The Ongoing Riots Prove Again the Dangers of Appeasement

The lessons better be learned soon.

The riots and protests that began in late May have been like wildfires of the sort currently blazing in California. Just as riots have lessened in intensity in some cities, in others they have flared up to new levels of destruction. In Kenosha Wisconsin, the arson has spread more widely, and fatal gun-battles have erupted between the “peaceful protestor” thugs and armed citizens defending their lives and property.

Also like the wildfires, the continuing violence is the consequence of unforced errors made by civic leaders in thrall to dubious ideologies. California is burning because of government environmental policies that encourage mismanagement such as not thinning its huge tracts of forest, resulting in lethal loads of dead and dying trees that provide abundant the fuel for the fires.

In the cities most afflicted with violent protests, mayors who embrace the progressive demonization of law enforcement and the racial melodrama about “systemic racism” have not acted quickly and vigorously enough to stop the violence before it escalated. Police have been ordered to stand down, restricted in their tactics and weapons, and left on their own without moral and material support from their civic bosses.

The ancient lesson has once again been proven: Failure to act preemptively and forcefully to violent disorder, and the appeasement of aggressors with concessions, lead to ever escalating levels of violence and mayhem.

Think back to Harvard professor James Q. Wilson's "broken window theory" that later worked so well for Rudy Giuliani in New York in the 1990's.

Seattle = big broken window
Portland = big broken window
Milwaukee = big broken window
Chicago = VERY big broken window

And now, we're seeing...
Kenosha = smaller, but significant broken window.

Significant... because if it can happen in Kenosha, it can start happening in A LOT OF other places.

What's going on... is starting to become widespread.

But... what IS it that is really going on?
Sometimes, a pic is worth more than words.
Here's a one minute video that explains it:

So... be careful when you say, "let them burn down their own democrat-communist cities".
Because for everyone that burns, this is an indication that "the base" of the communist insurgency is growing, reaching out for more.

How long can we let that continue, before they gain too much strength, that the government may be unwilling or UNABLE to overcome...?
