The multimillionaire actor Seth Rogen chastised Neistat for his anger.

Rogen claimed that a car’s contents were minor things to lose.

He added that while living in West Hollywood he had his own car broken into 15 times, but thought little of it.

My idea. GOP adds 4+ senate seats. Texas then secedes. It’s LEGAL. They then proceed to fire all federal employees, including Cornyn/Cruz. Working agreement on the military bases. Start out as a separate country(draconian) with a new fair tax and deport all illegals. 2-4 years later they ‘offer’ to return to the US under their conditions which will spread. This could be done if the house can spare all gop members.

Would love to know how many armed bodyguards are employed in Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Silicon Valley. Suspect the numbers, organization and even coordination rivals the LAPD. The elites have their own police and protection.

Tougher D.A.s, more policing, tougher sentencing, though needed, doesn't truly address the root cause of our national problem. Criminals are emerging from the environment that breeds criminal behavior at at pace greater then the number sent to prison. Eventually half the population will be housed in prison while the other half are sapped with the responsibility to pay for the care and feeding of the incarcerated.

What's the solution to avoid that outcome? "Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"

This has been happening in our largest cities and the practice has cemented Democratic rule in those cities.

People turn to the big gov’t politicians to “solve” the problems created by big gov’t.

Democrats are counting on this working in more parts of the nation.

Anyone who opposes this is a racist or anti-downtrodden. So, few will speak out.

Sad to see that our nations leaders and justice system have become the peoples worst enemy. Worse still they have no concern if the population thinks that. It’s truly heartbreaking watching this daily now.

The US needs to solve the family crisis which leads to a crime crisis.

The left wants a two-class system. The super rich and their helpers on one side, and the untermenschen, modern peasants who work in sweatshops or who are welfare state clients.

“But such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.”

How many obese people were in the slums of Cairo in the early 70’s? How many of them would refuse to be taken in by shelters and fed regularly if such options were open to them? Pretty big difference in my opinion.

Our societal conditions are like nothing that has ever existed in history.

>> Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not. <<

That's the money line.

” ... played the predictable role of the smug ... “

We need a new word for the perpetually smug.

Smuggoid? Smuggie? Smug-Face?
