It is because of incidents like this, we are facing the possibility of increased unrest through out the country.

The people in the dome are mad, and justifiably so. This whole evacuation has been a charlie fox from the beginning. I just pray that the authorities can learn from this, and that it doesn't injure and destroy the fragile fabric of our nation to much more that it already has.

Yes.

I live in Tennessee. I just talked to my neighbor and he's out shopping for a pump shotgun today. He and I agree we are this far (holding two fingers an inch apart) from total anarchy in the United States.

We have millions of people in this country who are irresponsible and believe they are entitled to pillage and plunder at the slightest inconvenience to their lives.

Even on this site, we have plenty of looting apologists.

Oh, don't worry. The race-baiters and race-hustlers of the angry, impotent, hateful left will make sure that as much damage as possible is done to that fragile fabric. Dividing and demagogueing are the only way they know to try to win power.

It is we who must learn from this. We must learn to do our own thinking, to rely on ourselves, to prepare ourselves, to keep informed to make wise decisions about our well-being. If there's anything to be learned, it's that no one should depend on anyone else to do their thinking for them. These people had warning a devastating storm was coming -- not all of them were crippled and old and trapped unnecessarily. The government has never proven to me that I should rely on it before I rely on myself.
