I’m deeply ashamed that this isn’t happening in America every day.
I sometimes feel like I’m living in a country of castrated men. Eunuchs who will sing and dance forever, but are seemingly devoid of the testosterone required to actually fight back.
But who am I to complain? I haven’t shot any speed cameras, either. We’re of a different culture than the Europeans, who seem a bit more willing to riot and protest in the streets, and destroy public property as we see here. I think Americans are more likely to wait, and endure a lot of these encroachments quietly, while they prepare for the real fight.
I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this to happen in America. Why are we the last to do anything? Europe is doing more than we are doing at this point. And don’t give me that “Well, we are more civilized” crap. We need to go back to our “animal instincts” and start enforcing the law and restoring our Constitution and Bill of Rights with our 2nd Article Right.
We were the first country that always to fight back. Now we are the last country. So embarrassing and such a shame.
