Violence and crime are already completely out of control all over the United States. In fact, you definitely wouldn’t want to be caught in the streets when hordes of our lawless young people are running wild. If things are this bad already, what is going to happen if the election in November does not go the way that leaders on the left want and they give the green light to millions of radicals to cause widespread chaos all over America? I think that we got a small preview of what this could look like during the riots of 2020. Unfortunately, since that time the open border policies of the Biden administration have allowed millions of extremely desperate people to come pouring into this country. The stage is being set for civil unrest on a scale that we have never seen before, and it certainly isn’t going to take much to push our society over the edge.
Just look at what is happening in New York City. Crime in the subway system is so bad that Governor Kathy Hochul has decided to call in the National Guard…
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending in the state National Guard to New York City to help police curb a surge in crime in the city’s subways.
Announcing a five-point plan on Wednesday, the Democratic governor said she was deploying 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
“For people who are thinking about bringing a gun or knife on the subway, at least this creates a deterrent effect. They might be thinking, ‘You know what, it just may just not be worth it because I listened to the mayor and I listened to the governor and they have a lot more people who are going to be checking my bags,'” Hochul said at a news conference in New York City.
Have things gotten so bad that we need to bring in soldiers with guns to keep order on the subways?
Apparently so.
Mass transit crime is also a major problem in Philadelphia, and it is being suggested that the National Guard should be deployed there too…
Transit Workers Union Local 234 President Brian Pollitt is demanding accountability from Gov. Josh Shapiro, Mayor Cherelle Parker, and SEPTA officials after a string of violent crimes on and around Philadelphia mass transit over the last few weeks.
In fact, he says he has been calling for National Guard deployment on SEPTA – similar to how New York City has deployed the National Guard on MTA – for four years, according to WKYW.
“I think that governor needs a round of applause because they’re going through the very same thing that we’re going through,” Pollitt said of New York City.
I thought that dealing with crime was what the police were supposed to do.
Unfortunately, police departments in major cities all over the country are now severely underfunded and understaffed.
In Pittsburgh, the situation is so dire that police will no longer respond to calls involving “theft, harassment, criminal mischief, and burglary”…
WPXI Channel 11 out of Pittsburgh reports that police will no longer be responding to calls that are not deemed to be “in-progress emergencies,” meaning theft, harassment, criminal mischief, and burglary alarms will essentially be ignored.
Such calls will Instead be redirected to an answer machine, according to the report which also notes that from 3 am to 7 am, the city’s six police stations will operate without desk officers present.
Only around 20 officers will be available for overnight shifts to cover the entire city, the report further notes, stating that the decision has been taken due to “understaffing.”
Seriously?
So if you own a home in Pittsburgh and someone is robbing you, what are you supposed to do?
We really have reached a point in our societal decline where the wheels are coming off right in front of our eyes.
In Oakland, crime is so bad that four out of the five Taco Bell restaurants in the city have completely closed their dining rooms…
Taco Bell restaurants in Oakland, California have been forced to suspend indoor dining indefinitely after being subjected to a series of robberies amid an unrelenting crime surge in the city, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Four of the five Taco Bell locations across the Bay Area city now have large signs hanging from their windows advising: ‘DINING ROOM CLOSED.’
Business has been restricted to drive-thru service only – a sad new reality for many customers and families hoping to sit down for a peaceful meal.
It may not be easy for a lot of people to admit, but we are rapidly becoming a third world country.
Theft is absolutely rampant in America today. Organized retail crime has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, and according to CNBC some of these groups actually have very sophisticated facilities that are “indistinguishable from other e-commerce distribution centers”…
But federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security’s law enforcement branch, said some crime groups are even more elaborate — and theft is just one facet of their enterprises.
“We’re talking about operations that have fleets of trucks, 18-wheelers that have palletized loads of stolen goods, that have cleaning crews that actually clean the goods to make them look brand new,” said Adam Parks, an assistant special agent in charge at HSI, which is the main federal agency investigating retail crime.
