    Appalachia is the poorest region in the country by a wide margin.

    Of course this is justice served - its call karma - bad law/legislation leads to bad things.

    When you have an authority/Gov't who has no respect for essential liberty - what does this teach our children -who then grow up with a lack of respect for essential liberty.

    I still haven't figured out why authorities are allowing it all.

    I've racked my brain over it...

    Been mapping out a road trip for the fall, thinking maybe it would be fairly safe by then. Nope, not now. C-19 is nothing compared to this new threat.

    We didn't have riots under the Bush Administration, or the Clinton administration before hand. Rules for radicals, antiFA, etc. The same people behind Acorn are the ones who are seeking to divide and conquer America.

    Basically, these are Lenin-lite wannabe clones.

    Might do some research because everything you just said was factually incorrect.

    I remember the Cincinnati riots in 2001. Last I checked George Bush was president.

    I tend to get my news online, and there is news everywhere. I used to care a great deal what Fake News covered, and I guess I have grown to have no real interest at all in what the liars on Fake News have to say. They are purveyors of political porn disinformation and propaganda, big marketing firms in search of eyeballs and clicks so that they can sell advertising. I see no reason to waste time on them.

    The killing of Floyd was unacceptable. What has happened over the last few nights in major cities of the United States is unacceptable. It has gotten worse because of federal and state passivity.

    https://www.nationalreview.com/2020...itutional-power-to-restore-order-he-must-act/

    Law enforcement is a vital response to any riotous uprising, but with the black eye these 4 dumb mouth-breathing killers put on law enforcement at the onset, law enforcement does not have the community support that need to propel them to do what needs to be done to restore and maintain order. The failure to enforce the laws without apology from the start of the upheaval last week has fueled its ferocity. Extremist groups are inciting and coordinating the assaults, killings and destruction of property. These groups are always on a hair-trigger, pouncing on any opportunity to make mayhem. The lack of resolved by State and Federal law enforcement has let things get badly out of control. Laws do not enforce themselves.

    Sadists are inflamed by passivity. Rioting spearheaded by extremists and anarchists feeds on itself, it does not exhaust itself with time and space. Passivity, conveying the message that the laws will not be enforced, is provocative. It increases the appetite for rioting, which is only sated once the sociopaths have run out of things to burn and loot.

    We watched the National Guard and Police repeatedly fail to restore order. Law enforcement and prosecutorial resources simply do not have the ability to effectively restore order in the face of widespread seditionist violence. It's time to apply different lawful tools and methods.

    Article IV of the Constitution guarantees every state a republican form of government, protection against invasion, and — on request of the state government — protection from domestic violence. In furtherance of this provision, Congress enacted legislation, most notably, the Insurrection Act of 1807, which empowers the president “to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy.” Obviously, suppressing such attacks requires deploying the United States armed forces as needed.

    The Insurrection Act was beefed up after Katrina to enable presidents to respond to natural disasters, public-health emergencies, terrorist attacks, and other catastrophic conditions. State governors worried that this amendment was a federal power grab that would erode the authority of state and local governments over their internal affairs, and thrust the military into domestic policing. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 had long barred the deployment of the armed forces for domestic law-enforcement purposes. Posse comitatus, however, has always been subject to express constitutional and statutory exceptions, and the Insurrection Act is such an exception.

    One effect of the Insurrection Act and its amendments has been to bolster the power of the federal government to respond to domestic terrorism. Although the Constitution calls for a state to request federal assistance to combat domestic violence before the president acts, that condition is more apparent than real.

    Article IV endows the president with unilateral authority to put down insurrection and invasion. “Insurrection,” of course, is a violent uprising against the authority of the state. Therefore, it encompasses the concept of broad-scale domestic violence. The Insurrection Act codifies this reality by expressly empowering the president to suppress domestic violence and conspiracies to carry it out.

    The modern Insurrection Act expands federal power to react to natural disasters and violent uprisings. Washington has an express constitutional obligation to protect the people of the states, and the republican form of government, from attack.

    Federal power in this regard is also reflected by the president’s authority over the National Guard. The Guard is composed of state units.

    While they serve their states, National Guard units, which are reserve components of the U.S. armed forces, have over time come under increasing control of the commander in chief. They may now be deployed at the president’s direction, even overseas, regardless of whether state governors object. Clearly, if the deployment is domestic, and ordered in response to violent attacks, it is imperative that federal and state governments cooperate in the name of state and national security.

    The president and governors must work together to restore order, including by deployment of the military where that is necessary. The Justice Department and state law enforcement, particularly the FBI and its Joint Terrorism Task Forces, must make it clear that lawbreakers will be arrested and serious crimes will be vigorously prosecuted. Anti-America must be made to understand that America has had enough.

    One would think most of these complaints could be best handled by a letter to Dear Abbey. :)
