I know we are all tough guys

crack shots, rough men who don't back up, heavily armed with gun and knife. But in reality what do YOU do, what can YOU do, what are YOU willing to risk in a situation like the good people of Seattle find themselves in now?? Watch a few minutes of this new video. Ask yourself what do you do when your bike shop has been broken into three times in a few days and the police tell you that due to the policy they have been ordered to work under they can do nothing to help you. What if you daughter has a good job there. How can you protect her? I am a long ways from Seattle but if something isn't done, if these animals are allowed to continue with no consequences, it will spread and sooner or later we will all have to decide. I wish I had answers but for the time being all I have is questions.

    I avoid big cities like the plague they are. We all have God given rights to defend ourselves and ours. He should use that right.

    Bull.

    Big cities brought it upon themselves. They deserve it.

    They know how dangerous it is to live next to inner city slums but they want them there. Many city residents are just a little black and if they live next to inner city degree mill school districts, their kids can get into college easier and maybe even get a scholarship. They can also provide services to the recipients of federal money.

    There's other reasons, I suspect, but I am no expert. Perhaps they like that a little danger chases away the family types because it keeps the city for bachelors and bachelorettes.

    Believe big city liberals are, despite the rhetoric.


    I can't think of what their entire angle might be besides the affirmative action thing, but I can't not believe that big cities aren't milking this issue for advantage somehow.


    Seattle may have led the country in raising the minimum wage because they wanted only the more responsible people from the inner city to remain. The idea may have been that good folk would come running and would squeeze the criminal element out.


    Maybe they think there's enough cameras out there that if they show a weak face to the rioting, the more criminally prone members of the inner city will soon find themselves in jail or unable to afford a city where the basic workers get $15.


    I am not talking about blacks per se because these people know and work with blacks and realize there's a criminal element then there's those who work hard and do a swell job. And of course, the people Rittenhouse may have tricked into chasing him were white, yet there they were, setting fires and attacking people with skateboards. This type may be what liberal pols want to create when they make college money too easy. Degreed, menially employed, disgruntled, overqualified, should have gone into a vocational program. OK, maybe not the jailbird pedo. He wasn't like that.

    Watching it now. This is why I won't live anywhere near large cities. They all are going to hell. Minneapolis is well on its way, Des Moines is next.

    There's an issue besides what you may assume.


    It's not that liberals are denying there's an issue with crime and cracking down.


    They feel guilty because complicit.


    They also feel they don't fully deserve everything they have either, because they channeled too much public resources into creating the appearance of a large, oppressed pool of qualified minorities, which robbed other people of educations and police and social services and created a large pool of disgruntled people who think they're qualified. So if they treat people unmercifully, maybe it will come back at them karmically.


    Some of them could probably write you a textbook on why 40% of the graduates in some inner city high schools are functionally illiterate, but as long as they create large masses of people who think they are being oppressed, the pressure will stay high for colleges to admit and grant scholarships to large proportions of minorities. The pressure will stay high for firms to hire the graduates.
