There is basically a national crisis of young, violent, black males turning many large cities into risky, dangerous places.
Nobody of importance, either liberal or conservative, wants to admit it.

To the contrary (kinda)... I think it is purposeful.

It's fixed in mere weeks with the DA turning a blind eye for a week or two, letting the LEOs bust some heads to regain order. Then prosecute perps the hard way... Enforce the law with every prejudice (heh, mebbe a poor word). Order will be restored. The hard way.

But that's not what they're doing.

So few seem to realize that the laws of natural selection not only apply to the animal kingdom due lawlessness  Sad, but honest.

That's right - But more to the point, the solution to the problem is plain. That it is not being implemented speaks volumes. It is purposeful. Then the proper question is 'why?'...  :pondering:

@roamer_1

As a wise man once noted,"Out of chaos comes order".

It remains to be seen who will be giving the orders after the next elections,the UN,or the citizens of the United States.

I have never in my life hoped to be so wrong,but even though Trump is in the lead now,the globalists WILL find a way to remain in control. Many of them having been working towards this their whole lives,and some are now the adult children of parents that spent their whole lives working towards "World  Wide Government,Inc",and the total control it would give them.

You're right of course, or close to it.

Not if the dummies that refuse to vote for him stay home.

Then again,all you care about is making sure that "Rude,Rich,Orange Man" gets beaten.

IF this happens,I am going to be ALL up in your Biden EVERY time I see you whining about what is happening to America.

Doesn't matter if he wins. If he does, 4 more years of crazy high cost, governing by EO, and all wiped out the minute he leaves office. A giant waste of time, and money, going right back to normal the moment he's gone.

All y'all will never learn. Your messiahs can't get a damn thing done. That's the problem with populism... And ts utter failure, every dang time.

So,it's better to let the Dims win/steal another election so they don't have to waste any time in their quest to destroy us as a free and independent nation/people?

When did  you become a "surrender monkey?

The TRUTH is that like it or not,Trump is the ONLY chance America has of remaining independent BECAUSE he is not a career politician,and the ONLY thing he cares about is how he gets written up in the history books.

IF he is able to defeat the Dim and all their illegal alien/non-existent human votes,it will,at a minimum,give us another  4 years to come up with someone to run and "pick up the ball and run  with it."

BTW,since WHEN has it been necessary for a SANE voters to think a Presidential candidate is his personal "Goomba" before they will vote for him?

Yeah,I DO get the "almost everybody loved Reagan" thing,but that was a rare happening and we just don't have the time to wait around for "another Reagan" to pop up and save us.

To keep from losing America come the next election,we MUST vote for the candidate we get,even if it isn't the one we/you want.

AND......,the FACT that Trump can only serve ONE full term before  having to leave office means he won't start running for re-election the day he is sworn in,like almost all of them do.

It literally makes no difference to me @sneakypete . What the Dems want and what y'all want is the same damn thing to me.

You think your idea of big government is better than their idea of big government... It's not to me.
What I want is SMALL government.Cut the government by a quarter or a half, and balance the dang checkbook. That's good for starters.

Yeah, I don't love Reagan. I love people I know. But I respect him very much. Not for what he said... For what he did. Which ain't what Tumpy's doing, even though he steals from Reagan. Not by a long shot.

And no. There is no 'we'. YOU (y'all) split them sheets. I am under no obligation to vote for your clown or pay for his circus. You broke it, YOU bought it... Not me. I will not vote for your big liberal government. EVER.

New bodycam footage shows Okaloosa County, FL Deputy Jesse Hernandez declaring "shots fired!" and "I'm hit!" and shooting at the handcuffed, unarmed suspect inside of his police car.

He had not been shot, rather, it was determined that he heard an acorn drop onto the car. ...

Sgt Beth Roberts responded quickly to Deputy Hernandez erroneously calling "shots fired" in response to an acorn dropping from a tree.

"Where? Right there?" Roberts asked before also firing at the handcuffed, unarmed man in their car.

Luckily, both cops missed every shot.  ...

Both deputies have been fired.

Wouldn't you hate to be a guy handcuffed and tossed into the back of a cruiser for spittin' on the sidewalk or some such thing, and have the cop blast you full of holes because he mistook an acorn for a barrage of bullets?

Still it has to happen. The only other option is to continue to subsidize criminals until all the major cities are hollowed clean out like Detroit.

Yeah, the BLM riots were a replay of the 1960s, with only lies for justification.
The old,mostly healed wounds of racial strife were gouged open by CRT and tons of propaganda as a preparatory bombardment, salted, infected, and left to fester, with lots of stick poking using reparations as a money motive (because who doesn't want 'free' money?).

ANTIFA, because these communists aren't against the war. They cant really work the Muslims into their paradigm, because the Muslims would just as soon behead them or throw them off the nearest tall building.

Media attack on Trump, like on Nixon, who did bring our troops home, as promised. Whatever you may say about Trump, he wasn't really feeding the MIC like a Democrat or GOPe'er, and that just would not do.

(It was the Congress that cut off funding that could have had the South Vietnamese bombing massed concentrations of NVA troops and taking out armored columns, if they'd had the money for fuel and munitions.) It was the Media spin on Tet that lost the war, because EVERY provincial capital that was attacked was held or retaken--which was a massive military defeat of the North, only mis-portrayed somehow as a defeat of the South and US forces by the talking heads, foremost of which was Walter Cronkite. The VC were practically eliminated.

@Smokin Joe

That was still happening,but Congress didn't know anything  about it. There WERE USSF troops on the ground in Cambodia,Laos,and North Vietnam (USN Seal teams on the coast) inserting and picking up SVN/NVA agents. Away from the coast,it was the USSF being inserted into Cambodia,Laos,and even NVN using small teams of 6 to Platoons to ambush NVA convoys,snatch prisoners,pull off ambush  hits on  NVA  moving south along the Ho Chi Mihn Trail,and pretty much  anything else you can think of.

It was never publicized,but the Soviets also had Spetnaz teams being inserted into some of the same areas to try to capture/kill the USSF teams.

I have no idea if it is true or not,but I HEARD via "rumor control" that a whole recon team from CCN got aboard the wrong helicopter after calling for an extraction,and were nevezr heard from again. The fact that we were all suddenly told to make sure we recognized the markings on any  helicopter that landed to pick us up,and to take appropriate action if we didn't recognize the door gunner. The pilots were hard  to  recognize due to being  so far away from the doors and because they were wearing helmets.

Yup! I am not so  sure about VC activity,but  the NVA took a long  time to recover from the hits they took.

The North Vietnamese lost a LOT of VC cadre due to exposing  themselves during Tet. The ones that didn't get killed from exposing  themselves due to  leading attacks had to either flee to NVN,or face being tracked down and executed.

The famous photo of the SVN officer shooting a VC in the head in the streets of Saigon are proof of this. The media tried to make this out to be a murder,but  the man shot was a NVN officer working  in plan clothes in SVN,and partially responsible for the attacks in Saigon.
