Causality & tinfoil hats: Baltimore edition

[Mindflayer]

If you recall, when the riots were occurring, the Mayor of Baltimore gave the thugs "space to destroy". One thing I noticed immediately when watching the events unfold on TV is just how many police vehicles were trashed. Now, most police vehicles have several firearms in them - a carbine and/or a shotgun. Some police reported they had no time to get out or secure their vehicles before their car was totaled.... Which left me thinking many of those thugs grabbed the firearms in the vehicles.

Now, the crime/murder rate is through the roof and the Administrations are arguing that this means America needs more gun control. It seems to me that these very same folks are the ones that threw gasoline on the fire and provided thugs with illegally obtained firearms in the first place - kind of like, oh, I don't know, arming the Mexican cartels?

Is it just me, or does something smell mighty fishy here?

You know that its "rules for thee but not for me". Way would they toss stones through their glass windows when you are just sitting there.

Besides, its all about control. Always has been. Always will be. And you can't control people if they are educated, willing and able to provide for yourself, and arm able to defend yourself. Control can be had if there is no dependency.

So, the education system is at less about education and more about indoctrination. What kids in the 6th grade learned in the 30's is college material today. Go read a Boy Scouting manual from the early part of the 20th century and see what they had to fo to earn badges.

Its everywhere, all the time, in all aspects of life.

I'm reminded of the passage from Cato's Letters:

"The exercise of despotick power is the unrelenting war of an armed tyrant upon his unarmed subjects..."
