A nation founded on the rule of law appears to be yielding to the rule of the mob. Not everyone has surrendered. The trend, though, is worrisome. Too many of our “leaders” and institutions are failing us.
In 2020, law enforcement officers in this country are being treated not just with disrespect but in many instances are being abused verbally and physically. Rioters and looters are going unpunished, not because they can’t be identified or the cases against them are weak but because prosecutors (several of them backed by George Soros) refuse to uphold the law and charge the offenders.

Aren't you glad that their multiple attempts to strip our guns out of our hands failed?!

All cops aren't bad, but all cops aren't good, either. If you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, cops might as well bust some Antifa/rioter/looters heads. They will gain more support in America than they will lose. The cops that go around enforcing draconian rules issued by the Adolf Whittmers in some states is not going to gain them any support. Enforcing unconstitutional 'laws' on Americans that haven't drunk the Fauchi kool-aid is not going to enhance their image!

IMHO, this started when the Corrupt Clinton’s entered the national spotlight.
Their open-ended corruption and seemingly bottomless pit of greed and avarice (and Bill’s O(v)al Office activities, slammed the nation into overdrive in moral decay.
I’ll never forget some of the terms my sainted mother (94 yrs old now) learned from them 25 yrs ago.
They are one if the worst plagues ever to come upon this people.
We are not in the first days. We’re in the Last Days.

It will all get corrected but it won't be pretty and it won't please the SJW morons. Looting and destruction has never gone unpunished in the history of the world, just ask the Roman Empire, the Persians, the French, the Nazis, the Spanish, the British, etc. We will eventually get fed up and the backlash will put things back in balance.

Up until the election. Then we will see if the great “Silent Majority” across the country has been bullied, cowed, and scared enough for the leftist and liberal Democrats to take over the country, supported by the Communist Antifa and Black Lives Matter movements, with political agendas designed to transform the USA into some sort of yet undefined socialist utopia. That’s what all the civil unrest is really about.
The big problem that those Communist and Socialist movements have right now is that they do not have a charismatic leader, along with the fact that they do not have a political policy agenda that is supported by anywhere near a majority of Americans, and must rely on personally attacking President Trump citing issues with his personality.

We stopped being a Nation of Laws a long time ago. Luckily, we have more than enough ammo, rope and lampposts to administer justice when the time comes.

Where ya been Editors? We have been in the age of lawlessness for almost 30 years, given the double standards of not prosecuting democrats who commit crimes. I like #1's suggestion very much.

Congress or the AG need to come up with a way to deal with Soro's district attorneys that refuse to prosecute offenders such as antifa and BLM, And when is Soros and his cohorts going to be arrested?

I checked another online ammunition seller, trying to find some .38 Special ammunition for a young niece. They show 40 SKUs for that caliber, all "Out of Stock".
Yeah, people are worried. Ammo shelves are literally bare, not a box of any of the common handgun calibers available anywhere in person, or online. And ammo factories are running full output.

Who's "we"? Seems like this is mainly occurring in large, democrat run cities. It doesn't appear to be happening too much in small towns and the burbs of fly over country.

We are in the later days of a post constitutional era. We will fall just as the Roman Empire fell but quicker. It’s been nice knowing you America. But the party is over. Just wait until the mobs destroy the Lincoln Memorial and loot and burn the White House, and rampage through the House off Representatives and Senate.

#13, if that happens, then power devolves to the states, and groups of like minded states will probably join together.
This is the basic underlying premise of Kurt Schlichter's dystopic near-future novel series, People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. When the first one came out, in 2016, it seemed a bit far fetched, but a fun read, in a horror story kind of way. Now - the premise doesn't seem so far fetched as it did four short years ago, sadly.
All should read at least Indian Country for a taste of what could be coming if the crazies like DeBozo and Crazy Jenny were to gain more power, and take the "CHOP" insanity or what is happening to NYC to a wider scale.
THIS is why the left has been so intent on getting guns, especially AR-15 type rifles out of the hands of patriots for a long time. They have always had this in mind, just a matter of when they could get enough power to start things rolling.
The November election may be our last real chance to put this evil genie back into the bottle for a while.

Until police remove themselves from political control (as in union whoring for votes) there will not be a solution. They let criminals walk and charge innocent citizens for the 'crime' of defending themselves. Our police in Dem cities have inadvertently made themselves also the enemy. Choose - NOW. Because armed righteous citizens may not be able to tell who are the real criminals.

There is an era of lawlessness, but only in some areas - namely the blue states and cities. I live in SC where everyone is going about their lives as usual except for being forced to wear masks in public buildings.

#15, the only kind of "police" which are not directly controlled by politicians are the County Sheriffs, elected by the people of the county. However, the budget for the Sheriff's Dept comes via the county political leaders, so they do have some control, but a bit indirect. And the Sheriff can complain directly about it if the county starts interfering with his powers.
When we had a Ukrianian engineer and her family visit for a few weeks about 6 years ago, they had lots of questions about 'how America works'. Many discussions led to me having to think through things that I "knew" but didn't much think about, normally. One that they were very interested in was "who controls the police". A big deal in their country, seemingly a minor detail at the time. It seemed so theoretical just half a dozen years ago, now we do worry about it. They were really amazed, to the point of near disbelief, and a need to explain it several times, they were sure that they misunderstood, that the County Sheriff did not report to the Mayor or the County leaders, or to the Governor or to the President --- just to the people of the county. That, for them was a total mind blower, and now - it seems to be more important than EVER.
Think carefully about who you support for your County Sheriff - it might make a BIG difference, and sooner rather than later.

All the rioting--and it is rioting, and not protests--is a continuation of the Leftist Refusal To Accept the 2016 Presidential Election.
Same crowd, same people. Bet every rioter that was eligible to vote in 2016 was either a Hillary voter or didn't vote.
There is no reasoning with this crowd.
But, the riots will actually help President Trump's re-election.

We ARE ripe for a revolution. The leftists are about overturning a nation; we're about reforming and restoring our nation. That's what real revolutions are born of. Evil leftists have twisted what a true revolution is. Think about when the Pilgrims came to what is now America. They fled their country because it had become something it hadn't been. Think about the Protestant Reformation that happened because the church strayed from the Gospel and became something else. America has strayed so far from its founding, that a correction is necessary. We're just not as militant as the marxists aggressors. They want what they want by any means necessary. We have to get what we want by going beyond by any means necessary--whatever that means.

#6 agree but consoder that there is a Silent MINORITY among democrats who don't support the destruction of capitalism, of the traditional family structure, or gun rights or historical references and do support law enforcement, churches and private property.How do we think they answer a pollsters questions?

Yes! And it is being financed by Soros and other anti-American groups! Fear not, however. Over a million citizens have guns and plenty of ammo! I lost mine in the boating accident!

First days? The day Obama took office was one beginning of the end of America, but there have been other beginnings of lawlessness, like LBJ's Viet Nam War, Roe v. Wade.
What we are seeing now is the beginning of genocide of Eurpean-Americans. The European-American male is the Jew of liberal fascism.
