TheRealThing Wrote:Virginia police told to stand down at Charlottesville, now I wonder who might have the power to tell the police of Virginia to stand down? The controversy steeped Governor maybe? We are, IMHO, watching the destruction of this nation unfold right before our very eyes.
"Police were simply doing what they were ordered to do prior to the event. According to the ACLU of Virginia, police said, âWeâll not intervene until given command to do so.â ProPublica reported that state police and National Guardsmen watched for hours without trying to separate the protesters and counter protesters."

1 Timothy 1:9 (KJV)
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
SIR EDMUND BURKE----
âBut one of the first and most leading principles on which the commonwealth and the laws are consecrated, is lest the temporary possessors and life-renters in it, unmindful of what they have received from their ancestors, or of what is due to their posterity, should act as if they were the entire masters; that they should not think it amongst their rights to cut off the entail, or commit waste on the inheritance, by destroying at their pleasure the whole original fabric of their society; hazarding to leave to those who come after them, a ruin instead of an habitation - and teaching these successors as little to respect their contrivances, as they had themselves respected the institutions of their forefathers. By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of summer.â
Elisabeth Warren and the rest of the live for today crowd would love to be in the position of power so that they could make US policy, thank God they're not in that position yet. And despite all the denials, falsely interpreted Scriptural justifications for civil disobedience, and pretenses of brotherly love, the flies of summer are in our day, buzzing loudly. ABTW, is it just me or did anybody else notice that there has NEVER been an occasion in which conservatives were the ones out plundering, burning, assaulting and generally wreaking havoc? No, they're all too busy working to pay their taxes and fund all the public welfare programs so that he unemployed can go about their assault on this Republic.
By the way, ⬆ this is an interesting and good post to read, but would it not also be true to say that the conservative movement includes "we'd rather not have them fellers" like McVeigh and Nichols, and the militias, and the white supremacists? Similarly, true progressives have "we'd rather not have them fellers" like looters and police car torchers and shout'em downers. One does not highlight injustice by committing unjust, unlawful acts. We agree any and every time on that. In fact, the peaceful, passive resistance marchers of MLK Jr.'s SCLC were a powerful witness to the injustice as they were hosed and attacked by dogs and police batons.
