Keeping us safe

Keeping us safe {uh, really?}

Recently, some schmucks posted in the social media cesspool sending “thanks” to the Hoboken police department for “keeping us safe” during the Fall Arts & Music Festival last weekend.

Really?

If true, that would mean one or more of the following:

• They actually prevented “bomb” from exploding in the crowd.
• They stopped a mass riot from taking place.
• They arrested one or more individuals intent on harming innocent others before they had the chance.

You get the point.

The festival would have been fine without the “increased” police presence. We’ve been to other festivals that had NO police on site (other than an officer outside the event helping with traffic). Just the event volunteers were more than enough to keep an eye on the crowds.

Parroting liberal ideals

These people that “cheer” on the police – are essentially cheering on the government. Those same people also root for our constitutional rights to be stripped (i.e., guns to protect yourself). Or for happily paying higher property ransoms each quarter without question.

Relying on “big brother” to keep you and your family safe is a terrible proposition to get accustomed to.

And has bad long-term prospects.

I wonder if those people ever really think about what all of it means in the big picture. Whatever happened to the concept of taking care of yourself?

“Keeping us safe” is just a euphemism for “kneeling for your controllers.”
