Two suspects, seen from a video released by police, showed up in an older model black sedan and, at 8:20 p.m., opened fire in the area of 14th and Riggs in Washington DC, hitting two men and letting loose 20 shots before fleeing the scene. The location is within a mile of the White House and the blatant nature of the shooting, as well as the fact no arrests have been made, highlights dysfunctional priorities by local authorities.
While one man was a target and the other a bystander, neither received life-threatening injuries. Basically, the attackers, likely a members of a gang, cannot shoot straight. Criminals and gangs are being given more latitude because of the dysfunctional priorities of the Mayor and the President, whose focus is on fake threats from a bogeyman all aimed at moving the country toward a one-party police-state, albeit with very little real danger this design will ever succeed.
In June of last year, Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the extremely partisan phrase “Black Lives Matter” painted on 16th street near the White House, in an effort to discredit then President Trump and while demanding he remove federal troops from the capital in response to Democratic Party operators launching violent riots in the city to further undermine the President. The sedituous acts by Democratic operators have devolved now into a wave of violence which, while not as bad as the 90s, still represents a spike from 2019.
Today the city partially resembles a dystopian totalitarian capital with barbed wire and troops welcomed by the mayor in response to alleged an “threat” to “overthrow the government” from “white supremacists” or “the right” whose actual number in the United States and level of threat pales compared to the violent seditious acts by radical Democrats. The January 6th riot/storming of the Capitol, while reprehensible, has become the “proof” for a conspiracy theory perpetuated by the government itself that is on par with the now infamous false claims that the Spanish sunk the Maine, which led to the Spanish-American War.
The present Speaker of the House, one Nancy Pelosi, is convening a kangaroo-court like “investigation” into the January 6th events clearly aimed at criminalizing opponents of her Party’s authoritarian aims. Through exaggeration and lies, the goal is to turn all Republicans into pariahs and pave the way to one-party rule, transforming America into an alt-gendered, rainbow dystopia ruled from DC, on behalf of billionaire lordlings, by the few at the expense of the many. But while these aims are fantastical and will never succeed, the damage these dysfunctional and anti-American aims can cause may be considerable.
This “white supremacy” or “right wing” bogeyman has been used to justify attempts to silence critics of an authoritarian American administration and to justify the militarization of the capital. But while the President and the Mayor, both authoritarian Democrats, enjoy the robust show of force against phantom threats, the real threats of crimianls and gangs, sadly involving plenty of “black on black” killings, remains an afterthought of little concern to this pair.
A young girl of only 6 years was killed in another recent shooting which has also not resulted in any arrests.
Bowser and Biden continue to bang war drums and bandy about claims of insurrection against anyone who isn’t subordinated to the authoritarian Democratic Party, but they both remain unconcerned about the killings and terror stalking the nation’s capital from a real threat.
It would appear that for Democrats, protecting people from actual threats is a far lower priority than demonizing, delegitimizing, and even outlawing their opponent on spurious grounds and through stoking wild, exaggerated, bogeyman fears of fake insurrections and coups.
Never before, even as real criminals and gangs increasingly control the streets of our nation’s capital, has this country been closer to an actual form of extreme authoritarian dictat from one overwrought and extreme Party as it is now under a totalitarian leaning administration. While the likelihood Democrats will actually create the dictatorship or junta they seem to crave, the fact their priorities are so focused on phantoms and their fears directed toward delegitimizing their innocent opponents is enough to indict the entire Party as an anti-American cabal.
Regardless, the dysfunctional priorities of the Mayor and her friend and authoritarian ally in the White House are causing the needless loss of life and property among the residents of the city.
