Evidently this charming guy lives in my quaint hometown of around 7,000 people, about an hour north of Philadelphia. Yesterday after raucous May Day preening through the streets of the City of Brotherly Love, he and about 30 other Summer of Rage adherents smashed windshields, threw paint and propelled marbles at high speed through the new windows of a three-block section Philly that is being renovated – gentrified – with damage estimated at $100,000.
Happily, eyewitnesses flagged down cops and they caught this fella and a woman fleeing the scene, and arrested them. Turns out, by police accounts, he is 45 and lives in a house here with a woman 30 years older than him, and she shares his last name. huh.
There are plenty of Democrats and Republicans in suburbia, but until now I would not have assumed there were anarchists here. I remember years ago hearing Glenn Beck, before he got weird, broadcast from Philly about a book called ‘The Coming Insurrection,’ which outlined an anarchic movement then mainly in Europe’s underground, whose goals were, I think, nullification of law enforcement and, basically, revolt without end. It seems Philly is getting sucked into that spiral, even as the city continues to be paraded out, for the Pope, for the Dem convention, for the NFL draft. We have a race going on for DA in which an openly Soros-funded, BLM supporting lawyer is running. It’s like all the best and the worst things are getting heaped into the city, a lid slammed on it, and shaken violently.
Here I worry daily about my two kids who live and work in NYC, and this idiot lemming – who, to complete my chagrin, is reportedly an artist, augh! – crawls out from my sweet suburbia.



Sad.
“Here I worry daily about my two kids who live and work in NYC …”
No worries, Mama. NYC is actually fairly safe despite all of de Blasio’s efforts to make it not so primarily because people just aren’t in the mood to take s**t. If drivers pulled some of the stunts there that they do here in Fla, they would be openly assaulted.
My very last day in NYC as I was walking home from work, a reckless cabbie ran a red light and almost hit an investment banker type wearing a very expensive suit and carrying an even more expensive briefcase. Shouldn’t repeat the victim’s expletives, but I can tell you that $5,000 dollar briefcase went through the windshield of the cab at Mach 1 speed.
I just grinned as I was walking past this debacle thinking how much I was going to miss the city. :)
Despite Liz’s examples of rage, I would submit that the whole Right Edge is ON edge. They are basically in the throes of socialist vs capitalist combat, and neither side is showing signs of either backing down or losing. It’s a toss-up.
Soon perhaps we can expect a nation like the civilization pictured in Mad Max.
Right; I would also add that more people should lose the herd mentality and be willing to take matters into their own hands. I am certainly not advocating ‘street’ justice and that banker was probably arrested, but I do know one thing: social stigma and fear of repercussions by one’s peers is a very powerful force. The left has used this strategy very effectively. (Notice the fact that a pack of cigarettes costs $10 in NY.)
Conservatives have the power to control our environment and need to exercise it in a law-abiding manner.
Is that FC?
These people are why you need to keep firearms in your house.
The government is why I will never confirm or deny that I have firearms in my house, unless compelled to under oath. Even to friends.

Word.
“Turns out, by police accounts, he is 45 and lives in a house here with a woman 30 years older than him, and she shares his last name. huh.”
Are you sure this story isn’t actually about that guy running against Marine LePen to be president of France?

Ha!
