With no one in authority keeping order — and so many in our professional class encouraging violence — American citizens are now forced to defend themselves.
It’s possible that more people will be hurt in coming days.
But in an environment like this, more violence could very well lead to a cascade of new tragedies — to something far bigger and more destructive than anything we’ve seen so far.
The chaos, the destruction, the relentless lying from above — it’s all too much.
We must protect ourselves and our families.
Almost all of them pretend this isn’t really happening — or if it is happening, it’s just part of America’s long tradition of vigorous political discourse.
The people burning our country down are “protesters,” engaged in legitimate “protest.”?
Violence and looting aren’t forms of political expression.
If you were killed tomorrow, how many buildings would you want burned to the ground in your memory.
You’re not a vicious psychopath like the people you just watched.
That system is how we resolve our differences without violence.
But these people want a new system, one governed by force: Do what we say, or we’ll hurt you.
But our leaders keep lying and telling us it’s not happening.
Colin Kapernick openly calls for violence.
Imagine shouting fire in a crowded theater — a theater with 325 million people in it.
When the violence began, what we needed more than anything was clarity.
Like the rest of us caused this by our sinfulness.
No one jumped in more forcefully, or seemed angrier at America, than former South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley didn’t answer them.
What Nikki Haley does best is moral blackmail.
During the 2016 campaign, she compared Donald Trump to the racist mass murderer Dylan Roof.
How is Donald Trump similar to a serial killer.
Nikki Haley never explained.
Nikki Haley is exceptionally good at getting what she wants.
She just did.
Let’s hope Nikki Haley is pleased.
That tape raised a troubling question: If you can’t keep a Fox News correspondent from getting attacked directly across from your house, how can you protect my family.
How are you going to protect the country.
On Twitter the next morning, the president reassured America that he and his family were just fine.
For people who voted for Donald Trump, who support his policies, who have defended him for years against the most absurd kinds of slander, this was a distressing moment.
That’s what soldiers want from their officers.
All of that will be forgiven if you protect your people.
But if you don’t protect them — or, worse, if you seem like you can’t be bothered to protect them — then you’re done.
What Americans want most is an end to this chaos.
They want their cities to be saved.
They want this to stop immediately.
Donald Trump is the president.
In 2016, Donald Trump ran as a law and order candidate.
This is reckless, but it’s happening.
Several times over the past few days, the president has signaled that he’d like to crack down on rioters.
Kushner’s assumption, apparently, is that African-Americans voters like looting.
Yesterday, for example, Mayor Jenny Durkin of Seattle tweeted this, and we’re quoting: “I want to acknowledge that much of the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country, has been instigated and perpetuated by white men,” quote.
Yet everywhere on television and social media, prominent people are now talking like this.
Not just a few crackpots — thousands of people.
We mean actual extremism, where people espouse violence against other people and come to believe their racial identity is the most important thing about them.
Most people just think of themselves as Americans.
But if the left keeps talking like this, there definitely will be, and soon.
You don’t want to live here when that happens.
It’s equality, equality under the law.
