This is why we riot

    would be interesting to see the idiot's response if her own property was destroyed.

    If the cops won't defend private property then our system just failed catastrophically.

    There is no private property. The End.

    Personally I did not foresee that a flu and a dead schvartza would be sufficient to destroy America. The pentagon has been saying for years that it would not take much. I guess I underestimated the desire of a big chunk of the population for self-immolation.

    The Founders were right. We aren't up to the task of caring for, maintaining and nurturing the gift they left us. Welcome to the New Dark Ages.

    So, how does this play out?

    One version might resemble this. Probably a business owner or home owner will smoke a respectably large group of looters/fascists. When police fail to respond (as we all know they will) it will become clear to both "sides" that law enforcement is now non-existent in the practical sense. There aren't going to come when you call them.

    Looting then will become organized, systemic and the looters armed. We are already seeing some organized work.

    There is a name for this state of affairs. It doesn't end in a big shooting war. It ends with starvation for those not killed during the looting. The slightest disruption of our just-in-time food supply chain will kill about half of us. No invading troops or pesky nuclear weapons necessary. We handed it over to them willingly.

    Not to worry sheriff, shortly the business owners and home owners will form a militia to uphold the curfew if the violence and rioting continues.

    Law Enforcement failed the United States when she needed them. I don't know if I will ever be able to regard them with respect again.

    I'm not sure people understand how close to the edge we are right now.

    Once every thug in America realizes he or she can loot freely with no consequences its not going to be possible to put the toothpaste back into the tube.

    I assumed that there must be some good cops. But I don't see any good cops resigning over being ordered to allow the cities to be destroyed. So much for honor. So much for "Protect and Serve".

    From the FBI to your local Sheriff the entire LE "community" in America has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted. Businesses cannot trust that their property will be secure. Homeowners cannot trust that their property or their lives will be protected. Western Civilization is built on property rights.

    Personally I would rather engage in civil war than passively let looters destroy my country.

    Its going to be rough for cops now. They will be attacked by the looters but soon they will be attacked by regular citizenry as well. They have no allies now. The entire country will be against them and the leadership who ordered them to allow this.

    The Federal government will have to take over many cities under consent decree to stop this. I hope to see DeBlasio hanging by his feet from a petrol station sign.
