thoughts on the recent rise in violent crime

Posted by David Hardy · 20 June 2021 12:36 PM

Right here. I have my own theory. There are points in time when the psychopaths try to take over, when psychopathy and disordered anarchy become fashionable in the mass media. The 60s were like that. Riots, burning of inner cities, "police brutality." Even the popular songs.... "Grandpa stole whatever he could," "and every lock what ain't locked when no one's around." Convention seen as hypocrisy. What did we get, a huge rise in violent crime that lasted until the 1990s.

We seem to be heading there again. BLM, antifa (which can't figure out if it's communist or anarchist, but in reality are people acting out the anarchy in their hearts), "mostly nonviolent" riots and arson becoming fashionable. Some cities responding by giving over control to the rioters, some by disarming or arresting those who try to defend against it.

...I moved to Idaho almost 3 years ago from California. From a corrupt State to an honest one. In many ways it is as if I turned my watch back 60 years. Almost no crime, civility and courtesy are the norm. Freedom abounds.
...It's entertaining to watch the Demwit cities self destruct and underlines the founders belief that our system of rule is only fit for an ethical and informed public. Those kind of folks are in the minority in California. Circumspice.
...One side or the other will prevail and crush the other. Coexistence isn't possible. Parabellum. .
