Trump Will Not Denounce Armed Americans Acting If Police Stand Down
Now let s be clear: that teenager should not have been there. He should have been at a movie with his friends, not playing cop in a violent riot zone. But that doesn t change the basic fact that Americans have the right to use guns to protect their property and property in their communities, especially if the police are not allowed or otherwise unable to do so.
This is a tale as old as America, whether it was homesteaders in the old West, or Korean storeowners during the Los Angeles riots. Americans are not going to see their life s work destroyed because feckless Democratic mayors refuse to enforce the law. Pretending that armed citizens reacting to widespread destruction by trying to stop felonious behavior and riots are responsible for the riots is as absurd as blaming Trump for them. They are the fault of the leftist rioters themselves, and nobody else.
The corporate media think they have Trump in some kind of trap as if he has to denounce this or else his criticisms of Biden staffers and Kamala Harris helping bail out rioters are hypocritical. But they aren t. Telling Americans they have the right to defend their property is still a popular message maybe not in the Hamptons or among celebrities and Democratic politicians with private security, but it sure is with many, many Americans.
This is very blunt, I must say.
