Ronsday – Riots
Ron on riots and the rioters.
Political anarchists and paid agitprops are merrily dismantling the republic which gives them the freedom to go feral and the means to go mau-mau. Many ordinary citizens who have sympathized with blacks for the hardships (many of their own making) they’ve had to endure for what-must-seem-like ever.
But the rage, the energy, the demand for justice we see every time a black man puts himself in a position to be arrested, resists that arrest, and unfortunately dies – for whatever reason – at the hands of a non-black man is more often built on a flimsy foundation of lies, misunderstanding, myth, and hype.
Eric Garner – petty crook, all-around boil on the butt of society – died resisting arrest. Nobody seems to remember that he was grossly obese, emphysemiac, and in terrible physical condition. He shouldn’t have died simply from being subdued by police, some of which were also black, but he put himself in the position to begin with.
Trayvon Martin – thuglette in on-the-job training, thief, burglar, trespasser – died while resisting arrest by a non-white self-appointed cop. He was a troublemaker in the making and shouldn’t have died . . . but he SHOULD have been banished from any orderly and educated society.
Michael Brown – future kneebreaker for the Black Panthers – died while challenging a police officer who tried to detain him after a report that he had stolen merchandise from a bodega. Shouldn’t have died, but he was resisting arrest and tried to take the cop’s gun. He was his own executioner.
George Floyd – on some kind of narcotic, “acting weird,” and offered resistance to police officers arresting him for passing bogus money. Died from a combination of congenital respiratory problems complicated by drugs. The cop kept his knee on Floyd’s neck too long, but according to the coroner did NOT CAUSE the death, merely contributed to it by exacerbating a previously existing condition.
But no one wants to hear any of that. What they want is either looting, excitement, or dismantling of all law enforcement in the entire country. Mayors and governors who tell their law-enforcement organizations to “stand back” or “give them room” or “let them get it out of their system” are as responsible for the costs to business and government as the rioters themselves.
And much of what is going on dovetails neatly with the Democrats’ agenda – Get Rid Of Trump Whatever The Cost!! — if PotUS doesn’t do something about the riots, the follow-on beatings and killings, the torching of hundreds of police cars nationwide and businesses in major cities (often owned by black people), he’ll be excoriated for failure to protect society; if he DOES take decisive action, no matter what it turns out to be, he’ll be called “RACIST!”
People who burn city vehicles, loot businesses, destroy property, attack people, MUST be made to see that such behavior is not tolerated. And they need to get it through their heads that although the leftist media will gleefully encourage their behavior and call them righteous “protestors,” they are in fact simply domestic terrorists whose actions signal that they’ve forfeited their right to live in an orderly society.
And they’re not doing the black segment of the US population (roughly 13.5%) any good; they’re in essence creating more racist attitudes in whites and other non-blacks who might previously have sympathized with them for their plight. Most black murder victims are most definitely not killed by white people, and certainly not white cops – 93% of them are killed by other blacks. In fact, black people, less than 14% of the population, commit over 50% of the murders in this country.
I’ve been around a long time, seen a lotta things, spent over a quarter of my life in classrooms of one sort or another, acquired advanced degrees, raised children, and earned privileges and entitlements along with other benefits and rights. But I just can’t see any logic in getting people to support your cause by burning police cars and looting Wal-Marts. Makes about as much sense as kicking your neighbor’s watchdog because you didn’t get the promotion you wanted at work.
“Hands-Up/Don’t-Shoot” was a total hype based on an exaggeration, a false narrative, a friggin myth. And the members of the US Congress who publicly joined in the demonstrations should have been fired for doing so.
Yes, George Floyd shouldn’t have died. But Clinton shouldn’t have lied, and Soetoro shouldn’t have said if he’d had a son he’d look like Trayvon, and AntiFa most definitely IS a terrorist organization which needs to be stamped out like an infestation of fire ants in your back yard.
We all get disappointed in things from time to time, angry even, maybe vengeful . . . but we tend to get over it when we realize that destruction of property is a crime, looting is a crime, and going Mau-Mau can get your ass killed, so we bite our tongues, take a deep breath, kick a doorframe, and get on with life.
If blacks think that a death triggered by a cop during an arrest in a guy with a congenital defect is bad, wait ‘til we go into a REAL lockdown – martial law. And that’s what they’re sucking around for, whether they realize it or not.
The real solution here is to kick all the professional career politicians out of offices, wherever they’re found, and for the black community to come up with a few leaders of its own to inject some reality and common sense into feral school dropouts and welfare junkies.
NOBODY has had a rougher time in the past 100 years than Japanese Americans during the 40s. But when was the last time we saw a riot with Japanese, or Koreans, or Filipinos, or Chinese, or even Mexicans? Puerto Ricans, yeah . . . every so often; Cubans, yeah . . . a time or two. But blacks? Every time somebody needs a new flat screen or thinks burning a police cruiser will make his life better.
