Return of the ‘Law and Order’ Issue

Guest Post by Pat Buchanan

Return of the 'Law and Order' Issue

Indeed, of all of the Black folks who will have died of homicide or murder in D.C., Baltimore, Philly and New York this year, how many will have been shot or stabbed by Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, white vigilantes, white supremacists or rogue white cops?

According to Gallup, on the issue of crime, President Joe Biden is 18 points underwater. While 57% of Americans disapprove of how he is handling crime, only 39% approve.

Biden’s dismal rating was recorded before the verdict came in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial — not guilty on all five counts — a verdict Biden declared had made him “angry.”

Biden’s rating also came before career criminal Darrell Brooks, free on $1,000 bail after running over his girlfriend, drove his Ford Escape into the Waukesha Christmas parade, killing six and injuring 60.

Biden’s low rating on crime came before “flash mobs” of thieves in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York looted Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Apple, cleaning them out in minutes.

It came before the guilty verdicts came in against the three white men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, the Black jogger, in Georgia.

Media efforts to infuse a racial motive to Rittenhouse’s action, however, failed. Rittenhouse is white, as were the three rioters he shot. As were the lead prosecutor and his deputy. As were Rittenhouse’s defense attorney and his deputy. And as was the judge.

Race never came up during Rittenhouse’s time on the witness stand. And nothing in his background suggests any link to “white supremacists,” as was insinuated by Biden, who has made no apology.

But what these incidents, involving killings with racial connotations, portend is that crime, race, law and order will be blazing issues in 2022 and 2024. And as of now, Biden and his Democratic Party are not on the side of America’s majority.

The latest statistics on homicide and murders for 2021 seem to guarantee that this mega-issue remains front and center.

A day before Thanksgiving, The Washington Post reported that Washington, D.C., had recorded its 200th homicide this year, surpassing last year’s total five weeks before this year’s end. Homicides in 2020 were up 30% from 2019.

Though Baltimore has a smaller population than D.C., there have been 300 killings there this year, half again as many as in D.C.

In Philadelphia, America’s sixth most populous city, there have been 503 victims of homicides thus far in 2021, a new record.

Who is doing all this shooting, knifing and killing on the savage streets of our great cities, and who are the principal victims?

Heather Mac Donald, among the nation’s foremost statisticians of crime, relates, using the figures for New York:

“In 2020, blacks were over 72% of all shooting suspects; we know that from victim and witness descriptions. Whites were 1.4% of all shooting suspects … based on victim and witness descriptions.”

“A black New Yorker is roughly 50 times as likely to commit a shooting as a white New Yorker. Blacks were 63.4% of murder suspects; whites, 6.3%. (That white share of homicide suspects represents domestic violence incidents, not street crime.)”

Bottom line: Disproportionately, the perpetrators, the shooters and the killers in America, are Black. As are their victims. If Black Lives Matter wants to preserve Black lives, they should look to their own communities because that is whence almost all of the killers come.

Indeed, of all of the Black folks who will have died of homicide or murder in D.C., Baltimore, Philly and New York this year, how many will have been shot or stabbed by Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, white vigilantes, white supremacists or rogue white cops?

2022 and 2024 could prove to be a political rerun of the mid-’60s. Then it was that “law and order,” a slogan liberals called code words for racism, helped propel conservatives to preeminence in the GOP and thence to national power.

And between then and now, the similarities are many.

Then, there were the riots in Harlem and Watts in 1964 and 1965, Newark and Detroit in 1967, and D.C. and 100 other cities after the killing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. During those years, there was also a national explosion in violent street crime.

Then came the anti-war protests and riots, which kept Lyndon B. Johnson locked up in the White House in his final days in 1968 and tore apart the Democratic convention in Chicago.

Today’s Democratic Party is associated with defunding the police, ending cash bail for arrested felons, emptying prisons, and embracing the BLM and antifa “social justice protests” of 2020 that often involved looting, arson and assaults upon police.

As for Biden, the 2021 model bears little resemblance to the tough-talking Delaware senator who pushed the principal anti-crime bill of the 1990s and explained his approach in a 1994 Senate speech:

“Every time Richard Nixon, when he was running in 1972, would say, ‘Law and order,’ the Democratic match or response was, ‘Law and order with justice’ — whatever that meant. And I would say, ‘Lock the S.O.B.s up.’”

Today, the progressive wing of his party prevents Biden from taking that kind of stand. But that is what his country is calling for.

Sorry Pat, no one cares about blacks killing blacks in the cities. What we care about is our Constitution is under attack by lawless Marxists who seek to kill as many people as possible with the deadly Covid shots.

Defund the police I say, they only stand to protect the elites , yeah they do investigate crime and generate revenue through traffic citations but we have too many police and their budgets are absolutely ridiculous. Inner city blacks pose no threat to the elites and the tyrants , they’re all fighting over dope deals and Nike sneakers.

It has been evident and understood for quite some time that it is mainly black people within majority black communities which are committing most of the crime against other people of color. The people trying to politicize this issue into a racism issue about white people are white liberal progressives that are “again” using the issues of the black community as a bludgeon to obliterate any opposition from any critical thinker opposed to their point of view or the agenda of control they are trying to establish. The seemingly most racist people today are white liberal progressive usurping and, even worse, constructing narratives that falsely paint situations into issues about race. They want to dictate control so long as those dictates don’t or won’t apply to themselves.

The Law

The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!

If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it.

http://bastiat.org/en/the_law.html

” What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

Each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our individuality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties? If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly.”

Edited to add the last quote… can anyone imagine how fervently those guiding and controlling Biden hope an armed group does something so he can have an excuse to seize guns?

There is no law except for the white dirt people like you and I.

The vast, vast majority of people in the no-longer-united-states have always been pretty faithful to the law, and still are. That includes “laws” about specious disease eradication, laws requiring children to attend mandatory indoctrination (they no longer pretend to educate) centers, laws requiring “background checks” for the possession of objects which “shall not be infringed”, laws requiring humiliating, useless searches of the body to access private sector travel, and on and on. I think Eric Peters does as good a job as anyone pointing it out, and Quinny carries him here for us.

We are WAY too law abiding, if you ask me.

Australian MP Calls on Citizens to Revolt – Compares Leaders to Hitler and Stalin

Anonymous Conservative had this to say about the article….

From surveillance, to vaccine mandates, to the destruction of the nation, to everything else, the other side does not know moderation or reason, and it is always advancing toward the horrific endpoint of their objectives. If it is not resisted, slavery and destruction is inevitable. And if it is resisted, the only resistance of any use will be violence. If you look at it logically, individuals on one side or the other are going to die, inevitably, before some form of balance is found. There is just no other way.

Now that you have accepted that blacks are the problem, What to do about it? Lock more up? Keep them in “zones”? Spend more money on them to educate them in the ways of western man? Give them more free stuff?
Nothing has worked and it is time to recognize that they cannot/will not conform to a western system, by and large, and it is inhumane to expect them to do so when it is so obviously foreign to them. They cannot comprehend western civilization. The humane thing to do, for both blacks and whites, is to repatriate them with their homeland where there is a system they can understand and relate to.
As we all know that whites are being replaced by Brown and black third worlders who know nearly nothing about a first world country, let alone a first world western country, it is time to stop the denial and accept that the only way this country survives is through homogeneity. This country was founded on systems from western whites by western whites for western whites. Anything less is slow suicide.
