The time for flowery talk and hugs is over. The nationwide orgy of looting has NOTHING to do with a cop in Minneapolis killing a black man.
It’s time for law enforcement in McLean County – and elsewhere across Illinois and America – to take action against looters. These hooligans aren’t protesting at oh-dark-thirty. They’re opportunistic criminals. The police need to take action. If they can’t (or won’t because they’ve been hamstrung by local mayors or their appointed politician police chiefs), then with a few days America’s gun owners will take care of the problem.
Just as good guy gun owners did in Ferguson, MO a few years ago when politicians tied the cops’ hands behind their backs. Rioting in Ferguson ended within a day or two when gun owners, not cops, stood on rooftops and made it clear that arsonists would be promptly shot on sight. And maybe looters too.
Here in my hometown of Bloomington – Normal, tensions are high.
Walmart’s buttoned up in Normal, IL. They expect to lose the place tonight. All knives, ammo, electronics have been put away. Surprised they haven’t done the same for the liquor. Boarded up doors and barricaded them.
The same for the jewelry stores, liquor stores and many other businesses.
That’s not a vote of confidence for Mayors Koos and Renner or our local police for maintaining law and order.
And I’ve heard plenty of other similar reports of boarding up of businesses in other cities. They don’t trust their local leadership or local police to maintain order either.
And that’s a shame.
