Intimidation, assaults, arson, mayhem
“…when the looting starts, the shooting starts…”
That was a sensible observation by our President…not a threat!
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS STANDS IN THE GAP OF LOST CIVILITY
James Madison once opined: “Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.” Who could have imagined that these words would ring so prescient, regarding life in 21st Century America? When we consider an elderly man pushed to the ground, a woman surrounded and threatened while innocently dining out, and a senator almost mauled by an angry mob, do we recognize the signs of a civilized society rapidly vanishing before our very eyes?
“Increasingly, average citizens dining out are bullied and browbeaten unless they cower to the demands of the Marxists. The Daily Mail reported an “Aggressive mob of white BLM protesters threaten and filmed white diners at D.C. restaurants and DEMAND they raise their fist and show solidarity with them…. or else,” since “white silence is violence.”
“All this and much, much more as mobs of mostly white BLM Marxists freely roam the streets of American cities, intimidating, threatening, and violating those who they “think” do not share their views. These increasingly frequent tactics of forced subjugation are best accomplished with a lesser police presence – and that may be precisely why these American jihadists are pushing government authorities to defund law enforcement when we need it most. This holy war, supposedly in the name of racial equality, is being waged with the devotion of religious zealots.”

If you live in a small or medium size mid-western city (maybe you know of one), it’s likely you’ve not yet experienced what some have, as described above.
So, you may feel free to wonder, and criticize, how recent events in Kenosha, WI, could have descended into “vigilanteism” in which two fellow Americans were “gunned down” because they were exercising their Constitutional rights and protesting “rampant systemic racism” in our country.
You may even feel, in your heart, very virtuous…you’re not racist! You believe that, in America, people have a right to protest when they see injustice. You believe that ‘that 17 year old self-righteous kid who brought a gun to a ‘generally peaceful protest’ and, in his racist fury shot and killed two people and grievously wounded another’ should be punished ‘to the fullest extent of the law’.
You are free to hold that view…and it is probably based upon what you have read in your local newspaper or seen on your favorite TV news channel. We don’t feel, yet, that the full story is known or has been told. Until it is, we’re not going to vigorously promote either view.
But, should you happen to venture out some nice evening for a quiet dinner at your favorite restaurant to find that you are accosted at your table by a crowd of angry individuals who demand that you show your full support for their ’cause’.
And you learn that their ’cause’ aligns with your own thoughts, supposedly. Everything you heard on television or read in a newspaper, like the QC Times, is that many, or most, cops are racist, Black people are constantly harassed by law enforcement, most ‘white people’ ignore their plight, and blindly enjoy their own ‘privilege’.
Certainly, you are in favor of “social justice” and “peaceful protest”. And…you’d like to get back to your meal; so, if by ‘raising a fist’ to signal your support of the aims of Antifa and the “Black Lives Matter” movement, as these obviously angry people demand, you’re OK with that!
But wait! The couple at the next table apparently don’t agree with the aims of these people…and they refuse to ‘raise their fists’ in support.
Just maybe what happens next to those people would not seem to be all that compatible with the professed desire of the crowd who just called for ‘justice’ and ‘fairness’ and adherence to the ‘rights of others’.
But, you decide not to stay for there are other things you wish to attend to.
But as you step outside you see the hair salon across the street on fire and more angry people with signs and clothing that proclaim their defense of the same thing as the crowd in the restaurant who demanded your support for lofty ideals. They’re happily cheering and chanting slogans as the fire envelops the salon. Only a few yards away, another building, housing several businesses is ablaze, also cheered on by the ‘socially conscious’ folks you met only minutes ago in the restaurant.
Approaching the mayhem is an older gentleman wearing a red hat that apparently bears a slogan with which the crowd doesn’t seem to approve of. What happened to that soul needs not to be described here; it’s not something that happens in civilized societies.
