Class Warfare has become genuine warfare and blood is spilling nationwide, not from standard criminal behavior, but as a result of the creation of an entire class of angry victims.
…that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. Understanding that many of you attended public school during the last twenty years and either ignored or glossed over the founding period of the United States of America, the above quote is from the Declaration of Independence, approved and signed on July 4, 1776.

In the progressive Statist world we could modify that statement to “Never let a tragedy or crime fail to become a crisis.” We have seen it play out time and again, a piece of human debris goes on a killing spree and the immediate reaction of the Progressive Statist is to pass more legislation. “There ought to be a law!” is the rallying cry. Never mind the fact murder and felonious assault are already illegal. We need more laws to keep us safe. At no time do the big government types or their sycophants in the media point to the human…
