    “To all the wealthy, liberal elites who are cheering on the protests and riots, a word of warning is in order. The same holds true for the conservative Christians who are lining up to show their support for the BLM movement. To each of you I say: Do not be deceived. The cancel culture will soon be coming for you.

    A few weeks ago, I read about a TV sports journalist who tweeted his support for rioters in a nearby city. “Burn that s— down. Burn it all down,” he tweeted with glee.

    Later that same day, as the mob marched towards his private neighborhood, his tone had changed. He called them animals and — get this — noted how the crowds scattered when the police arrived. How ironic! The cry to defund the police lasts only so long.

    “Guillotine” Treatment Comes for Jeff Bezos
    Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is the latest to face the wrath of the mob.

    As Breitbart reported,”

    It has been interesting watching people cheering on the mobs suddenly change their tune when the mob turns on them. This opinion piece gets it right on so many levels. The mobs are using a genuine tragedy and miscarriage of justice to spread their anti America anti Christian anti capitalist hate around the country.

    What are going to do when they come for you? The better question is who among those currently being targeted will you protect now so that you will have someone who’s got your back when they do come for you.

    I doubt that you'd ask that question if you were a small business owner in parts of Minneapolis who, for example, sold liquor.... It was all fun and games in St Louis until the mob descended on the Mayor's little piece of gated and walled heaven... Same for the mayor of Seattle. it's beginning to be a trend.

    You are surely, surely smart enough to know the answer to your own question.

    I was trying to find a nice way to say I don't believe anyone, liberal or conservative is coming for me or you for that matter.

    Yeah....also not worried about anyone "coming for me". One of the many perks living in a small rural town. I feel bad for the businesses in cities where the aholes rioted. Those rioters disgust me. Nothing but low life scumbags.

    Many people think the the odds of that happening are rapidly rising. The right to free speech and most of our values are being attacked daily, and the nature and extent of attack is getting more bizarre. The trend certainly doesn't indicate any kind or logic or sanity regulates it, thus one might be wiser to ask why they wouldn't, instead of why they would. They don't seem to need a reason, and if politicians don't find some backbone and back police, there would be little to stop them. Many politicians have told their citizens the police aren't coming- then used tax dollars to hire private security. If there is no penalty for crime, why would they not pick you? They might pick me too, but that would not turn out to be a good decision. We hope it's not necessary to prove the point.

    Whether to be worried about depends on if the mob gets distracted by something else and burns itself out, or if it goes French Revolution and just starts rolling downhill, picking up more victims along the way.

    Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition either.

    But seriously, who in 1914 expected the Gulag?

    Who in 1788 expected the Reign of Terror?

    Who in 1945 expected the Cultural Revolution?

    These things are unthinkable, until they happen. What is so magic about the US you think it can't happen here?

    There had to be fear and a sense of victimisation for them to continue

    I heard in the news recently that New York City has cut funding to the police by $1 billion in their budget. What were they thinking? Oh well, for them, I don't live there, thankfully. But I do live in New York and it's anyone's guess about whether the situation slowly comes over the horizon towards me if this movement spreads.

    You should be worried, if the Dem's ever get back in power they're going to turn the US into a coast to coast city. Oh, you'll still have rural areas only every little village and hamlet will required to build public housing whose inhabitants kids will fill up your schools, who'll require a larger fire and police departments. all of this will be on you the taxpayer. Obama came up with this lunacy and wanted the US, by quota, entirely integrated. This would include gated communities and developments. HUD would become the largest government entity in the US. I saw this years ago traveling in the USSR. While traveling by train, here and there, there were these ugly gray apartment buildings in the middle of rural areas. I asked our travel escort about this and the official explanation was that this was housing for agricultural workers and surprisingly he rolled his eyes and smiled when he commented that they were luxury apartments. I found out later that he could have been shipped to a gulag for having said that. There were a lot of these buildings in the middle of vast tracts of open land where there was no obvious agricultural activities. I saw similar buildings in cities in areas that were described to me as ghettos, that in this socialist paradise of equality there was an underclass and extreme poverty. Even then there were people there who would risk their necks to tell westerners these sort of things. There's still a lot of this sort of thing under Putin but they don't even try to hide it anymore. Everywhere there has been or still has socialism there is an abundance of evidence of failure yet there are those vacuous doe eyed progressives like AOC et al who swoon at the very mention of these fairytales. So your comfortable buffer could become urbanized if the Dems have their way, your land taken by eminent domain and occupied by gray ugly buildings and masses of people who don't work and are eyeballing your stuff. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...amas-plan-abolish-transform-americas-suburbs/

    Nonsense. You do realize there is a reason the founding fathers set up the govt the way they did, right? No one party can just push through anything and everything they want.

    That ceased to be the case when partisan politics became the norm. You do realize that the Democrats are pushing hard right now to destroy the founding father's plan for America. We are headed full tilt for disaster if they get in, in November. The current chaos we are experiencing is deliberate and the only the first salvo. Even if they don't succeed in November the relative peace we've enjoyed for so long is gone and has been replaced with this chaos, it is the new norm. These people are evil and will stop at nothing to seize power and when they do America is in for a **** show.

    Holy over dramatic. What plan are the Dems pushing to destroy? Be specific in what they are pushing for that will destroy the founding father's plan?

    I live in a city of 225000 people. No one has been killed, no places have been burned by protesters. I live less than 60 miles from a major American city of about a million people where no one has been killed and nothing has been burned.
    I live less than 100 miles from two more American cities each with more than 1 million people and to my knowledge no one had died there and no buildings have been burned.
    If one watches some conservative news outlets one riots believes this are common because they greatly exaggerate the threat.
    I am not in favor of violence and property damage; it is wrong, but far more people are dying and far more businesses are being destroyed by Covid-19. Perhaps we all could work together to fix that problem.
    Perhaps we could also fix some of the problems coming from the protests if we were willing to at least listen to their complaints most Americans are kind, patriotic, and concerned about our country. We should not let us be divided by fear and in some instances hate.

    No businesses in my town or any surrounding town was targeted by any protesters or rioters. In fact there were no protests in any surrounding town at all. Closest protesting/rioting to my town was in Boston which is about a 45 to 50 min drive.
    So I’m not in the least bit worried about anyone “coming to get me” or anyone else in my area. Again, one of the many perks living in small town rural area.

    Well how about being concerned about the honest hard-working people they did come for? I guess you live in the USA.

    He could try to protect his business by painting his transoms with lamb's blood.
    Oh, wait - I mean posting big red #BLM signs in his windows.
    Same thing.
