong, right.

A pretty good summary of the political divide. I am beginning to think there is no way to peacefully resolve, unfortunately.

FYI, firefighters and EMTs won’t engage if gunfire is present.

A good buddy is an EMT and he wears a level 3 vest EVERY time he answers a call, mostly for knife protection. But it’ll also stop a 9mm.

One of the reasons the Left is fearless is there are largely no personal consequences to the rioters and arsonists and they are protected by a corrupted legal system. The Left needs to start taking major casualties when they try to destroy society.

These communist insurgents won’t come up here. It would be suicide. But I have to go to the city periodically. And I know that I can’t just sit this out.

The same thing applies to democrat election fraud. The election fraud has spread like wildfire and will burn the country down during the TIP insurrection.
