“Police made no effort to interfere…” This is happening to Americans all over the US and multiple factions compare their opposition with the abusers of Nazi Germany.
There’s been looting and vandalism in broad daylight, and 2 months of nightly destruction of property and fires in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. (And Atlanta, Georgia, New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis, St Louis and virtually every large city in the US) This weekend in Columbus, Ohio, a peaceful rally was disrupted by obscene “Black Lives Matter” protestors, with one woman waving what looks like severed male genitals (here, at about 6:35).
Local police are being *ordered* to stand down and limit their efforts to interfere by Mayors and Governors, but when they do – or Federal law enforcement is sent in – who is criticized, even called the “Gestapo?”
House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., compared federal law enforcement in Portland to Nazi Germany’s Gestapo police force on Monday.
Sometimes, even “Black Lives” are victims of both vandalism and assault.
The parallels with Kristallnacht are not precise, but they’re there: the rioters have unofficial approval from the same local governments that are throttling down law enforcement. Only, this time, another governing body would stop the vandalism if allowed.
The question is not whether Godwin’s law has been broken, but whether we learned anything from history in general. I’m also reminded of the chair of the French Revolution which ended when the original leaders were sent to the guillotine, and George Washington’s response to the Whiskey Rebellion with an army of Federal soldiers attacking members of the mob who were accused of harming Federal agents and burning the home of one a official.
How long will the voting public allow their elected officials to be “distracted” by the anarchy and politics?
