Our history is being destroyed and it seems there's very little we can do to stem the tide.

I wonder - with increasing frequency - if this is how some Romans felt when it became obvious that the empire was falling apart around them.

“When I first heard #defundthepolice, I have to admit my first reaction was fear. My whole life, police have made me feel safe. But that’s exactly the center of my white privilege: the police make me as a white woman feel safe, while my black friends, family and neighbors feel the opposite: police make them feel terror. And for good reason. Police are the 6th leading cause of death for black men in this country.

These are not isolated incidents. They are patterns and part of the system of over-policing of black Americans. Reforms have not worked. Minneapolis, where George Floyd was murdered, is one of the most progressive police forces in the country, having undergone extensive anti-bias training. I am grateful to the leaders in the @mvmnt4blklives who have made us question the status quo. And who have made us imagine, what a world could be like in which we invested in nourishing people; (in their education, healthcare, environment, shelter)— rather than putting all of our money into punishment.

I’ve gotten to the age in my life, where if my gut feels uncomfortable, I take the situation as wrong. But this concept initially made me uncomfortable because I was wrong. Because the system that makes me feel comfortable is wrong. #defendblacklives#defundthepolice

This is from actress Natalie Portman:



It was her PRIVILEGE that made her feel safe!?!?

“Police are the 6th leading cause of death for black men in this country.”  Really, all 9 unarmed blacks that died at the hands of police last year? What did the 7th leading cause of death kill, 6 people?  And what was that?  Paper cuts?

FFS, these people are stupid and brainwashed and have no basis in reality!

You have open insurrection right now and the President is sitting on his hands on this issue. In 1992, President Bush sent in Federal Military Forces to Los Angeles for a riot, in one town. And here, right now, you have open rioting across the nation and for political reasons, the President is a lame duck.


Could he be doing it in the belief that it actually helps his campaign and it is strengthening is? Yes. He very well could be do that because he believes it will swing Middle of the Road Fence Sitting Americans to his side.


But it also could be because he doesn't have the political gumption and support to do it. Look at the current Secretary of Defense and what he said last week. That literally took the wind out of the President's sails. You have open rebellion within his Party, all while the Left is openly supporting the rebellion going on in our streets.


These knuckleheads in Seattle have backing from members in City Hall and you are seeing a literal coup in progress.


Many on our side have this idea that another Civil War will be organized with battle lines, held territory, uniformed combatants, etc.... it won't be. It will be a quagmire of indiscriminate violence. It will be night abductions, drive by shootings, random bombings via IEDs, arson attacks, midnight raids into someone's home, random political assassinations, etc.... it will be like the events in Latin America. Mexico is a great example.


As for the idea that our side is full of tough and rough people while the Left is nothing but weak soy boys. Well, they're wrong on that too. Plenty of Military Vets are full on Leftist. Look at a number of political candidates across the country running as Democrats with military service records. Look at folks like Stan Goff. Dude was in the service from Vietnam to the mid 90s. Was a Green Beret and Delta. He is a outright Anti War Marxist Writer now. He's not alone. He's just the vocal one. We've had 2.7 million service members been to the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, and over half of them have deployed more than once. You're telling me that none of them aren't Leftist?


As for the street urchins right now. They're armed, they have kit, that have communications, and more importantly, they have political support and political capital. Our side doesn't have that.

Especially when he's using a restraint technique that is taught to police and usually imparts no lasting injury.

The only point to assail Chauvin on is not recognizing that Floyd was in need of a rescue. It seems that someone made that recognition and summoned medical assistance, but Chauvin continued the restraint.

I see a weak negligence case, at best. You can't even get manslaughter, because Chauvin's actions did not result in Floyd's death.

JUST WAIT until the country has to face the fact that Chauvin isn't their public sacrifice. THAT will be interesting.
