The whole problem with this entire race situation in America is that the powers that be play defense. If they believed in equal rights for all men/women, they would apply and enforce them. And that means shutting down the race pimps day 1, followed by an of their disciples. they didn’t. They cowered and EVERY TIME one cowers, the problem grows and fixing it is harder.
With this as with my other issue on FR, there’s no going back to fix things. The problem grew and now cities will burn. We can collectively beg for more cowardice or stand up for what’s right and enforce the damn laws.
And that includes ALL the criminal laws. Enforced FULLY.
Norm, I hate (truly hate) if this situation goes nationwide but is looking very possible. Nightmares, for all of us, if this situation goes nationwide.
At a G8 meeting in my city three years ago, the same tactics were used. Smash storefronts, then firebomb, then run. Backpacks propellants in and insert under vehicles and in buildings after gaining entry. The police knew all of this, at least the FBI did. For some reason they DELIBERATELY hung back, created an understaffed, under provisioned force, and then used that as an excuse to avoid engagement.
All of this smells; this is orchestrated. Democrats in cahoots? Nixon and Holder? There is a setup in here somewhere. Once again, all of this has nothing to do with race.
Tomorrow's AM meetings are too late. The plan has already rolled out.
