There is certainly two sets of standards in America today being pushed by the media:
Welcome to the communist takeover—violent thugs marching in the street under the protective shield of a completely silent mainstream media complex and police departments forced into complicity.
You’ve surely been hearing plenty about the criminal actions of a relatively small group of Trump supporters who rioted through the halls of Congress on Wednesday in the midst of an otherwise peaceful protest to the certification of the Electoral College votes naming Joe Biden as President-elect.
Of course, the same media who rediscovered the terms “riot” and “mob” were unaware of such phrases during the summer when far-left groups raged through the streets of America’s major cities, causing billions in damage and the loss of several lives.
Just this weekend, Antifa was on the streets of New York, marching in riot gear and shouting that they were “our mother*ckin streets!” and yet the media has been entirely silent.
Even Republicans, including South Dakota's DC delegation, are involved in this injustice:
Plenty of Republicans have denounced the violence and criminal actions of those protesters who engaged in the chaos on Wednesday—but we also all know that there were at least a few members of far-left groups dressed in MAGA gear there as well.
These people are openly looking for a fight.
Yet it’s only the pro-Trump mobs that get denounced and demonized while the black-clad terrorists who have been running amok in our streets for years virtually entirely unaddressed by anyone other than Trump and a handful of GOP politicians go entirely ignored.
And many attempts to correct this wrong is censored by Big Tech.
The sovereigns are overwhelmingly white christians using maladapted interpretations of the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to rationalize its commitment to a pending race war.
Using links to the federal storming of Ruby Ridge in Idaho and the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas culminating in the Oklahoma City bombing the extreme white wing of the Republican Party worships manuscripts like the Turner Diaries as prayers.
Many are either convicted felons no longer able to vote or have been marginalized by those who believe that the democratic process is ineffective especially since a person of color was President of the United States. The guy who killed some 60 people in Las Vegas was a white supremacist bent on starting a race war.
Recall that during the second Obama term a group of armed thugs, including a retired Air Force master sergeant from South Dakota allied with mormon Cliven Bundy, occupied and ransacked not a courthouse but a national wildlife refuge in none other than Harney County, Oregon. The white wing of the Republican Party brands Black Lives Matter and Native American protesters unemployed slackers but a horde of Huns that takes over a federal facility to wait out the End Days and terrorizes Congress are called patriots.
Now dead domestic terrorist Lavoy Finicum helped vandalize the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in 2016.
The militarization of law enforcement is undoing democracy by firing teachers to privatize prisons. The disaffected Left goes to a state capital and dances on the People’s table in the governor’s office. The disaffected Right has guns and kills people.
Charles Whitman, Richard Speck, Timothy McVeigh, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, Robert Dear, James Holmes, Eric Rudolph, Jared Loughner, Wade Michael Page, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Frein, Stephen Paddock and Nickolas Cruz all are or were christians. All these men were victims of bullying, isolation and ostracism. All had histories of extensive teevee usage, many to video game exposure and easy access to firearms. Distrust of government was a factor in most, if not all of the episodes for which they are infamous.
Is this how Americans really want to live? Carry rifles and sidearms into every bar, church, and arena?
Stand your ground has become vigilante justice because the courts are overwhelmed with suspects in the war on drugs, our communities are becoming armed camps and we’re barricaded in our homes afraid to let our kids go to school.
How many more people will be caught in or die from as yet uncounted crossfires?
