Daniel Greenfield is correct. Unfortunately, the left doesn’t read Daniel Greenfield.

Only the Left Can Stop Political Violence in America - Greenfield...

Then we’re in for a lot more ####ing violence.

In the tradition of Mao, Stalin, Hitler and other communists/socialists/fascists, they will continue as they know no other way.

The left is giddily accusing president Trump of inciting violence...among liberals. So far all the violence has been perpetrated by leftists who blame Trump for inciting them to violence.

Yes, they lie.

They harass, they lie, they attack, they blame the victims for their purposeful attacks.

None of these things they do happen by accident. And they know it.

The story that they are the only ones who can stop it is wrong. We can stop it. It just takes commitment and ammo.

The Violent Left and their Pushers want violence so Greenfield, while right in his contention that “The Left” is the only group that can stop their violence, many don’t want to for several reasons.

1. Democrats reverse the victims here, playing that part for themselves while accusing Conservatives, alt-right, the KKK and Rush Limbaugh of promoting hatred.
2. Wackjob congresspeople like Schiff, Waters, Warren, Sanders, etc. are making political points and positioning themselves for future leadership roles in a new fascistic or Marxist Democrat Party.
3. Some people are self-made psychos while others were born psycho, but now have a chance to let the cat out of the bag.
Some become radicalized like SDS supporters, and in the future, will calm down, but not after some become cannonfodder to the conservative reactions of force.
4. Some are hardcore Marxists, black racists, self-hating white (i.e. white privilege), men-haters (esp. the far-left lesbians), etc. They are in a class of “weird and dangerous” all by themselves, and some will be severely injured or killed when they start their attacks on the “wrong people” (i.e. those who are prepared to fight back and will do so in spades, 22 cal. 30 Cal, 32 & 38 Cal, 40M, 45 Cal, 356, .556 etc. And if a gun isn’t around or necessary, a baseball bat will do just fine. You aim for the wrists, kneecaps, ankles and behind the ankles, where the shoulder meets the neck, and the balls. No need to kill, just disable. Lesson learned.
5. The Media wants violence. It sell papers, online stories, ads, wins awards, and promotes their own leftwing ideology (without having to leave the well-protected TV/Cable network facilities. This is the cowardly way to promote a revolution, done mainly by overpaid white liberals and black extremists, plus some genderbender weirdos.

The Left is one big “Psychopathic, Ego-Maniacal Mass” of violence and nice words and “pretty please” aren’t going to stop them. The police can’t or won’t in most major Democrat run cities. In the smaller cities and towns, the sheriff departments will do just fine, aided by armed, concerned citizens who could be deputized or form a posse comitatus in certain circumstances.

Otherwise well armed, trained, and combat experienced neighborhood, club/lodge groups, etc. will protect their neighborhoods from intruders, while some will take the fight right into the cities and show no mercy.

The time for psychoanalyzing these dangerous people and groups is long over. What we need now are well organized backup groups for the police/sheriffs, etc. who are well armed, trained, and experienced in combat, and WILLING to defend their family, friends, neighbors, and areas, if not their stores where feasible. You know damned well the police are not going to defend your business.

Just look at Ferguson, Philly, Baltimore, Portland, DC, Seattle, etc. Lessons Learned. Be prepared to do it yourself.

MY neighborhood has enough veterans from Vietnam through Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. to beat back any mob because they have the training, combat experience, discipline and arms.

Others won’t be so lucky. Hopefully their are the rich liberal white areas who supported Antifa, Black Lives Matter, etc.

Only time will tell, but as they say in the Boy Scouts “Be Prepared”, and in the Coast Guard, “Semper Paratus” (Always Prepared).

Wow.

What a great and level headed and well written post.

Mine are just full of curses :)

It should be on the sidebar for people to read.

And every word of it is right.

As for our neighborhoods, they KNOW not to venture into yours, nor will they venture into my predominantly Italian ancestry neighborhood because many here would welcome it.

Any normal Italians already moved to NJ and the maniacs stayed behind on the Island of Staten :)

That’s why when that fat guy died while police were subduing him some years back, they protested in metrosexual Manhattan.

Many in the neighborhood own business and have guns or just don’t give a #### and have guns, cuomo and de blasio be damned.

The 2nd amendment is what counts. Not some a@@holes in office here.

You are RIGHT that the time is WAY past for platitudes and acquiescing to their innate nature of terror.

BTW, what are “SDS supporters”?

Thanks.

Thanks for the comments.

SDS supporters (Students for A Democratic Society) are liberal, druggies and some anarchist supporter of the Marxist captured original left-liberal student organization SLID (Student League for Industrial Democracy)

Tom Hayden and a couple of others turned it into SDS (Port Huron, Mich, Statement) 1963 and then kept moving further to the Marxist left with the help of the old Communist Party USA, a few far-left Social Democrats, and the New Left (neo-anarchists who eventually submitted to Hayden’s Marxist approach to attacking society).

I saw some of this first hand as an undercover operative, while my late friend, Larry Grathwohl, was a deep FBI operative in the worst of the SDS faction that became known as the Weathermen who were trained in terrorism by the Cuban DGI, the KGB controlled Secret Police, possibly by some PLO operatives, IRA, and Japanese Red Army operatives.

Most SDS members (I was one myself, for at least a day or two), eventually drifted away from the psychopathic violence that Bill Ayers and his then girlfriend, Bernadine Dohrn, promoted as the operative method of their faction.

Most of the leadership of the Weather Underground never served any serious jail time, though some second tier psychos did). Now some are professors, writers, and friends of Obama.

Wow. Wow. And Wow.

I knew nothing of any of this.

I’m 50 and remember hearing about the Weather Underground and some bombings, but I didn’t know all of this.

And how far back it reached.

And how other govts were involved.

It seems like an Exhausting, NEVER ENDING battle between good and evil in this country.

I guess it always has been.

You’ve had some experiences, my friend.

Glad that you can share your knowledge with us.

Makes an easy target, as do most of his species when “acting out” as they love to call it.

Left-wing violence in the late 1960s and early 1970s was similar to what we are now seeing. So was the demonization of Richard Nixon, who was probably more of a centrist than a right-winger.

A common occurrence near or on university campuses in the U.S., Canada and other western countries was burning police cars, blowing up computer labs (the computers of that time were big suckers housed in large rooms, you’ve probably seen them in space travel movies of that era).

The leftist violence cycle tried to renew itself in the Reagan presidency but students at that time were less open to left-wing agitation, without Vietnam as a focus. Also the Soviet Union appeared to be a tired and doomed entity bogged down in Afghanistan, so it had less appeal to students than it might have had around 1970.

The one thing that was missing from the equation back then was the internet, so people were more dependent on mainstream media which slanted news coverage in much the same way they do today. And there was no hysteria about global warming, even Hurricane Camille in 1969 did not get blamed on human activity, and it was a doozy.

Well, you be a New Yorker, so you lived in a bubble of NYC centric thought and ideas. Outside ideas are not accepted.

Reminds me of my younger liberal lawyer (redundant) brother that claimed to have never heard of the descriptive PIAPS until a few months ago when I explained it to him.

Staten Island is very conservative and so was pop.

And one tends to speak of current evens when talking politics.

I know my lack of knowledge in this area had a lot more to do with the fact that I was maybe 7 when the Weather Underground was at its peak.

I wasn’t as interested in politics and the news back then and all I wanted to talk about was what new army tank model set I was getting next :)

Thanks for sharing that. It’s like a combination of this, plus what it must have been like right before the Civil War, plus a spiritual element of evil in the country right now.
