Unintended Conquinces..ie the riots, the looting, the destruction of establishments

 Unintended Consequences

It boggles my mind to see the lack of short-term forward vision on the part of elected officials in mostly the Democratic run jurisdictions.  Is it not obvious that if you do away with policeman when you need a policeman there won't be any.  What good is a call to 911 if there's nobody there or if the telephone operator has nobody to send. .

I saw in the news today where a store owner in Baltimore said he planned to sue the city for not protecting his business when it was looted twice.  This he actually believe that the city of Baltimore is going to be giving him money to rebuild his business under the current conditions.  Is this not a pipe dream on his part or what.

I believe the major cities that we see on the news every night with the riots, pillaging, theft, etc. will very likely not rebuild any time in the near future.  Why would a rational person or for that matter, a commercial insurance company support that kind of activity knowing the history.  The idea that anyone or any organization or government is going to come in and provide free money to these entrepreneurs is more than just wishful thinking.

The federal government, i.e. years in mind tax dollars, have no obligation to fund or rebuild the destruction in Portland, Oregon or other liberal towns that fostered rioting, personal injury, and most importantly, the disrespect de-funding and nonsupport of law enforcement.  As the Queen purportedly once said, "let them eat cake".  No sympathy on my part.

Were I a police officer or other law enforcement person in any of these democratically controlled cities or states, I would be looking for another place to live.  I was told that Houston, Texas is advertising they need 400 new officers and would welcome any of these mistreated law enforcement persons.

As recently as today, 23 August, I read were City Councilman in Chicago and at least another major city is out there requesting law enforcement support.  Now that the peaceful protesters are showing up in their neighborhood.  What gall these people have.
