"My son is an EMT in a shit-hole democratic city near me - he often has to wear a bullet proof vest to. Yep, the people that are showing up to save your useless lives have to wear a bullet-proof vest - thanks democrats."

Please tell him an old navy swabbie so appreciates his efforts/sacrifice. I so respect fire-fighters and EMT even more than LEO. They are the best of the best of our first responders, much like SEAL's, Delta, Rangers, etc. in the military.

"There are a lot of locations worldwide that need “correction” in order to fix what ails this planet."

That's a no-sh*tter as the saying used to go. Unfortunately, I don't see any fix with the "planet" leaning towards socialism and communism. Please show me I'm wrong. I've lost faith in mankind, and going out enjoying my wife and doggy. However, I advise all not to try to jab my body. People will lose.

The problem is there’s no sales tax.

If the unrest in the area threatened the coffers of the DNC you would see the police authorized to you shoot to kill tactics to Silence Antifa

>>I know EMTs and paramedics who have been threatened if the patient dies, particularly if the patient is a friend or relative of a gang member.

Yep, my son the EMT often tells me stories like this; when they bring a half-dead gang-banger to the hospital, the places is locked down like fort Knox with cops everywhere - so that the rival gang doesn’t show up to finish the job.

So on one hand the local government abets terrorism by condoning Antifa violence, then offers to supply first responder firefighters with body armor. Only fair, I guess.

We have had them on the trucks for probably 5 years. The active shooter classes started shortly after. I pray I never have to put one on for real.

The elites are pushing globalist/communist tyranny.

But the vast majority of the people do not want it.

There is much resistance all over the world.

Let’s see what happens.

Rather than clear out the threat they make the firefighters targets. Nice work P-Town.

I'm not sure it's a "vast majority", but read all the time that many European nations are getting fed up with their politicians, especially regarding immigration. I never thought I'd see Australian turn into a totalitarian country because of a survivable illness like Covid-19. They have completely locked down their entire nation. Sheesh,

I pay attention to protests and resisting and post on twtter. Huge mass protests, ongoing, in the UK, Italy,France, Germany, Croatia, Greece, Brazil, and many other countries, including Australia. And of course here - in NYC and many other places. Increasingly huge protests. “We will not comply”. More and more. Of course Fake News pretends they aren’t happening.

More and more former liberals and dem voters are joining the ranks, saw a poll the other day (which are always weighted “wrong”) - something like 58% of Dems think FJoeBiteme is using covid to push tyranny. The other day, for example, there was a short twtter video of people in a vaxed only restaurant in NYC doing the “Eff Joe Biden” chant, which is heard increasingly at sport events and all over. It’s become huge, especially among young people.

Things are very, very interesting.
