Jesus Jenny, for the life of me I cannot figure out what is going on with our country. We're experiencing rioting (not just protesting) from Seattle to NYC to Florida. We're seeing huge spikes in shootings, murders, assaults, rapes, etc. Seattle's "Summer of Love" has left several males dead and more injured. Chicago, NYC and other cities are experiencing major increases in their homocides. Statues that represent the history of our country are being torn down and nobody gets arrested for the vandalism.
I'd hate to think this was some kind of pre-planned by the majority party mayors in the majority of our nation's largest cities. That these rioters have been allowed to continue unabated for a month now is amazing. I find no sane rhyme or reason behind it.
And at the same time all this crappola is going on around the country there are increased calls for defunding or eliminating the police departments in all of these same cities. When the sh!t hits the fan and you call 9-1-1, who's going to come, Ghostbusters? Don't these idiots have any idea that if this stuff is going on now, what's going to happen without police officers to protect them? Older, more experienced officers in many cities are already taking early retirement. Is that what we want? A police department that consists of young kids that are the new kids on the block and the more experienced officers who are not eligible to retire hiding from "hot" calls for fear they might get into a hazardous situation and (gasp!) have to draw their weapon?
I don't see any of this headed on a good direction. Looking down the road a bit I see armed groups fighting against other armed groups and that scares the bejesus out of me.
What say you?
