May 4, 1970, the day which still lives in infamy, when the National Guard arrived on campus at Kent State and inexplicably shot dead unarmed students.

"We should not be afraid. THEY should be afraid," Trump has told his fans.
And this is the way you do that.
Send in the National Guard and shoot a few people as an example to the others.
Nixon called the Kent State students "Bums."
The folks in Kent, Ohio, as James Mitchener documented in his book, "Kent State," thought the university students were worse than that. They thought those students deserved it.
What was incomprehensible to us on that day, that those guard soldiers would hate students enough to shoot them in cold blood, became more comprehensible, as you read through Mitchener's pages: There was deep seeded resentment among the blue collar folk of that town, and their sons, who were in uniform with guns exercised that resentment toward the rich, privileged, pampered students.
Those who would today be called leftist, elitist DEI advocates at universities Trump is trying to transform at best, and destroy at worst.
And so they shot them down.
It was very American, as My Lai attested.
Lyndon Johnson called out the Guard to DC after Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968, when city blocks were actually set on fire.

Then the Guard appeared with fixed bayonets in dangerous, burning parts of town, during an actual true serious emergency.

Not like now, when they are just strutting around the monuments and the Mall with nothing to do. There is no actual emergency in DC, at least not where the Guard is.

The Guard is running away from the nasties. They are just there for show.
And now, Mr. Trump sends National Guard to blue cities with the same intent, maybe.
Does he really want to provoke another Kent State?
Thus far, he has behaved only comically.
Friends from DC tell me the Guard patrols only the safest parts of town. They are nowhere to be seen in the actual dangerous parts of DC.

Puddin and pie.
Kissed the girls.
And made them cry.
But when the boys came out to play.
Georgie Porgie ran away.
Mad dog now seems locked in leftist fantasy word circa 1971.
ReplyDeleteHere is a report from the real world where people live
https://thehill.com/opinion/robbys-radar/5469044-dc-crime-drop-trump/amp/
The fake news New York Times today claims in a headline that the MN shooter’s motive was a mystery. Maybe they should actually read the FBI director statement as follows:
ReplyDelete“The barbaric attack from Robert Westman, the male subject, our teams have gathered information and evidence demonstrating this was an act of domestic terrorism motivated by a hate-filled ideology.
Some updates:
-Subject left multiple anti-Catholic, anti-religious references both in his manifesto and written on his firearms
-Subject expressed hatred and violence toward Jewish people, writing “Israel must fall,” “Free Palestine,” and using explicit language related to the Holocaust
-He wrote a an explicit call for violence against President Trump on a firearm magazine”
Leftists like Mad Dog don’t want to acknowledge facts like dc crime rate down dramatically and Thst the shooter is a toxic byproduct of leftist identity ideology. To avoid facts they engage in fanciful narratives.
ReplyDeleteNational guard mad dog also restored order in Minnesota after violent rioters nearly burned minn after George Floyd murder burning down a police station. Why no mention by you? I have been an advocate for military intervention in cities to restore order for decades. How an tens of thousands of lives have been
ReplyDeleteLost to dem mayors refusing to restore order. The killing streets of America have piles of bodies of young minority men while leftists incompetently governed. You sit in your lily white New Hampshire with your elitist leftist Ivy League credentials and could care less about those urban lives lost to bullets. That is pure racism.
More facts not leftist propaganda
ReplyDeleteOfficials from the Trump administration boast that violent crime has plummeted by more than 45 percent and property crimes by 12 percent since the federal push began. Local officials point out that while crime was already declining beforehand, the drops in some categories, including robbery and carjacking, have steepened since the push started.
“We already had good momentum coming into the federal surge, and it made it better,” said Kevin Donahue, the city administrator.
