The chickens are coming home to roost...
« on: December 22, 2021, 08:52:50 PM »
Two Democratic proponents of "police reform" have gotten a first hand view of America's crime surge, one in Illinois and one in Philadelphia.

The two were carjacked at gunpoint in incidents about 24 hours apart.

Looks like they caught the Philly carjackers. I'm sure the fast apprehension had nothing to do with the victim's status and every law enforcement agency in the country being on the case. It will be interesting to see if the carjackers get cut loose like they would for a regular citizen or if they get the book thrown at them.

As I  used to say, it only takes one good mugging (or in this case, carjacking) to change some peoples' minds.

You would hope but nowadays it's more likely they'll do an Obama style double down. After blaming Trump, white racism, republicans and big business of course.

You came up with that? The version I heard is actually "A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged" and it's a pleasure to learn where that saying originated.  ;)

Oh, and that feeling we're all getting? The Germans had a word for it - schadenfreude - which means "the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another."
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Well they obviously are Trump loving fascist insurrectionist white supremacists, after all.

So it looks like the husband of one of the politicians opened fire on the carjackers. I wonder what her stance is on other people carrying guns for self-defense?

One of the big local lefties, in my neighborhood, got carjacked, and announced that she was on the side of the carjackers.
 
Part of me wants to post her address, and auto type, on a bunch of telephone pole broadsides on the north side.
