Denver CBS4 ^ | July 15 | Shaun Boyd

DENVER (CBS4) – State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg has had it. Seven weeks after vandals began tagging and trashing the Colorado State Capitol, he fired off a letter to Gov. Jared Polis asking what’s the holdup in removing all the graffiti, and why isn’t the state doing more to stop it in the first place.

The State Capitol is almost unrecognizable. The granite walls are covered in graffiti, windows and lights are shattered, and monuments and memorials are defaced or destroyed. Night after night, the vandals have come back to cause more damage.

“When the HELL are people going to wake up to that and take appropriate steps? Like shooting the anarchists. That would have been the appropriate reponse 120 years ago.”

Why not you?

Exactly. That’s what should happen, but we know it won’t. The cops won’t do anything, because they know they will be in trouble if they do.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:
1. Food and Shelter
2. Security
3 and on

If a politician cant promise security, they will not give a F what the rest of his policies are. They will vote their self interest.

Right. What about elected officials, governors, chiefs of police, etc? Society created their positions to bring law and order to exist to society. They are abrogating their public trust.

Why not just shoot the vandals?

Because Democrats run the city and state the vandals are doing the work of both.

.....I’ve pretty much always lived in Texas but I had a hundred acres up near Pitkin, Colorado for many years in the eighties and nineties that I visited frequently each year.

In those days, while riding my Goldwing up and down the highways of Colorado, I thought I died and went to heaven. Then the Liberals moved in and ruined it. Fortunately I sold out in the nineties.

A Liberal could fu an anvil with a rubber hammer!
