I think the Leftists (These I describe as hard-core) know full well that crime has less to do with poverty, ignorance, and disease than it does with real and simple evil.

Granted, we will make the appropriate accommodations for people who are so poor they are starving and must break any laws to eat, but...these Leftists looting high end stores while shoe-horning their fat asses into the vehicles to escape are not those people.

The poverty, ignorance, and disease excuse (called “PID” for short by the Left) is simply an opiate for the “Liberals” (those useful idiots who vote for Leftists) to be used as a rational cover to rationalize their lust for power and control.

Those with their hands on the levers of power on the Left know full well it is more evil than want which compels people to crime, but...they need to use the poverty, ignorance, and disease as a shibboleth to provide emotional cover to the Useful Idiot Liberals so they can rationalize their support for tyrants and tyranny.

Interesting comparison. The Earps were strong Republicans, and the Clantons were Democrats.4

Victor Davis Hanson frequently talks about the REALLY tough guys that are called on to solve problems like Sherman, LeMay, and Trump. People love the results, but are eventually repulsed by their tough, often brutal methods and, after they have accomplished their mission, unceremoniously dump them. Hanson observes that this is the theme of so many classic American Western tales like Liberty Valence and Shane.

Everything happened as intended. It’s all part of the movement to transfer money that has been earned lawfully to criminals, for votes.

The “Jethro” reference sounds like it’s making fun of the DA by calling him “Jethro Bodine”, the character that Max Baer Jr played brilliantly on the’60’s sitcom “The Beverly Hillbillies”.

Just a guess....and considering this DA’s intelligence level, it’s a good match.

>People don’t like it when they actually get what they voted for????

When Soros is involved, people don’t get what they voted for, even there.

It is interesting that the Black Panthers (another violent, communist front racist organization like BLM) murdered their bookkeeper. .. because she “knew too much” . About illegal money? Sources of money? Distribution of money to the organization’s greedy polit-bureaucrats leaders?

LOL, in those days back in the late Sixties/early Seventies, most likely theft and graft to line their own pockets. Today, I have no doubt it would be money sources and political connections/kickbacks...

Yes. I see BLM and Black Panthers as exactly the same entity ideologically speaking.

Exactly.

Remember they called Detroit the “motor city”.

Well, San Francisco is now the “poop city”.

You never want to be a bookkeeper or an accountant for a leftist organization.

There will be theft, and there will be bad things that will happen to you if you find it.

Thanks. I immediately thought of Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies as well as Jethro Tull. I didn’t connect “Bodine” with “Boudin,” thought.

Now it is clear and a very apt reference.

It turned out The Black Panthers were dealing drugs. Huey Newton was whacked. The woman likely did “know too much”.

Even for Weatherman, Louis Vuitton is going too far! By the time they get there, DONORS are being affected.

Chesa Boudin learned from real professional liberal communists intent on overthrowing the US Government....

His parents were members of 70s terror group The Weather Underground...who were sent to prison for attempting to rob an armored car where several police officers and security guards were killed.... He was raised by Obama Friends Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers....

So you're saying he's filth of the filth - an evil man spawned by evil filthy commie trash? Stunning he would have Soros backing.../s

This commie sh*t objects to high-end stores being robbed because that's where he and his fellow commie thugs shop?

(And white liberal 'elites' who prop commie thug's power...)

But this human filth did NOT object to Walgreens being robbed repeatedly BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE LITTLE PEOPLE SHOP? HOW PREDICTABLE. MAY HE ROT IN HELL.
