Leftists Love Criminals

You will never understand the Left until you understand that they reliably take the side of  criminals, who comprise their clientele and path to power, over the law-abiding.   And with lefties it is always about power and control, first, foremost,  and forever.

Here we read about a 78-year-old Englishman who, in defending himself against a screwdriver-wielding home invader, caused the miscreant's death and is now facing a murder charge.

Dear old England, the mother country. It is sad to see your mother, senile and decrepit, go down the toilet, having lost all her moral sense and the will to live.

Examples such as this one, like entities, are easily multiplied; unlike entities, however, citations of leftist assaults on justice  are not likely to be multiplied beyond necessity.

Here is another example, a recent one, from Minnesota, for your delectation, or rather, disgust.

Once again one sees the justification for my political burden of proof:

As contemporary 'liberals' become ever more extreme, they increasingly assume what I call the political burden of proof.  The onus is now on them to defeat the presumption that they are so  morally and intellectually obtuse as not to be worth talking to.

Actually, that is far too mild a statement. Perhaps tomorrow I will tell you what I really think.

One reason why the London Bobbies of old were able to go about without firearms, is because in years previous to that, when there were serious crime problems in Merry Old England, the gnarly Brits found the criminals, and hanged the lot of them, as this link relates:

O Mother Country, I do love you.

Our Founders wanted nothing of the barbarity of Merry Olde England, as depicted at the linked site, which is why our Constitution forbids "cruel and unusual punishment." But now we have gone to the opposite extreme.

There are 'liberals' nowadays, so far gone in their willful self-enstupidation, as to argue that lethal injection is "cruel and unusual."

Justice demands capital punishment in certain cases. Anyone who doesn't see that is morally obtuse.

One of my favorite Architecture professors, a Scott, called capital punishment "basic social hygiene." I think he was right in most cases.

Hygienes are legion: bodily, intellectual, social . . .

Should queers be put to death? Of course not.

To fully savor the insanity of the Left, see here: https://reason.com/2023/10/27/the-contradictions-of-queers-for-palestine/

>>When it comes to "Queers for Palestine," what's richly ironic is that many LGBT Palestinians seek asylum in Israel—the same country these stateside protesters are rallying against.

At the heart of this contradiction is the tendency within social justice movements to pick a clear protagonist and antagonist, the oppressed and the oppressor, and to proceed from there in one-size-fits-all fashion. Some progressives decided long ago that Palestine is the former and Israel is the latter, which is the seed from which everything must grow. Palestine, then, stands not only for anti-colonialism but also LGBT rights and reproductive rights, despite that those rights, in any meaningful sense of the word, do not actually exist there.<<
