Terrorist groups kill people and engage in fear mongering in an attempt to gain recognition and influence. BLM already had massive influence, but the rioters rioted anyways. They did it because they wanted to riot, not because it would make a difference for their cause (they also possibly did it because they were hired). We'd see just as many idiots wearing BLM merch had there not been any rioting. Probably even more people wearing it.

I would never support burning small businesses, but there's something to be said for being ungovernable, recognizing the State as an adversary, not your friend. A lot of people here complain about activist DAs, but I'm not going to sit here and condemn them when right-wing activist DAs are exactly what I want. Wouldn't it be nice if BS, unconstitutional charges levelled against law-abiding gun owners never stuck? Would we really be worse off if federal law enforcement lost all its teeth? Wouldn't it be nice if all local enforcement of tyrannical state and federal laws just dissipated?

This kind of peaceful ungovernable country is possible, we just need to realize that the system works better when we're the ones breaking it into little pieces. Needless to say, I really like what I'm seeing with people on here waking up to the importance of local elections and precinct committees, although I'd like to hear of more people announcing they're running for the Sheriff's Office.

I don't want any activist judges. I want laws applied equally regardless of the person's race, class, or political affiliation.

That's it. It's that simple.

I think you're asking too much. Laws violating the Constitution came into force because no one was there to stop them from being enforced. Your way of thinking would be fine if the left played by the rules. We don't have right-wing politicians and judicial appointees who throw out unconstitutional laws. It happens once in a blue moon, but not in any meaningful way, and without a care for what the American public really feels.

We can have the rule of law when the majority of both left and right are willing to see it through. Once upon a time that was actually true.
