Not sure if this is where you got this but it’s a good read.

Last weekend's WSJ interview reminded me of posting it, but I've been brushing up on the progression from Marxist dogma to Russian anarchists and to Lenin's revolution and the global mess that's ensued from that.  Nobody draws a direct line from the failures in Russia to Hitler's rise. 

 

It's something that I've been increasingly worried about in the last 10 years, as the Euro anarchist movements started crossing over the pond.  Antifa's tactics in Seattle were the first sign of trouble for me, way back.

What an ableist. Promoting people who have two ARMS over those who may have lost one (or both), or been born without?

Well, fake news mostly.  This happened in 2012 and she was sentenced to 12 years on multiple counts of selling narcotics with the sentence being suspended after 5 years.  The school thing seems was just a throw in.  Now you can argue that the 12 year (5 years served) sentence was harsh and Trump has signed the first step act which addresses this sort of thing.

Truth is a funny thing isn't it?

I saw that. The Mayor stepped in and demanded the officer be terminated before any real investigation even began...

 

I guess the whole concept of the presumption of innocence has, in regard to the police, been replaced with the presumption of evil and racist intent....

 

I think Mayors will fire right away to try and prevent riots and more deaths. I would not want to be hit in the eye with a taser dart that might have spooked the officer. They have his ID and car , shooting causes more riots during these tense times.

I understand why the Mayor did it. However, those kinds of decisions, and certainly any decisions within the legal process should never be dictated by emotion and social pressure.

VIOLENT PROTESTS — THE BACKLASH IS COMING:

There are probably quite a few Americans outraged by the sights of statues of Christopher Columbus or other figures from history being beheaded or pulled down, or the defacing of statutes of abolitionists in the name of racial equality. 

 

Whatever you think of Christopher Columbus or any other historical figure, we have a legal and democratic process to remove statues from public squares when a sufficient portion of the public deems them no longer acceptable. These communities have zoning boards and local elected officials who can make those choices and be held accountable to the public through elections.

 

Nobody elected those angry mobs to a damn thing. This is rule by force, the strongest forcing their will upon those who are weaker than them. This will not end well for anyone.

 

There will be a backlash to these actions, but not in the form of the “white people’s riot” that In Living Color imagined. That backlash may come at the ballot box, or it may come in some other indirect form. Some people aren’t interested in direct confrontation in the streets. They may simply prefer to express their opposition in a way that these protesters expect it least — businesses moving out, reluctance to hire, reluctance to visit a neighborhood, effectively abandoning a community. Not every wall that is built is physical and visible. But one way or another, the reaction is coming.

It's no coincidence that all those "generals" leaving were at the sharp end of the "regime change" philosophy and permawar agenda. Gotta look deeper than the headlines on this ALF (only pointing this out because I know this is an issue you're passionate about, ending peramwar/regime change). 

 

Don't let the door hit 'em where the good Lord split 'em. ;) :beer:

How very Roman to set policy on the fickle nature of the mob.
