Never Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth

By now if your city hasn't experienced the violence across the country you have been exposed to it via your choice of media. Right now just about everyone has a theory behind all the violent aspects of the protest. Everything from it's government plot to instill more control over the populace to political agenda's from the left and right.

Personally for me we can rule out it's a plot to instill more control over the populace. There's just been to many blue states relaxing laws that allow the criminals to roam free. I've spent the last several months listening to stories of business owners who've had to go buy guns to protect their stores because it's perfectly legal, or I guess I should say there's no crime against walking into a store and carrying out things that are less than a thousand bucks. The store owners can call the cops but they are not coming. You are free and clear to take whatever you want. With these criminal justice reforms there just isn't any money to be made by jailing petty criminals so they don't want anything to do with people that they can't squeeze any money out of. Same with some of these rioters, or at least that's what the media is saying, if they are poor they go in one door and out the other. I know here that is not true, one guy got a five thousand dollar bond and is facing ten years for incitement to riot. The difference is when you chose to go through the books and lower or decriminalize criminal behavior that's relinquishing control.

Our state hasn't gone to such extreme's yet. Yes the National Guard is here and they have been flying back and forth in their helicopters from county to county as a show of force several times day and night. If you lived as close as I did to the riots it's comforting to look up and see them, they also relieve the fears of my grandchildren today when they asked why a helicopter keeps going overhead and I tell them they are there protecting us in case the rioters get out of hand again. They are sending them a message they are still here watching out for everyone. As sure as they showed up I know as sure they will go, it just a matter of time.

If these protest are infiltrated with agitators the question is by who. It could be Obama and his buddy Eric Holder. Holder has spent the last several years organizing groups around the US and it's pretty apparent Obama is trying for a third term through Biden. Obama more so than Holder has been sowing seeds of disdain against the current administration the last several weeks speaking pubic-ally and supposedly caught off mic with Holder coming out a couple days ago to chide the current administration. In a prior post I did I stated I was more convinced that if this virus was deliberate it was at the hands of Obama by the words he chose to release...so it wouldn't surprise me at all if this wasn't a golden opportunity to sow the seeds of discord against this administration even further.

On the other hand it wouldn't surprise me at all if this administration was involved letting it roil out of hand to remind people what it was like living under Obama who let rioters roam unabated and people saw huge protest blocking them while they tried to go to and from work. Or maybe they look at it like a golden opportunity to get the economy back up and moving. I mean really when you think about it it truly boils down to never look a gift horse in the mouth. Why contemplate giving every American two thousand dollars to spur the economy when you have looters emptying out all the stores for you. Creating this kind of demand was totally unimaginable just a couple weeks ago, gone, lock, stock and barrel with the building smashed to smithereens or burnt to the ground to boot creating an even greater demand in construction and building materials. With all the losses due to covid these riots are like their wildest dreams come true. This is why Cuomo can get his idiot brother to make some comment that protest don't have to be peaceful while he himself refuses the national guard....he has visions of tax revenue rolling in his head. I mean really this is going to work out so well replacing lost revenue that hell let's get it spreading around in Europe, lets create an unbelievable amount of demand...production lines won't be able to keep up as there will be world wide shortages for months, just replacing all the glass alone will take months.

The sad part is all these people really think they are making a change, they believe the whole world is behind them. They don't realize that in a few short months they will actually be paying back every dime they looted through increased cost placed on corporations by their insurance companies who'll end up footing the bill. There really isn't any justice for anything, never has been, you can call it equal rights or woman's rights but at the end of the day if you still need to blow your boss in the parking you haven't come a long ways baby to get where you got to today...you took a short cut...it's all smoke and mirrors, the rioting is just way to systemic for it to be anything else...and that's why I know it will come to an end, when they reach enough damages to create a economic recovery point they'll put an end to it and start the economic reconstruction phase.

Once again the only people coming out ahead will be the corporations, politicians, governments and some poor people sporting Gucci bags.

I think your final sentence is a good summary of how this will end. The violence and riots undermines the fight against genuine injustices and for change. The people who will be the most affected by this violence are those already at the bottom.
