“passed the point of no return”
Wow. All because of a few certain people.
Yes, all because of just a few certain people. This is quite logical. A single criminal can instill fear into many people. The Night Stalker should be a sufficient example; if not enough, look at Jack the Ripper and many more. Fear of a criminal (or, for exceedingly brave, just a concern that he might kill you or your loved ones) is a massive force multiplier. Terrorists know all about that because it's the cornerstone of their acts.
Besides, there are more than just a handful of criminals out there. In some places majority are criminals. That US territory is already denied to you. As the USA continues on the way down, financially and economically, expect the crime rate to increase sharply. The police will simply take their sweet time to get to the scene, in part to protect themselves and in part because LEOs are laid off left and right, but ranks of criminals are growing. No wise person can dismiss this issue out of hand.
If you really think this degradation of civil society in America is all because of a few certain people I don't think you've been paying attention.
There is a big BIG number of people out there, 64,385,746 of whom took the time to vote for Barack Obama who send a clear message every day that says, "If you don't like the law ignore it." It is an example burned in the mantra of hip hop music. It is taught in schools and colleges and it is perpetuated by a significant number of the elected officials making headlines everyday.
Our attorney general gives passes to law breakers based on color. Our President tells ethnic voters they are in a war ...and bring your gun to the knife fight. This stuff isn't just a few certain people and it ain't going away.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT!
Yep; all because of a few certain people: Obama; Holder; ACLU; liberal judges; a "few" others.
