Defending Yourself in Blue Cities Might Land You in Prison

No one likes a “dirty water” dog and a knish more than I, but New York City — or “Moscow on the Hudson,” as I call it — isn’t safe to visit these days, for several reasons.

If you think the overwhelming stench of jazz salad is annoying, wait until you drive your loafer into a steaming pile of human feces Eric Adams street kabob.

I don’t perform comedy shows in New York City at this point. My lefty friends tell me I’m being pusillanimous — kidding, they aren’t smart enough for that word — for not wanting to risk a street crime.

That’s not the case. I grew up in an “evolving” neighborhood in Detroit. I moved to New York City in 1986, when 1,309 New Yorkers were redrummed in the first 10 months of the year. I lived in New York City during the early 1990s, when north of 2,000 people were slaughtered each year. I’ve paid my dues.

Bernhard Goetz — a 37-year-old white man — shot four black teens who surrounded him and asked for a $5 “donation” back in 1984, making himself something of a hero back when your average New Yorker was sick of getting bopped, robbed, raped, or shot.

Goetz would eventually beat the attempted murder rap and do a mere 250 days in jail on an illegal gun charge. Those were the days, my friend.

What’s truly terrifying isn’t so much today’s crime rate, but being sent to jail if I clock an animal trying to kill me or brutalize my fiancee.

Commie prosecutors — many funded by George Soros — have been told to punish crime victims who dare stand up for and protect themselves from the lefty legions of drug zombies, street thugs, and modern brown shirts who roam the outhouses we once called Chicago, Austin, New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco — in other words, Democrat-run American cities.

FACT-O-RAMA! As you were baking ham and attending church, Chicago celebrated Easter weekend by ventilating 23 people, five of whom died.

Getting jumped is scary. Going to jail for fighting back is terrifying, and that’s what’s happening in Democrat dumps around the nation (and even in red states that ought to know better).

You may remember the McCloskeys. The gun-wielding coupl had the audacity to arm themselves and stare down a large group — 300-500 strong — of BLM skanks and their non-binary sisters in Antifa, who had broken into their gated neighborhood.

Kim Gardner, the St. Louis bolshie prosecutor, had the McCloskey home searched. The AR-15 Mr. McCloskey held was purloined. That groovy little silver pistol Mrs. McCloskey held (like a perfume bottle if you ask me) was already in her lawyer’s safe.

After they were unarmed, the crowd returned. The McCloskeys tried to hire private security and could get none. One security specialist suggested the couple abandon their home.

They chose not to. The crowd returned and threatened to kill the McCloskeys. The animals screamed taunts — they even claimed they’d kill the family dog.

The McCloskeys eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanors — for protecting their home from hundreds of miscreants — and paid fines.

But Here’s a little KARMA for you:

The leftist Kim Gardner is fighting for her career as you read this. Good. Sic Semper Tyrannis.

The missus needs to learn a little trigger discipline, but otherwise what happened to the McCloskeys on their own property is a travesty of justice.

As I understand it, they never got their seized firearms back from the police.

Basically, if you live in a Blue city, Blue county, or Blue state, don’t bother trying to defend yourself, you will lose. If you’re already there, prepare to have to deal with the ferals on THEIR TERMS, and try to get out as soon as possible.

The McCloskeys were pardoned by Governor Parsons. MO law limits pardons to after someone is convicted. By pleading guilty to the misdemeanors, they immediately received the pardon.

The mob was led by Cori Bush, who was rewarded for her efforts by being elected to Congress.

Kim Gardner, was also rewarded by her constituents by being re-elected despite lots of evidence of malfeasance in office. If she should be kicked out of office, I have little doubt that she will win re-election.

Some photo editor found his sling objectionable?

I think it came out that her gun was mis-assembled after a cleaning and was incapable of firing. That doesn't change the "brandishing" charge, however, of which they both should have been acquitted.
