"Executing Police or anyone in the street because you disagree with them is the definition of a terrorist.
This thing is well beyond any so called 'protest'. BLM/Antifa have escalated into violent active terrorists.
If the Republicans don't address this violent shift, it will only get much worse.
If the Republicans refuse to condemn the thugs then they will be complicit with their crimes.
We know the Democrats will never condemn them because the terrorists work with and for Democrats.
Silence in this case can only be interpreted as tacit support for what they are doing."
240b, I always read your posts with care and appreciation.
But.. from early on in the antifa/blm/communist insurgency, you were one of the prominent voices in this forum stating that "Trump and the federals" should stay out of it, that we should let the rioters (again, more correctly, insurgents) riot and the looters loot until the local populace couldn't take it any more and fought back.
Well, that ain't happenin', aside from Kyle Rittnenhouse and perhaps one or two more. The insurgency continues and even seems to be fanning out into the close-in suburbs.
Do you sense that the time is finally comin' to "send in the troops"?
(either state National Guard under federal control, or the U.S Army)
For at least a couple of years I've been stating on this forum that a number of blue cities are approaching a state of open rebellion, particularly where "sanctuary" was involved, and that the time would come when the federal government (at least while it was under Republican control) would have to declare these cities and even entire states to be in open rebellion. And then... send in federal agents backed by federal troops to remove elected officials and restore Constitutional government.
The time for that has already arrived in Oregon and Washington, perhaps in Chicago and New York City as well.
When a foreign power attacks a country, it becomes the responsibility of the national government to defend and repel the invasion. This is not and can never be the function of state and/or municipal governments.
We are experiencing an insurgent rebellion which is NOT "against" individual cities or states.
It is a rebellion against the government of The United States.
Sooner or later, the only way to put it down will be by a RESPONSE from "The United States". If you're waiting for the individual state governments to respond to the communist insurgents... well... good luck, pal, 'cause you're gonna need it. The reason is that the "elected officials" in these states are in many cases ON THE SAME SIDE as are the insurgents -- that is to say, they are socialists or outright communists.
And there's really only one way that's going to stop the looting, burning and rioting cold in its tracks.
Everyone in this forum knows what that is, but every other member is afraid to say it, so I will:
Give the orders to shoot the looters, arsonists, and violent rioters on sight.
Shoot enough of them, and I assure you... the riots, looting and arson will stop.
That's how you "end it".
That's the first step to ending the burgeoning communist revolution that's now beginning in America.
But that's only "the first step".
There will be much more to be done after the streets are cleared, and "the new Reconstruction" begins...
