Either way, I hate it for the decent folks caught in the middle of this. But just like the muzzies, I see no counter protests from the s’posed “peaceful majority”. So I guess their silence is consent. d:^)


Angela Dawson of Baltimore tried notifying the police about crime in her neighborhood. For her trouble, her house was firebombed, and all 7 of her family members were killed.

You can be sure that silence does not always equal consent.

Yup, that's pretty bad. But it brings up more questions, IMO.

#1 How did it get out that she was the one that reported it? Is there no anonymity in that process to protect against this kind of retaliation?

#2 Where's the outrage from the community over this incident?

#3 If that's the reality of the community, that criminals are allowed by the police (for self defense from ambush both legal and illegal) and the citizenry to run amok, Then mebbe I'm mistaken and the criminal element is the majority.

If that be the case, seems the decent folks may be setting themselves up to be "collateral damage" when it truly does get outta hand and hasta be dealt with.

Either way, inaction will lead to an undesirable outcome. Something along the lines of Churchill's "If you will not fight" quote comes to mind. Society's attempt to curb this has been to dedicate resources to that issue, i.e. police activity and various social services. With the former currently being soundly rejected. And at least part of the latter being the root cause of this "universal" grief. So if it cannot be fixed from within, then we're destined to keep cycling thru a crescendo of violent incidents until it reaches that breaking point we keep reading about. Which never ends well.
