So the businesses in Downtown Chicago are preparing for more “Peaceful” protests this weekend.

Yep, construction crews are boarding up all the storefront windows in most of downtown. 3/4 inch plywood and lots of 2×4’s to make sure those “Peaceful” protesters don’t accidentally break those plate glass display windows and stumble inside to be tempted by all that unguarded merchandise that might fall into their possession. Those damned greedy Irish folks….

This is what liberal governors have wrought. Businesses cannot depend on the police for protection. The South Side residents cannot be depended upon to behave in a civilized manner. “Rage!” is the order of the day, with emboldened savages expected to once again ravage the downtown areas looking for :Reparations” for the plight of their won culture and behavior. 

I fully expect that the next step is armed security, or, failing that, those businesses will simply relocate elsewhere. 

The late Mayor Dailey is said to have told his officers to “shoot anyone looting” in his day, during the late 60’s. Perhaps he had the right idea. It did keep the looting to a minimum, didn’t it? 

 Is a lying whore of an attorney. The worst kind of rabble rouser that can be. 

He should be ashamed of himself. 

” If yer gonna do day drinking, best to start early…No sense in burning daylight”

 So, since Kyle Rittenhouse is 17 years old (and threfore a minor) How is it that we all ahve heard his name? 

The media generally doesn’t give out the names of minors, no matter what the crime they are accused of. 

Yet in this instance, the media has chosen to spread his name far and wide. 

Must be part of those Double Standards that we have these days….wherein RightSpeak flourishes. 

 I mean, sending people with Covid-19 (or, for that matter, any disease that can be deadly to elderly people) to nursing homes….and when those facilities balked, ORDERING them to accept those patients is tantamount to murder, really. 

Every death in one of those nursing homes from Covid should be another charge of murder. 

  Put into perspective

You have a much greater chance of dying from a lot of other causes. Lots greater. 

Unless, of course, you are a Liberal and reject the “science” for Feelz.

 Kenny’s term, not mine. But it fits.

He has some articles with interesting videos. (warning, graphic video of a dude with a gunshot wound to his bicep). 

Seems a couple of friends of the business owner decided to keep his business from being looted and torched (again) and this led to some kinetic interactions with the looters protesters. (watch the second link)

(a side note, dude in the video with the AR helping the gunshot guy is lucky the cops didn’t ventilate his ass). 

There’s gonna be more of this, as people in free states are gonna use the tools at their disposal to protect that property which they have worked hard for. It hasn’t happened elsewhere ’cause those folks are limited as to what weapons they have (and can use) to defend their property and livelihoods. But now that they rioters have moved into a free-ish state like Wisconsin, where lots of people are able to arm themselves (and are willing to use force to defend what they have) things are gonna get serious….and they have. (in other words: This ain’t Portland, boys and girls….these people fight back, and your ass might just get shot)

 It seems that the 3 mile Border Wall that was built on private land in McAllen Texas pissed some folks in Hidalgo County off. 

The Hidalgo County Appraisal District sent a letter to the landowner, sugar cane farmer Lance Neuhaus, of Neuhaus & Sons, advising him that his property south of Mission, Texas, has been valued at millions more than the previous year because of the private border wall structure.

I expected that the Liberals would find a way to get back at him. 

One might argue that the 3 mile border wall adds no more value than any other fence, and therefore the valuation is bogus….and that the change from Agricultural to Commercial is capricious. 

 And neither do any of you, or likely any of the folks protesting in Kenosha.

We do know the dude shot by the cops in Kenosha had a warrant, that he had a record, that he had a conviction on weapons charges, that he disobeyed a police order, Tazed before walking away from the cops, that he ignored their orders to stop and that he was reaching into his car for something. 

The folks protesting don’t want “justice”. they want a lynching. Instant “justice”….

They don’t care what really happened, they don’t care about anything except that a man with an African ancestry was killed by a police officer. 

And they are trashing another city because of it. 

I don’t know the circumstances surrounding this shooting. Nor do you. I have questions, and I can’t make the call if it was a god shoot or not. I’m not prepared to condemn the officer, nor am I prepared to exonerate him either. A 30 second video is not enough data to make the call. 

But then again, I’m not African American, nor am I likely to act in a Mob. I’m more deliberate than that. 

We should give ’em a sample…Just a taste, as it were…

So in the inner cities (or any community that wants it, for that matter), if the folks in a neighborhood or community can demonstrate a majority of people inhabiting their area really wish to have no police presence (just to be sure that most people really want that), (and this election is a great time for that sort of referendum, innit?) the governing bodies (city or county, or for that matter, state) should grant them that wish. 

But first, they should give their citizens a taste of what they think they want…

Along about the middle of, say, October, the governing body should choose a Friday night, say 8 PM, to Sunday morning, say 8 AM, and declare a “Police holiday”…no police response to those areas that currently wish to “Defund the Police”…Any crimes committed in those places will not be responded to by the police. Further, there will be no investigations then or later, of any crimes committed during the “Holiday”. Let the people get a sample of what “No Police!” really looks like. 

No one to call when someone is breaking into your house. Up to you to make sure your property remains in you possession. No one to call when your wife or sister or girlfriend is raped….or worse…..you’d better escort them everywhere. No one to call when your car is stolen….. or someone wants your wallet and jewelry. Better keep those locked up or well hidden. Better be able to defend all of your possessions or have them locked up so no one can steal ’em from your home.  

And, of course, no one to haul off the bodies when all sorts of grudges are suddenly able to be dealt with…Payback is a bitch when the cops are not there to arrest folks who might want revenge for wrongs you might have done…especially when they have no fear of consequences from the police or the Law. I’d expect a lot of issues to be dealt with once the rule of law stops protecting criminals from righteously outraged citizens…….Maybe there had better be designated places for corpses to be stacked for disposal….

Oh, and fire and ambulance services? In most places, especially in those areas that want to “Defund the Police”, most ambulances and fire departments require a police presence when responding, so they might not show up when you call. You might be well advised to get a decent trauma kit and some fire extinguishers too. Probably better make sure your garden hoses work so you can fight random arson as well. 

I’m thinking 36 hours should be enough to help those folks make their decisions as to whether the police need to be “Defunded”. Might be it is actually too long. maybe only from 8 PM on Saturday to 8 AM on Sunday might be enough time. I think lots of action might happen in 12 hours. 

We’d have to schedule it, so that decent folks there can secure their belongings and give ’em time to figure out where they can relocate to, or hire armed security of their own to defend that which they think they value, but the logistics can be fairly straightforward with a bit of thought….

I’m thinking it will change a lot of attitudes. Probably would be good for the cops as well….a bit of time off, and a bit of respect afterwards. Probably some beatings for those who continue to insist on defunding the police afterwards too, I would imagine. But it would let people have a small taste of what they think they want. 

I think it would be an excellent lesson for the rest of us too.
