In the 50s there was a riot at the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. Locals came out and surrounded the prison with their rifles and shotguns ready to shoot any prisoners who tried to get over the wall.

Today there is a riot at the St Louis jail and the crowd is there to support the inmates. Times have changed.

That’s real smart. Set fire to a portion of a facility in which you are locked inside.

When the leaders of a nation are not accountable to the law, lawlessness and anarchy eventually spreads throughout the society.

There is a price to pay when laws are not equally applied, justice is not swift or proportionate to the crime, and the justice system has been both politicized and weaponized.

Break down the culture, embrace immorality, create a victim mentality in segments of the population, eliminate any sense of personal accountability for one’s behavior and there will be no respect for the institutions of a civilized society at any level.

This incident is just more evidence our civilization is rapidly being deliberately destroyed to be replaced by anarchy. When the people have suffered enough mob rule they will beg for a tyrant to bring order.

Wake me when the rioters are dead. Otherwise, they are just continuing threats to society.

What are throwable objects doing in a prison, accessible to inmates?

Pay close attention to the bit about approval voting. And note the margin in the primary.

Sound familiar...?
