I have an even BETTER idea. Let the mayor make his “emergency declaration” BEFORE the rioters tear up and destroy the center of his city.
He waited until the damage had been done, and the rioter had gone back to the “welfare pay-out office” and then made his grand pronouncement.
There was a time when “Rioters and Looters WILL be shot.”
In today’s America, only lawbreakers seem to have the full protection of the law.
We are so ($#&*@(&$*@*(!
Corrupt, criminal lib-dem mayors are cowards and always wait until “the protected class” - regardless of their stripe - is well out of harm’s way, before making bold declarations of action. By then, it’s way too late and the damage is already done.
Philly’s Rizzuto and Chicago’s Daley didn’t have a problem with issuing those orders.
