Not in America, but,

Andrew Bolt:
"Australia disintegrating into hate-fuelled tribes."

There is a sickness in Australian culture, as the country disintegrates into tribes where hate rules and debate is dead.
More Australians claiming to be good are acting like the monsters they say they're fighting."

Sounds about right.
There's no other way.

In America we believe that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL and that is the foundation of our nation. Without that our nation would fall apart.

We have the Equal Opportunity Act of 1964, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and we have the ACLU, and without that then it would all fall apart.

There are nations in Africa where they never achieve anything and they never build anything because they are always fighting among themselves, and they are easily played by outsiders who want to steal their gold and diamonds and resources while they fight among themselves. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo had EQUAL RIGHTS for all people and justice for all, then they would have been rich a long time ago, but they are always fighting among themselves.

California should be more wealthy than we are, but we are losing out because of gang violence and racism and crime. We need to clean California up and we need for all people to be equal and to have equal rights. I am not a criminal, and I should have the same right to sell hamburgers to tourists and to make money as anyone else here, we need to all have a right to make an honest living. We need to teach our people how to make honest money so that they do not have to resort to crime. We have 50,000 tourists per day in Anaheim, there is no reason for crime, we can all sell stuff to the tourists to make money.

Danny Trejo was an idiot, and he wasted a lot of time in prison, but he wised up, and now he acts, and he sells tacos to tourists, and that is the way it needs to be. The criminals need to be helped, like Danny Trejo was, to be honest and to make an honest living. Danny Trejo is setting a good example for the young guys in Los Angeles who are at risk, they can learn to cook tacos, and they can study acting, etc, there is no reason for crime.

And the Christians need to send buses around to pick up the homeless people to take them to Church on Sundays.

If we work together then we can have better lives here in California, instead of letting our state be destroyed by crime and gang violence, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Crime and gang violence?
The solutions are simple...round up all the criminals/gangbangers breaking the law and ship them off to a big new prison.
Shave their heads, dress them only in bloomer type white underwear type pants, and have such tight security they can't harm anyone inside the prison.

Maybe the new civil war will make things better;

More guns than people and a huge political divide.

with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, one can't help but wonder if the US is heading towards a potential civil war

[FlyingVProd]

Blessed are the peacemakers.

People are always trying to instigate violence in the USA, and we must stop them and keep the peace.

One time there was a fight on a playground at a school in Palmdale, and the fight was between a White child and a Black child, and the Black child died in the fight, I guess he hit his head on the cement in the fight. It was a horrible tragedy, and the way to prevent it would be to have adults on the playgrounds to monitor the children to make sure that the children behave properly, but in this case the adults failed to properly supervise the children.

So, because the child who died was Black, Louis Farrakhan came to Palmdale and declared that there was going to be a race war in the Antelope Valley because of the death of the Black kid. Instead of trying to bring everyone up to the level of civilized adults then Louis Farrakhan was trying to bring everyone down to the level of children fighting on the playground. Louis Farrakhan wanted a race war in my home town.

There was an Italian-American immigrant in my home town who was a successful businessman, his name was Frank Visco, and Frank Visco pulled Louis Farrakhan into a private room and had a private discussion with Louis Farrakhan, no one knows what was said at the private meeting, but after the meeting Louis Farrakhan quietly left town, and the race war never happened. Frank Visco made the peace.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

Salute,

Tony V.

Go Frank!
Was Frank Italian?

Go Frank!
Was Frank Italian?

Frank Visco was born in Sicily, in Italy, then he moved to my hometown, and he became very successful. He was a very successful man in the Antelope Valley. Blessed are the peacemakers.

Frank Visco even produced a movie, named "The Dukes" which I want to see eventually.

Christianity is moving quickly from a religion to a debilitating mental illness. It is at its worst and most deadly where it meets right wing politics.

Redstain gets it from his idol who ushered in the era of bullshit, failure and treason that defines the republican party and all right wing politics.

Thoughts, prayers, for real and not bullshit like republican thoughts and prayers, and gun reform though we will have to put your clusterfuck of a party in its box first stake though its heart, head cleanly separated and all.

Though you are climbing into the box all by yourselves now, Uncle Joe will be kind enough to nail you in and bury you when the time comes.

I wish I was not back here today. I wish this had passed last year. You know, when you go to the bank and you deposit money in the bank, there are armed police officers at the bank. Why? Because we want to protect the money we save. Why on earth do we protect a stupid deposit more than our children? We have an opportunity right now to double the police officers on campus and keep kids safe.

'Stupid deposit' ..people's savings/life savings.
A cashless society is the best kind...well up until now. Now it seems cash is best, as scammers are the new 'armed robbers'.

Back in the day, in banks, we had handguns in the tellers' boxes, in holsters under the counters...and the execs in the open office had handguns in their desks.
Handguns were banned in general society.
We were told/trained to only use the guns in defence of our lives, not the money.
Armed robbers used to break into the banks at night and hide, 'kidnap' the staff as they arrived for work, lock them in an office then in the strongroom when they left.
Or loiter in the bank at closing time, then spring a holdup, locking the staff in the strongroom when they left...hours before anyone was suspicious, only when family members didn't arrive home for dinner.
Hours in the strongroom with many staff...yikes, terrifying thought. What if you needed to go to the toilet. Or the air became suffocating.

Outraged staff *rioted*... breathing holes were built into strongrooms, the bolts in the massive strongroom door were locked open during the day, 2 combinations and two keys to unlock the combination mechanisms, 4 separate people were needed to shut the door.
Too too long, armed thugs needed to exit quickly.

Guns were replaced by counter to ceiling bullet proof 'glass' screens and keypad solid doors for entry to the back office.

Banks got "too hard" for the armed robbers, so they turned to easier targets with less security.

Physical barriers do work.

The bad people can walk thru locked steel doors?
Drive vehicles thru concrete/steel bollards?

Capitol guards escorted the protesters into and thru the building, including the guy with the horns and painted face.
No physical barriers of any kind, "come right in".
