The LAPD has a message for all of us: In the event of robbery, surrender your valuables. “If you are being robbed, do not resist the robbery suspects; cooperate and comply with their demands. Be a good witness.”
This is not exactly helpful. What would you tell the police when they arrive? He was wearing a hoodie, officer…
The Hoodie Posse is running California right now. You have to admire the brazenness of walking into Home Depot en masse to steal hammers and crowbars…then moving on to the mall for the next robbery.
Thieves drive late model cars to the site of their crimes, double park in the street. Why wouldn’t you? George Gascon is not sending anyone to jail. He would rather police your language. Don’t call them looters. Too much racial baggage.
There is a clear societal consensus against stealing, yet robbery is not enforced.
There is no consensus on vaccine mandates but they are enforced ruthlessly. Welcome to clown world.
“If you criticize me, you’re criticizing science,” declares Anthony Fauci, more than once. “Senators who ask questions are liars.”
Gavin Newsom has extended his ’emergency powers’ until March, making for two years of rule by administrative decree, unchallenged by the California legacy media or the legislature.
Everyone must get a booster, declared King Gavin, who rolled up his sleeve for the Moderna jab, then disappeared off the face of the earth for a week, failing to attend Cop26. He resurfaced at the Ivy Getty wedding.
If you want to understand California in one frame, here it is.
The perpetrator was wearing a car salesman grin and a lot of hair product, officer. He was accompanied by the Speaker of the House. The billionaires granddaughter was quite smashing. The gala was a paid for by fossil fuel wealth, passing down to the fourth generation. All the guests were given a tax cut from Nancy. No, seriously.
I’m making my witness. Am I cooperating enough?
The “vaccines” neither prevent transmission nor infection and lose efficacy after six months. They no longer correlate with hospitalization or death rates. Why do we continue to refer to the jab as a vaccine?
Why do we yearn for the leash? Why are so many of us acting like a conquered people?
We are living out a society-wide version of Flowers for Algernon, losing our collective intelligence, cognizant our maxims of prudence are slipping away, yet at the same time incapable of course correction. So far.
Writing about diners surrendering their valuables table side without resistance and ending up writing about vaccine efficacy is very on brand for 2021.
It’s really about the loss of civic guardrails that maintain trust. To ask these questions is my way of being a good witness.
The answer is not a booster shot.
