Causality & tinfoil hats: Baltimore edition
Posted: Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:27:26
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?
