This might not end well...

"This a good time to stay hunkered and bunkered if you are outside of the big blue cities. If you are trapped inside a big blue city, this might be a good time to have a 'bug out' plan. When the 'ship hits the sand', it ain't going to be pretty. Not pretty at all."    

What is the latest goofy news which is surrounding our "summer of love" (thanks for that, Seattle Mayor)? Speaking of Seattle, as most know by now, CHAZ has been renamed CHOP. Seems the word "autonomous" was a bridge too far for some of the more cerebral thinkers in the CHAZ crowd. And - Seattle has just removed temporary barricades and replaced them with cement ones. Just trying to help out the cause, as the Seattle city leaders are also "down with the struggle". Meanwhile, CHOP is being run by a home grown "warlord", who extorts money from some of the more well healed who are stuck in CHOP. The President has threatened to put an end to this mess, sooner rather than later. 

Portland was in turmoil again last night, as for the umpteenth night in a row, unruly crowds have shut down a bridge. With squishy mayors and do nothing governors, cities who allow their highways and freeways to be turned into parking lots, are becoming common. Too common. Look for this fuse to grow very short, very soon. 

Atlanta might soon be charging the cop with some kind of crime for shooting the young black man who stole his taser. News flash. Not only will this cop get off with no conviction, no matter what he is charged with - he will also be re-instated. Why do I say that? As unfortunate as this situation was, the cop really did nothing wrong. If the young man who was passed out drunk in his car had only cooperated with the police, he would be drawing breath right now. Punching a cop, and then stealing one of his weapons, usually does not turn out well for the bad guy.

The four cops in Minneapolis will not be convicted of crimes which will suit the community. In fact, some or all of the three of the cops which did nothing but watch, might just get off with a slap on the wrist. Derek Chauvin will get more than a slap on the wrist, but not a conviction for second degree murder. Look for the drugs in Floyd's system at the time of his death to be the lynch-pin to this trial. Better have the National Guard at the ready. 

How is this all going to end? Not well, I am afraid. When the cops in Minneapolis or Atlanta don't get the punishment the community wants, look for riots and burning once again. When CHOP becomes too much of a pain for Seattle to put up with, look for a major battle to take place in that not so hallowed ground. It could get ugly and bloody, as many guns are rumored to be stashed in and around CHOP. But at the end of the day, CHOP and its warlord are going down.

If America really wants to heal from this COVID - 19 invasion, and have some things go back to sort of normal, we need our cities back. Crime in many of our big blue cities is skyrocketing, as the thugs and punks have become very emboldened. In St. Paul right now, there are broad daylight car jackings, by gangs of armed thugs. And the cops are not as aggressive as they once were, since nobody in their city seems to have their backs. So each of our big, blue cities have become powder kegs. Great places to stay far, far away from. As the summer gets hotter, the fuses will get shorter.

This a good time to stay hunkered and bunkered if you are outside of the big blue cities. If you are trapped inside a big blue city, this might be a good time to have a "bug out" plan. When the "ship hits the sand", it ain't going to be pretty. Not pretty at all.
