Be Awake!…Not Woke

It’s time for the average, decent, noble, patriots of the USA to awake! For decades we have been taught to call the police for every minutia instead of exercising some personal responsibility. I know this because I spent more than 25 years as a police officer. I served in every capacity, from patrolman to chief. Somewhere along the line, people stopped talking to others about issues and, instead, call the police to handle trivial matters when all that was needed was a simple conversation. That time has ended in many places and is ending in many others.

Another problem is that citizens have lost their inalienable right to have a firearm to defend themselves in many areas. They have had to depend on the police for safety and security. With the current social climate and the Democrat politicians defunding and dismantling the police, that may no longer be an option. This should be a lesson to the rest of us who are not in that situation that we must unite and stand firm.

The theme song for the show “Cops” said, “Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?” Now, the cops aren’t coming for you. The BLM and Antifa thugs are. This week in Washington, D.C., these thugs went into a restaurant where people were eating peacefully. They were yelling and threatening everyone to raise their fist in support of Black Lives Matter. They accosted anyone who refused. There have been three months of rioting, vandalism, and violence in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, and now Kenosha. It is only going to get worse between now and the election in November. I remember seeing videos of the New Black Panther Party harassing and intimidating voters in the last couple of elections. There’s no doubt that they, along with these other thugs, will do it again.

However, there is some hope. Where the BLM and Antifa have gone into the suburbs, there has been some pushback. When they have been confronted head-on by armed, organized citizens, they have fled. It wasn’t the police that caused them to run away, but the citizens. I suspect as these thugs attempt to move out of their Democrat-controlled safety zones and into the real America, these “woke” forces of Antifa and Black Lives Matter — mostly overindulged, pampered, under parented, overeducated, and spoiled children — are on the verge of a rude awakening.

The question is, “Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?” Will you stand with your neighbors, the hard-working, decent, peaceful, law-abiding people around you? Or, will you be hiding in the closet with your fist raised in submission just in case they break in and see you? I know where I will be standing.
