THE NY TIMES HITS THE PANIC BUTTON

I'm guessing the Democrats’ internal polling on the current rioting and protesting is looking really bad, because the New York Times this morning declares a five-alarm fire with this new story (I’ve bolded some revealing bits of the reportage):

How Chaos in Kenosha Is Already Swaying Some Voters in Wisconsin

Don Biehn, 62, owner of a flooring company, was standing in line at a gun store on Tuesday afternoon. He said that he had never bought a pistol before, but that he had a business to protect. A former county board supervisor, Mr. Biehn said he had been calling county and state officials for days, trying to explain how grave the situation was. . .

He added: “It’s chaos — everybody is afraid.” Mr. Trump, he said, “was not my man,” but now he is grateful he is president. He said he seemed to understand in a way that other politicians did not. “There’s nobody fighting back,” he said. “Nobody is paying attention to what’s going on.” . . .

Priscella Gazda, a waitress at a pizza restaurant in Kenosha, . . . said she had voted only once in her life — for Mr. Obama in 2008.

“I’m not the one who would ever vote,” she said. But after the chaos in her town, this year is different. “I am going to vote for Trump,” she said. “He seems to be more about the American people and what we need.”

I’m guessing this story has ruined a lot of breakfasts today for Times readers, and will cause a lot of canceled subscriptions. The Times isn’t supposed to bring its readers unpleasant news like this.

This kind of quote is being repeated in PA, OH, MN, MI, MO, MS, WI, NV, CO, VA and many other states across our nation.

When the ny slimes prints it, it is overwhelming and is a warning to the demonRATS, it is not about informing the public.

Clean up in Aisle 7, someone moved their bowels on the ladies panties.

My choice was a Mossberg 930 SPX.

Love it. My brother calls it a street sweeper. He bought me an 870 Remington pump that gives me 5 shots. Good protection from home invasion. Target practice not exactly necessary.

Yeah, you need to go to the range. You still have to properly aim a shotgun; the pellets spread less than one inch per linear yard of travel.

A shotgun is not a magical wand you wave in the general direction of your unwanted visitor to make them vanish. And if it’s BLM/AF knocking down your door, you’re going to need more than five rounds, even if it’s 12 gauge.

“Democrats, nervous about condemning the looting because they said they understood the rage behind it”

based on that “logic” Democrats would excuse pretty much any murder committed during a rage ... bank robberies would be forgiven too, because they would understand the robber’s need for money ...

It’s okay, the Slimes and the Compost have two Months to take care of things.

Kamala is already out saying Black Folk have never had Equal Rights in America and the Protests will never end.

She is greasing the Rails for the Race War, she ain’t Black, she has never been in Chains and she comes from a long line of Jamaican Slaveholders.

” they are blaming democraps - and rightly so.”

indeed ... i could never fathom why the fool Dem governors and mayors believed that allowing their cities to be burned down by anarchists would be blamed on Trump ... perhaps they believed that if the fake stream enemedia made that ridiculous claim enough times that people would fall for it ...

“If the riots stop all of a sudden, it may be worse for them.”

yep, because it proves all along that they COULD have stopped the anarchy IF THEY WANTED To! ... that was aptly demonstrated in Seattle when the major allowed her police to shut down her anarchy zone in only one day after having allowed it to exist for weeks ...

“I don’t think they CAN rein them in. “

oh, they definitely COULD IF THEY WANTED TO ... all it takes is mustering a massive show of preemptive force and arresting everyone in sight as soon as the first brick is thrown, and in particular, call out the national guard IN ADVANCE as part of the preemptive force, plus have Federal U.S. Marshals standing by to make FEDERAL charges for each and every arrest ...

“And some Democrats, nervous about condemning the looting because they said they understood the rage behind it, worried that what was happening in their town might backfire and aid the president’s re-election prospects.”

Mind you, they’re not concerned about the damage to the city, but just about President Trump’s reelection.

I did research and Kenosha has a sizable Hispanic population.

Who doesn't?

But remember, BLM/ANTIFA are not WWII Jap troops who will Banzai into your foyer. The first couple dead or down screaming will cause the others to reassess their objectives and move on to your unarmed neighbor.

Again - check recent videos. If they run, they don’t run far, and they come right back. And not all of them run. They’re more like the Japanese making screaming banzai charges than we’d like.
