Sipsey Street Irregulars: Martial law, schmartial law.

Martial law, schmartial law.

In the wake of stories like this: “F**k The Pizza Man, Set Him On Fire,” we are reassured by the "mainstream" media that the National Guard is ready for anything: "National Guard trains for civil unrest, rioting."

Right. Makes me feel better. Meanwhile Gerard Van der Leun has this prediction -- Joys in the Hood: Ramping Up for "The Long Hot Summer" of 2015

What's facing the nation in the Spring of 2015 is a whole smorgasbord of urban riot hot spots that have all been given permission from their leader Obama and his subordinates in state and local governments to riot and loot as soon as some pretext happens in their hood. It's a method of making sure that an update of "The Long Hot Summer of 1967" -- a record year for race riots with 159 riots -- is part of Obama's enduring legacy.

What we are seeing here is what happens when a racist like Obama strolls the country sloshing gasoline on ghettos for years and then warns the police to not, even if they are about to be "killed in the line of duty," to not ever make the smallest little spark.

It won't work. Sooner or later either the police, the urban rioters, or even more shadowy forces are going to start putting bullets into crowds of rioters. When that happens the rioters that have been harbored inside our cities and taught only dependency and violence will try to leave their urban spaces.

This, Van der Leun posits, would be a badness thing for the criminal underclass.

It not only didn't let them out, it kept them in - ensuring that the "black community" destroyed the correct stuff and looted the correct neighborhood. After all, now the correct legislators can demand more money allocation to cure the blight. Oops the "investment".

They don't want to let them out. Why? Exactly that which is implied. If they get out, they will "get it" alright.

What are the leaders with the courage to stand up and say SKIN COLOR DOESNT MATTER IN A NATION BUILT UPON EQUALITY?
Why will none of our "leaders" step up and call the bluff directly?
College entry? Job hiring? Skin color irrelevant.
Robbery or rape? Skin color irrelevant.
Election districting? Skin color irrelevant.
Business contracting, individual contracting? Skin color irrelevant.

1. During one of Miami's string of riots, (1980, 1983, 1989, 1992) my brother was a local cop assigned to a roadblock between our suburb and which was quiet and Opa Locka which wasn't. He asked if he could borrow my Mini-14 as his department didn't have enough. I agreed but only had a few rounds of .223 at the time. He said that wouldn't be a problem since the roadblock would have a National Guard backup and he could surely get some from them. When he asked the guard for some ammo they were embarrassed to admit they were not issued any.

2. After Hurricane Andrew the National Guard was deployed to the "dead zone" in deep South Dade. Some of the local thugs somehow knew they were deployed (again) with no ammo and managed to "acquire" more than one M16 at gunpoint from guardsmen. Within a few days the guard was relieved by elements of the 82nd Airborne. Apparently the thugs had trouble reading unit patches and tried to "acquire" a few more M16's from the paratroops with unhappy (for them) results.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
