Domestic Turbulence
The public in the West is tired and angry that their leaders are not protecting them.
In any mammalian group, the leaders’ task is to ensure the group’s safety. When they fail to do that, they are replaced. They either lose to outside groups or are defeated by opponents within the group.
For at least sixty years, the Democratic Party leadership has tried to understand the difficult life of the criminal rather than the harm suffered by the victims. They have looked out for the outcast and don’t care about the burdens imposed on the typical diligent, self-disciplined American serfs. The self-anointed saviors of the world care for those who can’t care for themselves.
There has been no limit to this scheme, and it is not without a political payoff. Large numbers of foreigners who have only allegiance to the Democratic Party are added to the population. All the social workers and organizations that received funding to care for these individuals know which party should get their money and votes.
Churches benefit. In some cases, they recruit new members to offset losses among prior members. They also collect funds and provide social services for new arrivals. That money comes from the taxes of the existing citizens.
We never stop hearing about the deaths of self-appointed guardians of illegal aliens who interfere with law enforcement. But let me remind you about two cases in North Carolina where the failure of state and local government to protect the public led to the death of innocents. I am doing this because the same media and Democrats (I repeat myself) who want you to cry rivers over those who interfered in Minneapolis didn’t stop talking about these cases fast enough.
Ironically, the first case involved the death of a legal immigrant. Iryna Zarutska was a Ukrainian immigrant riding on mass transit in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was murdered in a random attack. Her assailant was someone who court records show:
had a lengthy criminal history spanning nearly two decades, including repeated failures to appear in court and multiple charges that were ultimately dismissed …
The current Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate is former Attorney General and Governor Roy Cooper, who held those positions while the assailant was racking up this record. He and his successor as Governor, Josh Stein, are more concerned with addressing the “root causes” of crime than with protecting the public.
In another North Carolina case, an illegal immigrant was driving drunk, crossed over into oncoming traffic, and caused the death of two young people.
The young man, Fletcher Harris, was a junior at Catawba College, where he was double-majoring in environmental sustainability and biology, and made the dean’s list every semester while also serving as a goalkeeper for the school’s soccer team. The young lady, Skylar Provenza, was about to start her career at Datre Hair Co., her family said. She had been on the softball and cheer teams in high school.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noam noted that ICE has lodged a detainer against the drunk driver, seeking custody of him should he be released from Rowan County Jail at any time. Democratic leaders in the state have boasted that they will not cooperate with those detainers. Will Rowan County officials honor the detainer? I wonder how the parents and friends of the two young people feel about state law enforcement protecting someone whose illegal actions contributed to the death of a loved one or friend.
Some Democrats and members of the media try to argue that they are acting in response to unusually harsh actions by President Trump. The reverse is true. Trump is a reaction to a “soft on crime” approach by leadership not only in the United States but throughout the West. It has been going on for a long time.
In 1988, the older George Bush was running against Michael Dukakis and arguing that, as governor of Massachusetts, Dukakis had been soft on crime and released a dangerous criminal from jail. In a debate, Dukakis was asked what he would do if his wife were threatened or harmed. His response was meek, confused, and ambiguous. It cemented in the voters’ minds the idea that he would not be serious about protecting women from violent criminals.
Trump talks about “angel” parents who have lost children to violent deaths due to the presence of people here illegally. When media and politicians ignore the suffering of those people, another layer of pain is added.
The same thing is happening in Europe and causing an intense reaction. When the current British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, was the lead prosecutor, many British girls were kidnapped, raped, and groomed as prostitutes by recent immigrants, and officials did nothing to stop it.
European and American women have extraordinarily little protection. This will not continue. A day will come when relatives will have had enough, and those in charge will pay a price. It will forever be remembered and marked on calendars like Bastille Day or July 4th. But it is coming.
