Escape from New York (1981) IMDb
As major cities, ruled by so-called “Progressive’s”, from coast to coast continue to defund police while they condone and excuse criminal behavior – mob violence, rioting, looting, drugs and gangs – we can expect fearful citizenry to flee and seek refuge and sanctuary in locales which offer them and those they love safety.
Already we see areas of Milwaukee, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago and many other large, urban areas of major cities being surrendered to rule by organizations such as BLM, Drug Gangs, ANTIFA and others.
Police officers are being disarmed, not being supported by city leaders and too often becoming bystanders, fearful of long prison terms by mob intimidated jurors for a mistake in judgement made in situations where they may have 1/10th of a second to make a decision to use or not use weapons they depend on to protect law-abiding citizens and themselves from well armed criminals who obey no gun laws.
What happens when you call 911 in a life and death situation and you get a recording to file your request on line or another recording telling you a “Social Worker” will be out to take a report in a few days?
To get a perspective on real crime in a real city, I have for some time thought High School and College students should be required to watch at least fifty episodes of A&E’s “First 48” which is a well done factual documentary on crime in major cities around the country. I challenge readers of this article to watch just ten episodes – available on demand from A&E Network or Discovery+ – Then tell me you are in favor of defunding Police departments.
Racism is found in peoples of all colors and cultures. I oppose Racism in all its forms. I am not only not Racist, I have always believed Racism is more than just morally wrong, it is stupid. True Racism robs all of us, of all colors, the richness of shared experiences and cultures.
We are living through a time when most of us feel we must “walk on eggshells” and be careful of anything we say because it might be interpreted as “Racist”. Accusations of Racism is often nothing more than a weapon used to bludgeon the one accused into silence and acquiescence into accepting the accusers agenda.
Those who use Racism as a weapon are generally not interested in factual conversation. For example the following report from the U.S. Department of Justice will likely bring down howls of disbelief and rage from activists. Why? Because facts don’t fit the activist narrative or agenda.
Example: Department of Justice Report: For Black Victims of Violent Crime, 70.3% of Offenders Are Fellow Blacks, 10.6% of Offenders Are White. CSN News – Michael W. Chapman – April 15, 2021.
Can this decay in civilization and livability of our major cities be solved? I think it can be but not by what is being demanded and implemented now. Much of what is being “force fed” to the American public of all races will only create more resentment and anger which will lead only to greater separation , frustration and violence.
You cannot legislate love and harmony through forced indoctrination. You need to change hearts and minds through honest discourse and true understanding. Most folks and true neighbors can live in peace and appreciation of common values without regard to race.
Right now we are on course to turn our major cities into a reflection of John Carpenters Escape From New York – a hellish rubble ruled by crime and corruption.
