Rabbis don’t make public pronouncements like this unless it is truly serious.
>>Yeah, Ive read Dostoyevsky too, friend...
Evidently so did Jorge’s speech writer, but unfortunately they sort of missed the point that any idiot, useful or otherwise, can burn down the village.
I wonder what would happen if these thugs tried this in a city located in a state that has a “Conceal and Carry” law. For instance; would these thugs get away with rioting and looting like this in say............ Abilene, Texas?

Balti-ghazi. Incompetence alive and well.
By the time Obama's minions are done with our cities, they'll make the Detroit race riots of 1967-8 look like picnics.

Simply a reflection of Bo’s hate and change he promised.
Indeed.
On the way to DC, I stayed one night at a Super 8 on Pulaski Highway and it was the most frightening night of my life.
Ferguson affected my summer plans last year. Wasn’t planning to go east, so I won’t be avoiding Baltimore. But I wouldn’t be surprised if people who do go east this year amend their route - taking their hotel and dining money elsewhere.
That picture illustrates why crew-served weapons were invented ...
This may sound harsh, but I’m all for leftist enclaves being destroyed by their own termites.

Did you notice that HRC was forcefully standing up for the rioters? She knows where the majority stands.
Louisiana is heading toward legal “medical” marijuana. The American people truly want these drugs, but I don’t know why.
