"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

That behavior will continue until the cops are given the word to take off the gloves. But that won’t happen because the DAs won’t prosecute. It’s going to be a lot worse for a lot longer before The People are tired of the mayhem and remove the corrupt DAs who won’t follow the laws already on the books.

Frankly, they get what they deserve. And they should suffer for their stupidity for continuing to elect democrat DAs.

I've worried about that, especially during the summer of BLM. Our city council even stupidly approved a BLM mural on Main Street. Virtue signaling I suppose, but also inviting all the political divisiveness.

Our town is very white, very wealthy, and generally over age 50. From the outside we would seem like a good target if someone wanted to stick it to the man.

I continue to expect some form of widespread armed conflict, and I think it will start from non-government violence.

These guys are low-level celebs, with low-level 'fans'.
Like Travis Scott, these clowns say all sorts of things for attention, tell the crowds to tear down barricades or, start chanting F-the police...'cause you know, cred; then the chaos starts, again low-level fans.
People get hurt or worse then, the celeb is shocked, then a few out of court settlements. Roll Eyes

Perhaps people who disagree with you don't have our head in the sand, but realize that not everywhere is lost. I live in the 4th largest metropolitan area in the US and it's a great example that even a few miles can mean a 180 degree opposite government and law enforcement response:
  • Harris County contains the actual city of Houston, and is lawless with a woke Soros funded DA and corrupt, woke County judge (highest emergency management official in county). Houston city council and mayor are woke idiots as well. County and city officials would make space for the rioters and chastise people for calling it a riot or mob.
  • I do not live in Harris County and my county, Montgomery, arrests criminals and enforces the law. Criminals know this, and when they fuck up their geography by crossing that county line it's an Oh Shit moment as they're both arrested and prosecuted. Our County Judge is a law & order guy, and I'm confident would use his emergency management powers to disband the riot and the people kicking the car and dancing on it would be arrested. If sufficiently large, our Governor is a law & order guy and friends with our County Judge so additional law enforcement resources are only a phone call away. Last November, Republicans won our usual 72 to 80 percent of votes which is historically normal. I'm not losing any sleep over this shit coming to my neighborhood.

    Don't see it happening here in Las Vegas, either; the Casinos here would not allow it as it would affect their income/profit. I suspect they have SIGNIFICANT power/pull regarding the politicos here...

    If memory serves, though, I thought I saw on the news a couple of years ago where there were some BLM or ANTIFA idiots trying to start some riotous activity in Houston. HPD came down on them swiftly and harshly without prejudice. So who knows what orders Sylvester Turner is handing out these days...

    Portland behavior although Portland is way worse. Legal heroin, meth and that includes "small sales." The city is a filthy and dangerous. They have a "progressive DA" which means the DA is an active criminal defense lawyer assisting the criminal with his/her predicament having been caught. And it's going to get worse. The state legislature, with a supermajority of hard-core progressive democrats, with the guiding hand of the nutty governor are in the process of legalizing prostitution. Sodom and Gomorrah circa 2023. Wonder what idiotic idea the goofballs will come up with next?

    Good example of a few miles making a big difference. However, your city PD may arrest them, but will still have Kim Ogg's, Soros funded DA, office coddling the criminal. She's more likely to prosecute the police than the criminal. HPD's union President is routinely on the news railing on Ogg and her misguided office. My buddy is a Harris County Sheriff Deputy and says Sheriff's office is beyond frustrated with Ogg as well.

    That must've been old. My memory of the last one is Mayor Turner marched with them.

    In 2018, “justice reform” activists in New York State had one of their wishes granted when the state enacted a disastrous “Raise the Age” (RTA) law. Democrats did this over the loud objections of badly outnumbered Republicans and conservatives. What the law did over a period of two years was increase the age of criminal liability for all defendants to 18, eliminating the option of trying the most violent juvenile defendants as adults. The results were totally predictable and the expected chaos quickly developed. It’s gotten bad enough that even some Democratic District Attorneys including Albany DA David Soares have been calling on the Governor and the legislature to repeal or at least revise the law.

    With all of the crime in New York City these days, it can be easy to lose track of who is doing what. But various places around New York State are running into the same problem that Chicago has been facing, with roving gangs of teenagers running wild and engaging in violent crime. And thanks to the way the juvenile justice system works, these teenagers know that they will almost always be immediately put back out on the streets.

    The result, as noted above has been a series of teen offenders who have gone through the system as many as three times in a single year, with some of them murdering people after they are released. Just in Albany County (well outside of New York City), 12 out of 18 teenagers charged with violent crimes were rearrested after they went on to do even worse.

    This has produced what DA Soares describes as “a system of normalized violence without consequences.” The family courts are not set up to deal with violent teen repeat offenders. What they wind up doing is “releasing troubled kids with underdeveloped minds and Glocks” back into the community to wreak more mayhem.

    To his credit, Soares is trying to use some of the typical language of his own party against them, not that he’s seeing much support. He’s pointing out who the people are that are ultimately paying the price for these policies. A vast majority of the teens being shot and sometimes killed are not rich white kids from Manhattan. They are Black and Hispanic teenagers from some of the poorest neighborhoods. And much like so many other urban issues, the reason is that those neighborhoods are where you find the most gang activity. Some of the injuries are cases of gang members shooting each other, but a lot of innocent people wind up being caught in the crossfire.

    Rather than “helping children,” what RTA actually did was teach teenagers who were already on a path toward violent crime that they could do nearly anything they liked and face no consequences.

    Send them to Marine boot camp, except that if you graduate, you can't join the USMC, you get points the judge can use to lessen a sentence after a period of normal (human) behavior. For most of these guys, they are too far gone past the point of no return. Their brains and psyche are so full of shit and evil there's nothing to do except permanent separation or retirement from civil society.
