NY spent more resources and manpower to capture and kill a squirrel then they do to investigate an average citizens murder. Now one CEO gets offed and they get a special emergency hot line.

If this dosent say f u peasants anymore loudly...

I hear it but when such a large swathe of your population are cheering on the killer, echoing his desires and intents, which isn’t as prevalent with “peasant” murders, this is kinda the only option. They wouldn’t have even thought that would be necessary if half of America wasn’t mentally unwell that they believe people should be killed because; they disagree with their politics, beliefs or how wealthy they managed to become.

I agree murder is a terrible thing. However, how long should we attempt to change things for the betterment of the common person? Where every avenue is stimeied by legislation, delays/time, and money? The common person is left with little recourse.

Drastic action is taken by the few to spurn the masses. Sometimes, violence is the answer after diplomacy is exhausted. This is repeated through history in every empire.

The disconnect of "leaders" and "the people" becomes too wide that the divide causes a breaking point. Clash, then, is inevitable.

The same people that want anarchy and that kind of uprising are far left and inherently want the police to stay out of everyone’s business including the heinous criminals who commit the kinds of crimes you’re talking about. They slander and hate the police and don’t believe they are fit to enforce the laws on them. They make it hard for police to do their job effectively by putting up barriers. Then complain when the crime isn’t solved whilst simultaneously not “snitching”, cooperating with the law, being helpful and inviting the police in to their communities willingly so they can clean up crime.
