Isn’t It Enough Yet?

Okay, so when is it enough?  Will it ever be enough?

I'm talking about the riots and the violence supposedly connected to a death in Minneapolis.  As you know, a black man died in police custody.  The policeman involved had previously been in trouble for alleged brutality.  Democrat Amy Klobuchar let him off on that earlier charge.  Now she's a senator and was a potential VP nominee for Biden.  The police in Minneapolis have been controlled by Democrat Mayors seemingly forever.  One has to wonder why these Democrats didn't manage to do anything to prevent this death due to alleged brutality.  The governor of Minnesota has been a Democrat for many years as well.  Why didn't these Democrat governors do anything to prevent the alleged police brutality.  The single most important piece of legislation that was passed in modern times that let police lock up blacks with relative ease was Bill Clinton's Crime bill in the 1990s.  It was pushed through the Senate by its principal sponsor, Joe Biden.  So why is there no blame on all these Democrats for what happened?  Why do all these Democrats now pretend to be so horrified by "police brutality".  Why do they play along with Black Lives Matter as if they have always been such great supporters?

And then there are the riots.  Democrat mayors in NYC, Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago and many other places did nothing to stop looting, vandalism and destruction.  Many high end stores in major cities got hit.  So did many small businesses.  The most common victims of all, though, were small businesses in minority neighborhoods.  People who supply the needs of the minority community saw their businesses wiped out .  The looters, rioters and thugs just destroyed these neighborhoods while the mayors and governors did nothing to stop it.  Shouldn't the mayors have tried to maintain some semblance of order?  Shouldn't the governors have tried to keep things calm.  You don't stop looting by withdrawing the police and letting it go on unopposed.  But these Democrat mayors and governors actually think that to oppose Antifa or other criminal looters would not show sufficient compassion for their upset at the death in Minnesota.  That's nonsense.

Imagine for a moment what would happen if there were a woman raped by a black man in a town in Minnesota and her friends and neighbors caught the guy and beat him to death.  They would be acting in their righteous anger.  Would the mayor and governor do nothing because they wanted to show compassion for the upset of these people over the rape?  I hope not.  In fact, I'm sure not.

America and the American people cannot kowtow to the merchants of race hatred.  It doesn't matter if those involved are white supremacists or black lives matter or scum like Al Sharpton.  And those who a fighting to virtue signal by kneeling or shaving their heads or whatever other nonsense is being pushed at the moment should come to their senses.

Let me put it this way.  Crazy ideas like defunding the police force (as the mayor in Seattle and some other cities are pushing) cannot be allowed to be seriously considered.  Crime is bad enough already.  The Dems have pushed to release criminals cause of COVID19.  They have pushed through laws like the one in New York that requires no bail after most criminal arrests.  They are attempting to disarm the general citizenry.  The Dems seem to want to leave ordinary citizens with little police protection and no means of self defense.

Look, maybe I'm misreading America.  Maybe there really is a majority who want to kowtow to criminals, kneel to leftists, censor free speech, abrogate basic constitutional rights and surrender to the grinding poverty and police state tactics that the left/Dems clearly want.  I doubt it though.  My guess is that most Americans want order with freedom.  Most Americans want equality o f opportunity with people succeeding due to hard work and, perhaps, a little luck.  America should be a meritocracy where ones skills matter for ones success.  It should never become a land where people can just refuse to work and expect that the rest of us will support them.  Crime like looting and vandalism should never be rewarded, no matter what the cause.

We'll see soon enough if the phony Dems who are the most racist among us will succeed or if truth and order and the Constitution will prevail.  I THINK AMERICA HAS HAD ENOUGH.  HOW ABOUT YOU?
