DonDiego Suggests It Is Time For . . .

"Civil disobedience" is the Thoreau/Gandhi/Martin Luther King Jr. way of protesting. I don't suppose that's what you really meant.

DonDiego by shear coincidence my wife and I stopped at that store two days before this happened.

I have stopped there several times through the years enroute to see my mother in law.

I wish it had the same outcome as the internet cafe robbery.

Nah....Try this instead....................

The clerk should be given either 1 of 3 things to do as he pleases:

A hand grenade
A 18" long vibrator with 4 inch metal sharpned spikes dipped in human waste (folded upon insertion, expand when trying to be pulled out)
A baseball bat covered in barb wire


Once finished, the bodies should be impaled and staked upside down in full view of city hall. "brought to you by, the sons of Vlad"

Americans can be proud that US homicide and violent crime rates are at the lowest levels they've been in twenty years.


Violent crime rates per 100,000 population

The homicide rate was twice as high in 1981 and 1991. Twice is a LOT!

In fact, today's homicide rate is lower than it was in 1960, a time some uninformed people was crime-free.

Every homicide is awful and requires stiff punishment. But don't lose perspective. The good ol' days were worse.

WTF? We have someone on this board who has some very serious mental problems.

I'm sure the severely beaten man really appreciates that the crime rate is currently lower after nearly losing his life. Unbelievable.

Another incomplete chart from Forky as the chart stops in 2009. Crime rates, particularly homicide is up in most cities in 2012.

Calling for a lynch mob, just like Jesus would.

DonDiego is surprised at the number of responders who are so quick to embrace vengeance justice, . . . over the "rule of law". Of course there's always party-poopers and those who find the legal system preferable.

DonDiego supposes the "rule of law" already weakened with the "rule of regulation" by an ever-expanding Government will be most difficult to adhere to in a few years.
Unless the United States of America is truly immune to the effects of . . . the explosion of cronyism and fraud in the entire financial/governmental industry, . . . the intrusion of the Government ever-faster into the lives of its citizenry, . . . and the ever-faster-increasing debt, which cannot ever be repaid.
Historically these symptoms lead to horrendous inflation, depression, totalitarianism, or all three. But maybe things'll be different this time, . . . maybe it can't happen here.
Maybe.

P.S. DonDiego is not trying to influence any reader's political decision. He's just expounding on some selected historical events and and the cause-and-effect relationship noted therefrom. So far as Election 2012, . . . it pr'bly won't make much difference for whom one votes.
DonDiego doesn't care if someone calls it a "political thread" or not, . . . just doesn't matter. Maybe there is someone who truly favors cronyism and fraud, intrusion into his affairs, and increasing indebtedness. Little surprises poor old DonDiego any more.

I'm sure DonDiego cheered when Wall Street and the investment banking industry was substantially deregulated about a dozen years ago.

How's that working out?
