Anarchy is what we are sliding towards.I prefer rule of law to anarchy, thank you.
Incidentally, while I am a big states rights guy there is an awful good case for the feds stepping into some of these things and bringing cases.
I hear a lot about "the government should be afraid of the people"- you're seeing it in Portland, Oakland, Seattle- "the people" here, unfortunately, being people you disagree with (as do I).
These dickheads should be prosecuted to the fullest. And if the locals aren't willing to do it, I see plenty of federal laws on the books that apply.
Random beat downs in the streets = anarchy- which these assclowns happen to like.
I'll take rule of law, thanks again.
The government, at whichever level, will not help you. It is by government policy, whether planned or by accident, that has helped foster an entitlement culture which now currently bedevils us. Human society is cyclical, we are in the midst of a decline. The only thing we can rely upon is our own resolve and determination.
The law has been thoroughly corrupted. It will not protect us. In fact it is wielded against us.
