Written by Wes Walker on July 6, 2020 "Last week, a couple living in their palatial home watched as a mob* of vandals and trespassers broke down the gate of their private street and, reportedly, threatened them.
"After calling authorities at three different phone numbers — including the police — and learning that nobody would be coming to help them, they grabbed their weapons and met the crowd from the front yard.
"Mainstream so-called reporters immediately took the side of the ‘protesters’, and spoke disparagingly of the couple. Even Chris Cuomo tried to leverage that event into some kind of a bizarre Trump-is-racist swipe. They were having none of it.
"Having learned that authorities would leave them high and dry in a situation like this, and concerned that all the publicity would make them a target in the future, they found their own security. Sure enough, the crowds came back.
. . .
"With improved defensive barriers (but walls don’t work, right?), together with the presence of armed security, the rowdies more or less behaved themselves.
"But who knows whether they would have been similarly law-abiding if not met with a strong deterrent? They had already been trained to expect that law enforcement would be a no-show.
"We have already seen any number of examples where laws don’t even slow this crowd down. If they decide they have the justification to wreck something, they’re damned well going to do it unless met with a strong deterrent force. And this crowd is a natural hatred for any and all trappings of financial success, as though the only possible explanation for success is having cheated someone." . . .
*They were one of those "merry caravans"
