I find this one hilarious. The two major Democrat candidates for Atlanta mayor are outbidding each for how many more police they will hire. One says 250 the other triples that. By gum, they’ll fix this whole Mad Max, Road Warrior thing by putting an ad in the paper for more cops.
I just love it. They charge cops with murder if they defend themselves against armed thugs and then they expect to get actual police deterrence. These guys will do the same thing the old guys are doing. Lean on the side of their squad cars and play games on their phones. I hope to watch on cable news as the gangs burn the CNN headquarters just for laughs and the police stand aside and let nature take its course.
The only thing that will bring the cities back is hiring a mayor, city council, district attorney and police chief who codify the right of police officers to use deadly force when it’s necessary. Until then the gangs will burn, loot and murder to their hearts’ content.
When all the Fortune 500 flee the cities and the city coffers are empty these cities will be Detroit. Maybe new cities will be built in the Red States with walls and gates and there won’t be any space for the gangsters. Can’t think of another way to deal with a lawless country.

(I think I’ve never previously managed to get both secede and succeed in the same sentence.) The chaos, murder, car jackings, rampant shopliftings and police stand downs really didn’t play well with the folks over on Blackland Rd near the Governors Mansion… Read more »
