Look in the mirror. Yes, we are responsible. After all aren’t we in charge. Don’t we select our leaders? Unfortunately, many of the political leaders and office holders in our blue states are wimps. They have mastered the cheek turning approach to use in all situations. No one is responsible and no one is ever punished. If in doubt don’t prosecute. Just forgive and forget. The forgiveness thing has its place but we shouldn’t forget that without punishing those who harm others and those who fund the violence in our cities, it will only get worse. Maybe President Trump’s promise of ten years in prison for tearing down National Monuments had something to do with the end of terrorists toppling statutes.
In all civilizations there are always people who will break laws and cheat whenever they think it is necessary to get what they want. What do you think a competitive football or baseball game would look like without umpires and referees whose ruling are the law? Those who refuse to follow those rules are punished? The terrorists in the streets of cities know they won’t be punished for destroying lives and the property of hard working, law biding citizens. The violence you see on the street is not caused by protesters, they are terrorists. Who are well funded by socialist billionaires, high tech companies and social media wanna be revolutionaries. This must stop. The price of just watching it happen and hoping for the best is just too high for all of us. The rule of law is one of democracies pillars. Don’t ignore it.
