Minneapolis and New York.\u00a0 Here are two cities where the largest constituency in the coalition that keeps the Democrats in perpetual power was given carte blanche to riot, burn and loot whole districts of each city.\u00a0 The result is similar to what happened in Los Angeles during the Rodney King riots in 1992.\u00a0 But there\u2019s a new twist.\u00a0 In these two cities the mayors ordered the police to stand down and let the mob riot unopposed.\u00a0 Essentially the criminals who did all that damage did so without any consequences.\u00a0 In fact, the rioters were treated as the aggrieved party and the political and law enforcement officials groveled in front of them.<\/p>\n
As much as I despise Lori Lightfoot, the odious Mayor of Chicago she at least tried to have the police stop some of the looting.\u00a0 She blocked off the commercial district to save the property of the Cloud People who are her patrons.\u00a0 Of course, that didn\u2019t do much for the poorer neighborhoods on the south and west sides of the city that were thoroughly looted and burned by the brainless mob and their Antifa leaders.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s an aside.\u00a0 Where do Minneapolis and New York go from here?\u00a0 In a year and a half Jacob Frey and Bill de Blasio both end their present miserable terms.\u00a0 New York will be spared another bout of de Blasio by virtue of term limits.\u00a0 After his murder of Minneapolis, I\u2019m guessing that hapless Frey will slink away and take up skate boarding.<\/p>\n
Is it possible these two cities will reconsider endorsing death by Democrat this time?\u00a0 Back in the late eighties New York rebounded from David Dinkins\u2019 \u201cgorgeous mosaic\u201d of street crime to elect Rudy Giuliani.\u00a0 As much as it irked them, Giuliani provided the liberal citizenry of New York with the first competent mayor since Fiorello LaGuardia back in the forties.\u00a0 Will things be bad enough by 2022 that they\u2019ll once again put in the hated conservative to right the sinking ship?<\/p>\n
The same question applies to Minneapolis.\u00a0 It\u2019s a one-party town in a one-party state.\u00a0 But could things spin so far out of control that they throw in the towel and elect an actual grown up man who believes that law and order are the bedrock of a functioning society?<\/p>\n
The answer is it doesn\u2019t really matter.\u00a0 Even if both cities elect Republicans to save them the outcome in the long run will still be the same.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen the same behavior up here in New England.\u00a0 Republicans are a kind of pressure relief valve.\u00a0 Once the locals have indulged their mental illnesses for too long the pressure of all that madness approaches the danger zone and they relieve the pressure by bringing in a Republican to fix things.\u00a0 I won\u2019t call him a conservative, that would be a ridiculous lie.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be some libertarian like William Weld or Mitt Romney who\u2019ll do the dirty work of reducing the toxicity of the progressive madness to sub-lethal levels.\u00a0 But eventually he will be cast out when the next bout of madness strikes the general population.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s what will happen in Minneapolis and New York.\u00a0 They\u2019ll bring in a fixer who will reduce the insanity just enough to allow whole charade to go on and on forever through cycle after cycle.\u00a0 I actually wish that the Republicans would just walk away and let the Democrats own this.\u00a0 New York becoming mega-Detroit seems fitting.\u00a0 It would be an abomination to see some of the most amazing cultural resources destroyed.\u00a0 But it might be the straw that breaks the camel\u2019s back.\u00a0 If New York is utterly destroyed then that is undeniable proof that the assumptions we currently work under are false.\u00a0 If they don\u2019t work then we must change them.\u00a0 And changing them is how we get to a rational system in this country.<\/p>\n
Think about it.\u00a0 A white police officer murders a black career criminal.\u00a0 The police officer is arrested and charged with murder.\u00a0 And instead of that being the end of the sequence of events, countless thousands of anarchists and looters destroy thousands of businesses, hundreds of policemen are injured and ten or twenty people die.\u00a0 But just a few years ago, in the same city, a black police officer murdered a white woman who hadn\u2019t done anything at all.\u00a0 Eventually he was tried and convicted.\u00a0 But guess how many people rioted, how many businesses were destroyed, how many policemen were injured, how many additional lives were lost because of this reverse situation.\u00a0 You guessed it, none.\u00a0 Something is very wrong with this picture and it won\u2019t get better by kneeling to the thugs who are responsible for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