“Just like any business, they’ve invested their capital into business assets like shrink wrap machines, forklifts,” Parks, who works out of HSI’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana, office, told CNBC in an interview. “That is what organized theft looks like, and it actually is indistinguishable from other e-commerce distribution centers.”
We have never seen anything like this before.
If you follow my work on a regular basis, you know that I have been saying that a lot lately.
Our country has been totally transformed. At this point our youths are so lawless that even very young girls are committing acts of extreme violence…
The Missouri Attorney General is calling on the 15-year-old girl who beat another teen’s head into concrete to be tried as an adult.
The teenage victim is fighting for life in critical condition after her head was repeatedly smashed into the ground during a brawl near a Missouri high school.
AG Andrew Bailey announced on X: ‘This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere. I am praying for the victim.
‘The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide.’
Our streets are stained with blood from coast to coast, and more violent predators are being allowed in on a continual basis.
Earlier today, I came across an article about the 50 most violent cities in the world.
If you can believe it, 46 of them are actually in the western hemisphere…
To qualify for the list, a city (or metropolitan area) must have at least 300,000 inhabitants.
The calculations are based on the rate of homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
Of the 50 most violent cities on the 2023 list, 46 were in the Western Hemisphere.
The only exceptions were four cities in South Africa.
I suppose that most of you will not be surprised to learn that Mexico had the most cities on the list…
The country with the most violent cities on the list was our neighbor to the south, Mexico, with 16. In second place was Brazil, with 10 cities, followed by Colombia with eight.
The United States of America was #4 on the list with six cities.
With such extreme violence raging just across our southern border, you would think that our leaders would be doing all that they can to keep us safe.
But instead the Biden administration has been allowing millions upon millions of people to come pouring in.
Our migration crisis is fueling a growth explosion for criminal gangs all over the nation.
We are already experiencing a crime wave of epic proportions, but I am extremely concerned about what will happen if things go a certain way in November.
If they don’t win the election, leaders on the left may decide to make it very clear that it is time for “civil disobedience” on a massive scale.
I have been warning about civil unrest that would completely and utterly tear this country apart for many years, and I believe that we are now right on the brink of seeing that happen.
Many of our major cities have reached a point where they are literally on the verge of being ungovernable, and America is becoming a little bit more lawless with each passing day.
You’re absolutely right. They won’t be able to control what they’re trying to create. Not only will they have the American population against them, but the invaders will be menacing ALL Americans. The democrats want chaos-they’re gonna get it….
When all goes to hell in a handbasket it will be past time to call out the UNORGANIZED MILITIA of the US. That is every man who is not a member of the National Guard. “Except a few government employees.”

Be armed. Be ready. Your own life and that of your family may depend on it.
“Many of our major cities have reached a point where they are literally on the verge of being ungovernable, and America is becoming a little bit more lawless with each passing day.”
All by design, Comrades! All. By. Design.
Ah quit complaining, it all part of the grand plan.
They start cutting up rough again, or start up with their Burn-Loot-Murder crap...
Time to start ending bloodlines.
When Jehovah put David up against Goliath, he didn’t expect David to run and hide.
He expected David to ammo up and fight.
This is no different. Run and hide. We don’t WANT you if that is your mentality.
Are you fighting for the America that used to be? Or are you fighting because you're upset that they've destroyed the america that used to be?
Christians understand that when Christ returns he will set things right. And he won't need our help.
Christians have been waiting 1900 years for that.
Good luck.
I agree. The left is afraid that citizens will line the streets with the bodies of violent criminals. And we can't have THAT!
I guess this guy was on a drunken stupor back in the summer of 2020 when the antifa fascists and BLM left their safe, leftist cities and and got stomped in the suburbs and rural areas of America.
Then again, the article reads like typical clickbait trash designed for gloom and doom neurotics.
You forgot to use all caps. Know-it-alls are supposed to use all caps.
Aww.... cute.
I’m not scoffing, I’m telling you that waiting on the event that “no man may know the hour” Matt-24:36 for saving this Nation is stupid.
HE doesn’t dance to your tune and throughout the Bible are places where HE gives the faithful strength... but expects you to get your hand DIRTY.
Run along now. Don’t you have some hiding to do?
