The latest outrage by the Al Sharpton groupies, is for mass demonstrations and violence, protesting cops shooting blacks. It all began when an 18 year old husky black guy, (Brown), who had just completed robbing a convenience store, tried to take a gun from a police officer in his car, causing injuries to the policeman, and who shot the 18 year old, killing him. All the investigations by federal and every other investigative agency known to man, found no guilt on the part of the policeman, who quit his job, so much publicity and threats to him developed. Naturally, violence erupted, and black businesses were burned. The cop was NOT GUILTY, and was pronounced so, by those investigative agencies who tried their best to find him guilty. Try as they did, they could find no guilt.
Then, a New York City cop, foolishly strangled a black guy who was selling illegal cigarettes. Dumb, and he should be prosecuted. Last week, in Charleston South Carolina, a black motorist was stopped by a cop, because one of his tail lights was out. Fearing he would be arrested for lack of child support payments, he ran. Dumb. But ever more dumber, the cop shot and killed him. The cop is being charged with murder, as is logical. Maybe there have been a few others over the years, but those three, are what has caused morons by the thousands (excuse me, Democrats, liberals and blacks), to be parading in big cities, invading government offices, setting fires, blockading highways and railroads, and in general protesting three happenings, the first, which triggered it, is totally innocent, and the third, being rightfully charged with murder. I don’t know what will happen to the foolish cop in New York who strangled the guy selling black market cigarettes.
The obvious point, is that all three incidents will be legally, and rightfully cared for by the various police establishments. In Charleston South Carolina, the chief has ordered 250 body cameras to be worn by all his cops, so that there will be no misunderstanding if future events happen. Good for him, and maybe all cops should wear one, just as they now all have ’dash cams,’ to record what happens when someone is stopped.
The Obama crowd, who are those doing all the protesting and violence, never seem to care or even make note of the fact that maybe a hundred thousand cops never shot a black man, and that of the hundreds of black men who are shot and killed each year, usually they are shot by another black man. Remember please, that black males between the ages of 15 and 35, commit a huge majority of crimes and murders each year, and the negro race is but 12% of the population. Are those males maybe 2% of the population who commit the crimes?
I am reminded of an old "Gunsmoke" episode, when rowdy cowboys came into Dodge, and raised hell. Matt arrested some and restored order. The town council realized that rowdy cowboys spend a lot of money, and ordered Matt not to interfere. He did as he was told, and the violence escalated beyond control, with a councilman being killed. The council changed its mind, and Matt had a difficult time restoring order, which of course he did. (The great thing about westerns, old and new, are that the good guys always win in the end. Gunsmoke episodes, commercial free, are broadcast daily on the western channels if you have a cable of dish receiver). What would America be like if these protesting, violent, Democrat, idiots, had their way? Maybe that’s why I live in a small town, and for years have urged all my readers to, if possible, move to a small town also. The Sharpton gangs are all in St. Louis, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philly, etc, not in small towns, where there usually aren’t any blacks anyway, and if there are, they’re usually wonderful folk. Without the police, even with a few bad eggs, which are in all occupations, America would quickly become a smoldering ruin. The protesters, like councilmen in the Gunsmoke episode, might realize their folly, and decide to stay home, but it might be too late. My town had 400 new families move in last year, and I am certain all small towns have experienced similar population increases. Responsible people, who can, are leaving the big cities where the violence, pollution, traffic jams, and crime proliferate.
I know why American western movies, regardless of age, are so popular around the world. It’s because all the characters have guns, but the good guys always win, for one, but I am sure a strong second, is that the American West, has the best scenery in the world. Even eastern Americans who have never experienced the American Western scenery, must just be enthralled by the scenery in Western films. I’d take the San Juan mountain range (35 miles from me but visible from my window), over the Swiss Alps any day. I live in the American West, not stuffy Switzerland, where people going downtown dress formally. Nuts to that. I wear my Stetson cowboy hat and blue jeans everywhere. My favorite cowboy song has a line which says, "But if God doesn’t live in Colorado, I’m sure he spends a lot of time here."
