Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny. What do they have in common? They’re the two luckiest white men in America. Somehow both of them managed to get an honest jury in the face of relentless anti-white propaganda and incredibly hostile media coverage.
So, what is the takeaway from what these men went through? I think the important point is the miraculous nature of their acquittals. And the fact that clearly innocent men attempting to defend themselves and the public at large from rioters and lunatics that the police have been forced to ignore were brought up on murder charges proves that we have been thrown to the wolves by the governments in the blue jurisdictions.
The truth of the matter is the police in New York City and Kenosha should have been the ones to stop rioters and lunatics from turning the streets of their cities into war zones. New York City subway cars are now as dangerous to innocent people as the streets of Beirut. Any day of the week you can see footage of gangs of marauding urban thugs victimizing law-abiding people on YouTube, X or TikTok. And it’s the thugs themselves who put the video on-line. They’re proud of it!
After four years of this madness, I’m beginning to hear of voters in blue jurisdictions voting out mayors and prosecutors who are responsible for the carnage. Even in Los Angeles and San Francisco this is happening. And a state-wide question in California succeeded in cancelling the recent law that said that shop lifting $900 or less of merchandise was essentially unpunishable.
Could this signify a restoration of law and order in these cities? I’m going to say no. The baby steps currently taken will not convince the police that the government has their back and will demand that the crime be throttled back to pre-George Floyd era standards. That would take a consensus among city leaders that doesn’t exist and maybe never will exist again. At least not under the present party coalition. What it would take would be something along the lines of the Trump working class coalition coming into power in the cities. But it would need to be large and durable enough to weather the blowback that would occur when the prisons would begin to fill up again with the large criminal element among the urban underclass. There would be video that people would say looked like the George Floyd arrest. And unless the coalition could stomach that kind of pressure nothing would improve.
No, I don’t think we should expect that kind of turnaround, maybe ever. The real lesson is that cities and other areas that want to remain livable cannot allow law enforcement to be turned into a chew toy for race hustlers and the media. They need to be defended against any amount of pressure by their mayors and governors. And they must be willing to go toe to toe with the Justice Department and the FBI if they come meddling into local jurisdiction.
Florida has seemed to be working in that direction. I’m sure other jurisdictions are doing the same. For regular citizens, use whatever evidence you can to live where the crime doesn’t happen. That is the takeaway.
I read an article back somewhen, the 1990’s probably in the time frame in which the country was still in lock ’em up mode. This was after the crime waves of the 80’s and early 90’s threatened to swamp the nation.
The hard liberal author of the article was crying racism and pointing out just how ridiculous it was that we would have such full prisons in a time in which crime was apparently under control.
I remember almost yelling out, “You idiot, don’t you understand cause and effect?”

They won’t accept the reality that there is a subset of the population who are sociopaths. Incarceration or execution is the only way to protect the rest of us from them. In the past execution acted both as a deterrent and a way to remove these individuals from the gene pool.
