The Natural Right of Self Defense

Twice now I have been restricted from Facebook for making posts that assert that business owners, law enforcement officers, National Guardsmen, and private citizens should have the right to use deadly force against robbers, looters, and rioters. This is only common sense. Why would Facebook be opposed to this concept? I realize that Facebook’s ownership has a liberal slant, but why would it be a liberal position that deadly force could not be used against lawlessness? After all, it certainly is not a liberal position that deadly force cannot be used against an unborn baby.

The answer is obvious. Smash and grab robberies, flash mobs, looting, and rioting are by far committed by black people. Just this past week in Buffalo, New York we saw the phenomenon of black looters taking advantage of a severe blizzard to loot stores. The mainstream media ignored this. Black criminality is, in the leftist view of things, a natural reaction to centuries of White oppression. In their view, we should just let it slide. And black criminals are taking full advantage of this attitude.

Until society as a whole wakes up and sanctions common-sense notions of self defense, black crime is going to get worse and worse. Consider Buffalo. The looting there was precipitated by a blizzard, not a police-involved shooting of a black person. In 1977 in New York City, wide-spread looting started almost immediately after a massive power blackout. Flash-mob looting occurs spontaneously under ordinary circumstances.

America has bent over backwards to redress past injustices against black people. Thirty trillion dollars has been spent on welfare, public housing, Medicaid, food stamps, and job training programs. Affirmative action, anti discrimination laws, minority set-asides for government contracts and other special treatment for blacks is the norm. But still black mobs rob and rape and loot and riot and destroy. And decent people, afraid of prosecution by the law that is supposed to protect them, are afraid to use deadly force to protect their property, their communities, their homes.

I think this is going to change. Common sense has a way of reasserting itself even in insane times. In the meantime, those of you have not done so already, get a gun and learn how to use it.
