Don't worry, you'll still get arrested if you go to church.

Unless you're there to burn it of course. Then you're fine.

Sooner or later these thugs are going to move into the suburbs and beyond, they'll be in Trump country, prosecutors will NOT be lenient and understanding like they are in the big bad city. And that's assuming it gets to that point, people are highly likely to defend themselves and their property in places where a 911 call can mean a 20 minute or longer wait.

Funny to me none of these problems are taking place in deep red mountain states. I know where I'm retiring!

Police can't do crap about it because the purport who broke into the car or into someone's house, is a juvenile or under 16 or whatever the crap it is.
So, no point in arresting him for an overnight stay where he gets released the next day. Police is already tired of doing this over and over again. Their hands are simply tied due to political correctness.

So instead of not being able to go after these thugs, Police simply keeps sending reminders to tax payers to keep their cars and houses locked all the time.

Pretty soon, we will reach to a point where if YOUR car is parked in YOUR driveway, and its gets broken into? well, YOU will be blamed for owning the car. If you didn't have the car, it would've never been broken into. End of the story.

This is why you need to have firearms and protect your own property.

And this actually good about Missouri - anyone who breaks into your home, you can shoot them straight in the head without the care of facing any charges. Just shoot them, and you are good. The law fully protects you.

Which of these people were arrested for burning down businesses, attacking cops, looting????

Violating curfews, or being disruptive in public, misdemeanors, are not the crimes we keep people in jail for.

In Minnesota the law is so convoluted that I wouldn’t have a gun in my house because most likely it would wipe me out financially to fight the court case against me if I actually had to shoot someone in my house.

A business owner shot a looter in Minneapolis. Guess who they arrested.

Looks like this is having an impact after all...I wonder if 'peaceful protests' would have resulted in the same kinds of change?
