Dinesh D'Souza says recent riots and political unrest could lead to 'rise of citizen militias around the country'
Fox News ^ | 6 Sep 2020 | Nick Givas

'I'm not advocating this, I'm predicting it. It is a natural and inevitable response to the militarization of one side'

Conservative filmmaker and scholar Dinesh D'Souza said Sunday that recent rioting and political division within the U.S. could lead to the "rise of citizen militias," if societal tensions are not quickly de-escalated and diffused.

"The problem is that you respond [to rioting] through the lawful authorities, which is through the police; if things escalate beyond a certain point then you call in federal assistance. If things escalate beyond that point you call in the military," he told Fox News during a phone interview. "Local governments and state governors are calling down the cops and licensing their own private gangs. If the cops won't protect us, then you're going to see the rise of citizen militias around the country."

"I'm not advocating this," he added. "I'm predicting it. It is a natural and inevitable response to the militarization of one side."

D'Souza, whose new documentary film "Trump Card" is set to come out next month, claimed the escalation of division by the Democratic party has set off a chain reaction, which has caused cities to break down and inspired hardworking taxpayers to start new lives in more rural areas of the country.

"There's a great line from the movie Breaker Morant, 'When one side violates the rules of engagement you would expect the same type of conduct from the other,'" he explained. "This has to be stopped, otherwise you're going to see things just deteriorate. Cities will become uninhabitable. The cities are the center of western civilization. You have commerce and you have culture. The Democrats are making it such that it's difficult to have either one. That means technology, commerce, and culture will decamp and move out of the city,..

Isn’t this what the anarcho-tyrants want? For the good citizens to battle futilely against the Democrat Party’s anarchist shock troops, while the tyrants themselves accrue more and more power to themselves by way of emergency decrees?

Northern Idaho doesn’t have militias. We got hunters in 80% of the families here.

The only problem I see with that is leftists moving out of the with technology and commerce. They are not welcome. Perhaps we should fence the perimeter of cities and make the inhabitants work out their own problems. We don't need the rest of America infected by these scum. I believe this is where citizen militias have a role. Turning the leftists away.

Militia formation is the U.S. code authorized duty of every able-bodied male. (Title 50).

Even Dinesh thinks they’re going to dump Biden. He’s just a distraction from their radicalized racism.

His assumption that we bare even a passing resemblance to our fore fathers is incorrect.

We have the nation we deserve,

The 2nd Amendment from memory...
A well-regulated (meaning well-trained, well-disciplined and properly outfitted) militia (the whole people of all able-bodied men between the ages of 17 and 45 per US code) being necessary to the security of a Free State (enemies foreign or domestic per every oath ever taken to serve) the right of the people to keep and bear arms..

“This has to be stopped, otherwise you’re going to see things just deteriorate. Cities will become uninhabitable...”

Friends of ours were in Haiti about forty five years ago. While walking down the street, a man stole something from a store and ran.
Immediately the Tonton Macoutes were on him and beat the coon dog..., ah, that is, beat him to a pulp.

Shocked, they were told by a shop owner that it had to be this way or else no one could have a shop as everything would be looted.

If there is a fight to be fought it needs to be against Washington, D.C.

What about Democrat mayors who have allied with “antifa” to terrorize their own cities?

The cities are the center of western civilization.

In most of the world. In the USA, we use them as open-air insane asylums.

Wrong. It’s not the riots and political unrest that will cause the rise of militias and vigilante groups - it’s the castration of police forces by the Rats politicians that will cause that.

If the cops were allowed to do their jobs, you wouldn’t need militias and vigilantes. But desperate times will cause people to do desperate things and they will use whatever means at their disposal to protect their lives and property.

They want us to fight amongst ourselves in the streets when democrat leaders and the bureaucratic state need to be the main targets.
