I'll make it simple. While serving in Air Force hospitals during the Vietnam years, I witnessed no shortage of war's physical effects. Gunshots, for those who live through them, can cause immense damage for the recipients and nightmare work for medical staff charged with making the seemingly impossible possible.
By the way, this is not about horses and not about shooting horses.. I love horses. In fact, I believe there are occasions where people who shoot horses should also be shot. Not to digress. . .
America's largest cities and quite a few not so sizeable are experiencing not only protests, but calamitous riots perpetrated by people imbedded with no other interest than the brutal collapse of the nation. Obviously, the smartest among them are joined by absolute morons, impressionable bottom-feeders and those determined to live life in ignorance.
And it's different this time.
Were those ensconced in violence able to succeed, the United States could quickly join, as a U.S. president put it so eloquently, the sh**holes of the world.
Peaceful protests are great. Violent demonstrations orchestrated by street trash revolutionaries with a terrifying plan are deplorable.
People submitting willfully to lawful orders issued by police officers enhance the qualities of a democratic republic and the rights we are all fortunate to access. People of or of no color who choose to injure or flee from police officers -- even when ignoring the cops, opening a car door and maybe or maybe not reaching inside for a weapon -- add one more pound of the heart to an already stressful situation for cops on the street. Bad things, things that maybe wouldn't happen at any other time, happen in an instant.
Black Lives Matter? Now we know the radical organization's roots and supporters, and the matter of black lives apparently has little to do with BLM's goals. Radical, America-hating revolutionary Marxists seem to be everywhere now, and the mainstream media won't say a word, nothing that could possibly rattle political progressives who justify the most egregious of actions perpetrated by the sharp-eyed mobs.
I hate gunshot wounds, and medical personnel have better things to do than clean up after trigger people whose on-hands responsibility for blood baths ends when the firearm chamber empties and they disappear into the night. If the violent leftist, Marxist, race-consumed or otherwise indescribable street trash whose main desire is to destroy, injure and loot can't be stopped with the usual methods, then maybe those charged with protecting life, limb and property should consider shooting to kill. Yes, banish any thought of merely injuring rioters, because medical personnel would need to devote valuable attention to patching up fierce anti-American enemies who are anything but "protesters."
Shoot to kill? Barbaric? Not what America is about? Look around and feast your eyes upon cities run primarily by out-of-control Democrat rule, drenched with radical revolutionaries and increasing violence, and maybe we will seriously consider whether a carefully plotted Civil War 2020 has arrived on the streets (and soon in the suburbs) of America.
What? What. What can never be dissuaded with candy and flowers may ultimately need to be cured with government-authorized bullets and a few bodies decorating city sidewalks like busted pinatas. Bloodthirsty bullies never appear more beautiful than when they repose motionless and horizontal in the streets, but they need to be put there by sane government directives, not by vigilantes gone wild.
