Todd Blodgett opinion: SHOOTERS WILL STOP LOOTERS

Todd Blodgett of Clear Lake Iowa is an accomplished writer and political strategist. He has been the most-popular writer in the history of the Globe Gazette, been published in numerous news publications, and has written a book, “Republican Crackhead.”

“Run up in here and see what happens”, a legally armed black man warned some would-be looters, as he and other African-Americans protected black-owned, Minneapolis businesses from violence-prone thieves.  They guarded property and prevented looting because, as The Wall Street Journal reported: ‘Twin Cities Cops stand and watch as Buildings burn’.  When protesters destroy property, and burn down police stations – as was done, in Minnesota – and commit assault and theft, then law enforcement must protect them and their property.  But for awhile in Minneapolis, that didn’t happen.  Why?  Democrats.

As Minnesota protesters boogied to Beyonce’ and quaffed MD-20/20 they shouted, “No justice, no peace; prosecute the PO-leece.”  But if such violence, theft and mindless destruction continues, innocent victims may respond with: You Loot, we Shoot.  And who’d blame them?  Any entrepreneurs charged with killing destructive thugs who steal TVs, IPods, etc., would be fearless defendants being harassed by justifiably fearful prosecutors.

Minneapolis firefighter Korboi Balla invested his life’s savings into his dream: Score’s Sports Bar.  Mr. Balla, who is black, was to have opened his bar in mid-March.  But the Covid-19 crisis delayed it until June 1.  Then, on May 27, his dream was destroyed, by violent looters protesting the unjust death of George Floyd.  Mr. Floyd, a black man, was killed by Minneapolis police officers; after allegedly trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, he tried to leave the store.  When police confronted him, he resisted arrest.  Video evidence indisputably shows excessive force: a cop placed a knee on his head, which violates Minnesota law.  As ex-GOP Congressman Trey Gowdy said, Mr. Floyd was murdered.  Though unarmed when arrested, Floyd was a convicted felon who’d served prison time for armed robbery.  The inhumane officer Derek Chauvin, now charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, is,  rightfully, locked up.  He can’t be executed, as Minnesota lacks capital punishment.  But why burn and destroy their cities, and loot from businesses which employ taxpayers, and leave even LESS money for services?  Creating even more victims is stupid, and undermines their legitimate cause.

As Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms admonished, “This is chaos.  You’re not protesting anything, running out with brown liquor, breaking windows… burning down our community.  You’re disgracing our city.”  Democrats castigated President Trump for tweeting, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”, but he’s correct.  Should law-abiding citizens be prohibited from arming themselves and shooting hoodlums who destroy and steal property?  Shamelessly, many Democrats say yes.  But what better way exists, to deter violence-prone troublemakers from committing such crimes?  Law-abiding Americans will benefit from the eradication of perps who burn and wreck structures, steal, and threaten innocent lives.  Racist cops who murder people should also be executed.   Where’s the downside?  After Calvin Horton broke into the Cadillac Pawn shop in East Lake, Minnesota, he tried to steal jewelry.  After ignoring warnings from the store’s black owner, the jeweler shot him, dead.  Police arrested him on murder charges; his store suffered massive damage and was looted.  But that’s what happens to decent, productive taxpayers when Leftists hold power.

Inevitably, innocent victims of such unwarranted, violent destruction and theft will retaliate, and won’t be arrested, unless they’re in states governed by Democrats.  Cruel cops who murder anyone must be punished to the fullest extent of the law – as should those who, irrespective of race, unjustly destroy and steal private property.  But until such losers are eradicated, this mayhem will continue.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who preached nonviolence, would be aghast at what’s transpiring.  That’s why law-abiding Americans, in order to avoid becoming victims, must be allowed to take out the trash.
