I've been watching videos of blue sanctuary cities going down after reducing their police budgets.


Homelessness, drug issues, crime, etc.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.


People walking around like zombies (no kidding).

Retail stores are closing up faster than I've ever seen before.

Big stores too.


Folks just walking in with garbage bags and cleaning out stores.

No surprise in any of this. Many have been predicting it for years, it just took longer than expected. People think it is "mean" to have broken-window law enforcement but forget what places like NYC were like before we had it. It will probably take a decade or more of living in the dystopia before people start voting in someone who will do something about it. They would rather live in squalor than under dem wascally wepublicans.
The President is a fink.

That zombie drug is something else.

It's like watching that Walking Dead movie.


I've been watching the videos for about 2 weeks.

Dadeville, AL mass shooting happened last night about 10:30 PM.

Several killed.

But it's strange because the info is not flowing freely.

So something could be weird about this one.

Tough to provide anymore info.

I've read a wide variety of info but don't trust any of it except a very small article with very little info.

So it's like they're holding back for some reason.

That's weird.

I suspect info is sparse on the Dadeville shooting for several reasons.

The victims are minors so there are privacy issues as to naming them.

It's an active investigation: cops don't want to put out info that the killer could benefit from.

At least one of the victims is black, so there are "woke" considerations as well.

Originally, I had read 32 ambulances were involved but I didn't write it.

That'd make sense if 4 were killed and 28 wounded, like the NY Post is now reporting.

One can only imagine how much money they are willing to offer to stop this trial. It has to be staggering…
