pipedreams Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 "In the United States, mob vandalism began in 2017 with a statue of an unnamed Confederate soldier, escalating to Confederate officers and Gen. Robert E. Lee, who died a nationally recognized champion of peaceful American reconciliation. When critics, including President Donald Trump, worried the iconoclasm would continue to Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, they were mocked by left-wing reporters, columnists and hosts, from the once-respected New York Times to the poncy and excitable John Oliver. A society that believes in itself builds monuments, a sick society does not, and a dying society watches as they are torn down. While Roman kings, French monks, American Tories, and Russian tsarists were unable to defeat the revolutions that first tore down their symbols, today in the United States we are simply unwilling. Blood is already spilling, with civilian defenders, bystanders, workers, and rioters killed and seriously injured in cities all across the country. Without a committed and targeted crackdown on this disorder and its leaders, the committed and targeted killings of their opponents and critics will come next. The increasingly violent mobs in our streets are chanting for it, and the revolts of human history have come to it every time. You can be sure the ghost of King Mob will see it done. He always does." https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/23/everywhere-statues-are-torn-down-by-the-mob-history-promises-people-are-next/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 There are a WHOLE LOT of Americans who keep their heads down, go to work, and want to be left alone. It would be a good idea to NOT piss off this silent majority. Once they've had enough, ****'s gonna get REAL. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPQer Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) With regard to the "silent majority", they are the ones targeted for arrest. Notice who the cities and states went after, and who the federal government went after. When those cops were ambushed in Tampa Bay, if any of the "silent majority" had acted to assist, the cops would have ignored the leftist mob, and arrested them. It's easier to arrest someone in the "silent majority" because they won't be attacking and will comply. We've seen what happens when they try to arrest part of the mob. Cops will always take the easy way out, and unless members of the "silent majority" are wearing badges, it is still the "us against them" mentality. So all we can do is stand by and watch the mobs attack. Example: the shooter in NM who shot the Antifa guy with a knife. The serious charge was dropped because the video showed the Antifa had a knife. But did they arrest those members of Antifa who had the knife and skateboard and committed ADW? I don't think so. State and local government will continue to maintain their police departments so they can control the "silent majority". Even though the Minneapolis council voted to eliminate MPD, it still has to go to a vote of the people, and it won't pass. But those politicians get perfect cover for wanting to disband, but not being able to. It works out perfect for them. As for me, my time is almost done. I will be retiring soon. I didn't produce any offspring, so I don't have a dog in the fight. If the current generations want a Constitutional Republic, they are going to have to fight for it. But they have been indoctrinated by left wing academia to want socialism and communism. And if that is what they want, so be it. If they want socialism, they won't accept republicanism that is given or left to them. They'll resent it. They'll have to see the wrongs of socialism and fight for republicanism before they can appreciate it. All those years of our government officials and politicians calling the US a "democracy" is starting to bear fruit.
