HISTORY: How A Dishonest Press Stokes America’s Simmering Political Violence

(snip) --- Part and parcel of the key role of illegal immigration is the general “lawlessness” in the nation embodied in cities and states thumbing their noses at the federal government with such things as “sanctuary cities.” The unwillingness or inability of Donald Trump’s administration so far to deal with this has contributed to the general climate of violence—not his “rhetoric.” Rather, there still seems a sense that lawbreakers at the highest level on down to the city council can get away with ignoring the law.

Lincoln spoke reverently about the law. In doing so, he was indirectly addressing the inherent violence of “mobbing” and the lynching of blacks in the South.

Once you apply the law fairly and equally to all, miraculous things happen: a sense of civic duty appears. This is the force that has adults correct misbehaving teenagers in public; which has ordinary people pick up litter that they did not throw down; that has pedestrians and drivers alike obey traffic signs. It is the glue of society that has been steadily eroded by illegal immigration for 30 years and now by the stupendous failure of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to enforce the law seemingly at any level. He is capable of holding a back-patting press conference on a goofball incompetent bomber, but has yet to arrest a single member of the Deep State for attempting to overthrow and election, or to put one California public official in jail for flaunting immigration laws.

“The law” has a way of imposing itself, often when violence grows so common that, to quote “Cousin Eddie” in “Christmas Vacation,” the “Shitter’s full.” Unfortunately, if we reach that point, it will not be law enforcement officials who will finally enforce “the Law.”

"Hillary Clinton broke 18 US Code 793f. It is black letter law. The refusal of any executive branch authority to even accuse her of the crime, much less charge her, is a perfect example of the problem you address."

____________

Yes..........

We basically have had a lawless government for a very long time.

Now that that lawless government has chosen to ATTEMPT TO STEAL/FIX AN ELECTION, THEN TRY TO RID THE COUNTRY OF THE WINNER we need to rid the country of these miscreants ...... by most any means possible.

(Sorry to say.)

"This is a great read. Thanks."

Good to hear. Please pass it along.

"how was the inauguration violence and all the violence which followed Trumps fault? What specifically did Trump do to cause this violence? And more importantly, how could Trump have put a stop to all this well organized and well financed leftist violence?"

________

I think you have misunderstood the actual meaning of this article.

My wife just read your article.

She told me to pass the following along to you.

_______

She said ..."tell Larry that Trump should send the military down to the border with hundreds of buses.

Pile all the illegals in the vehicles and bus them all to sanctuary cities."

I've been with her for 45 years.She's a real card.

I love that quote.

“In May 1856, a mob sacked Lawrence, Kansas and destroyed the office of BigLeaguePolitics . . . wait, I’m sorry, it was the anti-slave newspaper The Kansas Free State. (I get my media lynch mobs confused).”

Your question, "Is this Trumps fault too? If so, how so?" is silly and purposefully contentious and sophomoric.

That Floriduh shooting just occurred on Sunday. Get real.

[dragnet2]

I noted you and at least one other have evaded the questions.

Tell me, what Democrat violent incidents do ya blame Trump for?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks a little elbow grease.

Failure to enforce the law promotes lawlessness.

Surely you understand this simple concept.

[LS]

You dind’t read clearly. I said that FAILURE TO PROSECUTE the violent Inauguration antifa elements only emboldened all those who came after.

Do you really, really think that if every one of those who engaged in violence had been slapped with maximum sentences, you would have seen such similar crap in other areas? I say nay nay.

[thinden]

very good piece by LS.

thanx for the ping.

[LS]

Correct. And now, every day that goes by that DOJ/Sessions does NOT address this lawlessness & sanctuary cities sadly is complicit in all subsequent violence.

Good find.

Another: Tombstone.

Remember how “Sheriff Beehan” wouldn’t take any action against the “Cowboys”? His incompetence contributed to the final blood letting.

[elcid1970]

Lucky man, married to such an intelligent wife.

Busing illegals from the border to sanctuary cities is an EXCELLENT idea!

[dragnet2]

Failure to prosecute?

But you said "The unwillingness or inability of Donald Trump’s administration so far to deal with this has contributed to the general climate of violence".

Which is it? Do you think these radical violent Democrats are afraid of the cops or being prosecuted? Many of them wear being arrested and prosecuted as a badge of honor? No?

Do you expect Trump, the same president who half the country thinks is Hitler reincarnated, to arrest and or fire every single judge and or prosecutor and or anyone else who does not enforce the law to your expectations?

How do you think that would work out?
