It would always come to this. At some point there would be a reckoning for BLM and Antifa.
The shootings in Kenosha, WI are a dividing line for America.
This is the moment where normal people finally said, “Enough.
There will be consequences. “
This is a war between radicalized lunatics bathed in
unquenchable envy and self-pity and those who refuse to act like victims.
But they are victims.
All of us are. On both sides of the divide.
We are victims of a vicious program to divide and conquer the
U.S. through a culture war designed to dehumanize each other.
We fight among ourselves over scraps while the people who
manipulated events to this point walk away laughing at the destruction.
They want the violence. They love it. They relish it. It brings
them power and prestige.
To maintain their power, as the systems they’ve built fail, they
have set us against each other: paid looters and rioters to become cannon
fodder in their war against common decency, culture, communities and family.
All for control over the levers of political power.
In 2016 we tried to tell them, peacefully, enough was enough. We
elected Donald Trump, of all people, to be our standard bearer. We did it the
way we were taught was the right way, through the ballot box.
It was supposed to be the hallmark of our enlightenment, the
peaceful transfer of power. It’s been anything but.
For four years we’ve endured a non-stop parade of political
venality unmatched in modern history. The quest for regaining the power of the
White House brooked no holds being barred.
And if Trump wouldn’t go willingly and we didn’t learn our
lesson, then they would activate every cell to flood the streets with
disaffected and nihilistic youths to loot and rob; using their outrageous sense
of entitlement as fuel for their rage against a machine they are, unwittingly,
the main cogs of.
But having watched one young man clear in his purpose to defend
his town from roving thugs in Kenosha be forced (under clear conditions of
self-defense) to kill two people is a dividing line we’re not coming back from.
Wars are only profitable for those that promote them. Those that
fight the wars are the real victims. This kid, a hero by my personal reckoning,
is also a victim and there’s no coming back from what he’s had to do.
Killing while justified is still killing. It scars you, no
matter if you wear a blue uniform, fatigues or a green t-shirt.
The animals I see on the streets under the auspice of what the
media calls ‘peaceful protests’ beating people to within inches of their lives
for the crime of being white and defending their property have no humanity.
My livestock have more decency than these people.
And yet, in order for us to survive this dark period of history,
we will still have to reach out to them and offer them peace and assistance
back from the insanity that grips them now.
That will be the hardest thing for us to do, while also
maintaining the resolve to do what we feel is necessary to preserve something
of what we’ve built.
That is the dividing line for many of us.
Only you know where that limit is. There are a lot of people out
there right now confronting that limit for the first time.
As my dad used to say, as NYPD, “I’d rather be judged by twelve
than carried by six.”
We are up against people who brook no limit on their behavior.
Everything is justified in the pursuit of their righteous cause. You can see in
it all the video footage.
And they know it. They know that we’d rather not fight back.
That, unfortunately, to people empowered by the mob and turned into bullies, is
misinterpreted as weakness.
Having humanity is not weakness. It is strength.
And nothing bursts the bubble of false bravado on display by
Anfita/BLM at this point than strength of character, which defines limits,
creates boundaries and establishes consequences.
The sad truth is that
this is only the beginning of what’s to come. The line is crossed and from town
to town, that line will be more difficult to assess than ever before.
The myth of policing is
failing. There aren’t enough cops to quell these riots. The State has been
revealed as their enablers.
The law has been used
against property owners told they shouldn’t defend themselves or their
businesses.
They’ve been afraid of
being the ones who cross the line while the looters overwhelm the streets. That
impulse will continue to wither. This anarcho-tyranny will not stand for much
longer.
That’s what we saw it on
the streets of Kenosha.
We’ll see more of it,
until a new form of order asserts itself.