It occurs to you that only minutes ago, you were all on the same side. These are the people who share your high ideals??…but, now you hear them chanting, between vulgar epithets, calling for the destruction of the property and lives of any who do not share “yours” and their “ideals”…you know, “freedom of expression”, “right to own private property”, that sort of thing. You also wonder, ‘where are the police’?
So, what do you do…virtuous one? dlh

The Oppressors
The tyranny of the mob has become a daily occurrence in our cities, towns, and even places of worship. This week in Philadelphia, a woman punched one of the lectors at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. The Roman Catholic ecclesiastical authority urged churchgoers to respect their “fellow brothers and sisters,” as Archbishop Nelson Perez described the incident as “a senseless act of aggression.”
An elderly man walking down the street in Washington, D.C. drew the ire of la mafia and was knocked to the ground because he “appeared” to be wearing pro-Trump flair. A man (now famously) driving a truck in Portland, Oregon, was yanked from his vehicle and viciously beaten unconscious. Then the mob turned on his female companion.
Increasingly, average citizens dining out are bullied and browbeaten unless they cower to the demands of the Marxists. The Daily Mail reported an “Aggressive mob of white BLM protesters threaten and filmed white diners at D.C. restaurants and DEMAND they raise their fist and show solidarity with them…. or else,” since “white silence is violence.”
The Tyranny Of The Mob
This seething throng is no respecter of persons. One’s station or race is of no consequence to its demand for total control. Civil rights activist Vernon Jones was accosted in the nation’s capital by Black Lives Matter activists screaming: “You’re an ‘F-ing’ disgrace.” Senator Rand Paul was jostled and terrorized after leaving the White House this week. Only a heavy police presence, said the shaken senator, was able to keep him and his wife from harm: “I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us – they would have gotten us to the ground, we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless,” Paul told Fox News.
All this and much, much more as mobs of mostly white BLM Marxists freely roam the streets of American cities, intimidating, threatening, and violating those who they “think” do not share their views. These increasingly frequent tactics of forced subjugation are best accomplished with a lesser police presence – and that may be precisely why these American jihadists are pushing government authorities to defund law enforcement when we need it most. This holy war, supposedly in the name of racial equality, is being waged with the devotion of religious zealots.
What we are witnessing in America today is not a movement; it is a crusade.
Have we come to the point where BLM bullies are so widespread and left unfettered by local authorities that they represent a “standing army,” as Madison wrote? Has the Fourth Estate become a slave to these BLM crusaders by omitting the rampant chaos and violence from its front pages and daily broadcasts? Further, has the leftist media endorsement of Black Lives Matter confined them to a kingdom of Marxist philosophy to which they must now pay homage?
Only one element of Madison’s astute prognostication remains – the Second Amendment. However, this constitutionally guaranteed right is under perpetual attack and threatened by high ranking Democrats who stand at the ready to remove it, posthaste.
How wretched is it that we must look to the right to bear arms as the only firewall remaining as Marxist crusaders carry out their imperious mission of forced obeisance upon our citizenry? Thus, should we be surprised that first-time buyers pack gun shops? Is it any wonder that armed vigilantes in Kenosha, WI, are hitting the streets ready to mow down the mob? These questions are not meant as threats; they merely represent the outcome of a cause and effect reality, which we are now witnessing. Americans are increasingly being boxed into a corner where no one wants to go because they refuse to pay adulation to the totalitarian tyranny of the mob.
The advent of COVID-19 forced Americans to shutter themselves in their homes in this bizarre and tragic year. Once the threat of this deadly virus disappears, would it not be woeful if the American populace were forced to stay locked inside because of this menacing Marxist philosophy that brooks no disagreement, no freedom, no liberty? In such a case, the mob rule thrust upon Americans will prove itself more oppressive than a virus from China. But Americans are a fiercely independent lot, and unless and until we have leaders brave enough to end this insidious and violent tyranny, many of them will be compelled to fend for themselves.
