In 1889, May 1st, also known as “May Day” was chosen as the date for International Workers’ Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. It is a different celebration from the European cultural holiday of May Day, or the celebration of flowers.
You will not find ANTIFA dancing around a maypole. However, if, according to these reports, ANTIFA carries out their plans, there is likely to be widespread violence on Saturday May 1st.
SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) — Shocking comments were made during an online meeting of far-left activists in Sonoma County, discussing a possible protest for this Saturday.
Group leader: “It’s May Day, baby, like come out and take, take somethin’ over with us, I don’t, I don’t (bleep)-ing know.”
Member: “Let’s kill people. (laughs)”
Group Leader: “Let’s kill some cops.”
Member: “Yeah.“
The ABC7 I-Team has been investigating the group’s possible connection to recent acts of vandalism, including an incident at the former home of a Derek Chauvin defense witness one week ago. (read more)
That’s not a protest. They’re not actually standing against anything. They’re just out to be anarchists, plain and simple.
where’s garland? wrapped around some trannys head?
He’s in on it. He’s pursuing Giuliani, and anybody who was at the rally on Jan 6th. Personally, I think he’s getting revenge on the Repubs for refusing to the Dems to nominate him for SCOTUS when Trump was up for POTUS.
One might have thought that would be a disqualifying factor, the same as Democrats keep suggesting that certain conservative SCOTUS members should recuse from anything relating to any Democrats that opposed their nominations. But for some reason that never seems to be considered an impediment to their dispensation of justice. Weird, huh?
yep.
Great judicial temperament, right? Perfect as a justice.
Garland looks like an elderly woman, every notice?
An elderly woman has more balls!
looks like a judge with a vacuum pump under his robe.
Looking for White Supremacists under rocks, rocks that don’t exist as well.
FTA: “Since [the ABC7 I-Team has] been working on the story, Marb has been taking down his social media, both the public and private accounts.”
What we have here is a total lack of Commitment To The Cause.
Come on, Marb! Ya ain’t gonna win no Revolomution with that sorta attitude!
The anarchists are like the crazy uncle the mainstream Democrats keep locked in the attic. Hillary Clinton was a radical leftist once, now she’s greedier than J.D. Rockefeller. Obama claimed to be a leftist, now he buys multi-million $ beach houses, presumably doomed by global warming. How do these phonies deny their origins?
Socialism always, always fails. So, they’re reduced to the magical, mystical theory of anarchism: destroy it all and, like a phoenix, utopia will rise from the ashes. You don’t argue with crazy people, you segregate them. Portland is now the amusement park for leftist loonies.
This IS socialism—it doesn’t fail for those implementing it, who end up very satisfied with their efforts. The middle class is the target, and we will be hollowed out unless….I don’t know, but unless something happens.
Be aware who the Antifa people are. The men are the loser class: petty criminals and unemployables who live in their mothers’ basements. The women are the homely daughters of bureaucrats, with degrees in gender studies or sociology. They used to find work as bookstore clerks, when we had book stores.
It’s a credit to our capitalist society, that such people are able to exist. For most of human history, they would have starved. Progress? I guess..
Now I understand why Obama wanted Garland so much. He sics the DOJ onto some nebulous “white supremacists” while Antifa and BLM plan destruction and possible murder in the open and the kneel for them. None of this could happen without a complicit media.
Marcusliciniuscrassus and a DA who declines to file charges on pieces of shit…….”The I-Team has learned the group’s leader who goes by the screen name “Marb” is a 25-year-old college student, who was arrested for “felony assault on a police officer” last year at this Oakland riot after the death of George Floyd; the district attorney declined to file charges” .
So….same as Barr.
The OP is correct. And even though it pains me to do so…the blame for these idiots must be placed on my own generation “Generation X”…because by my estimate it is the 40 something and 50 ish crowd who spawned and raised these Millennial idiots behaving badly and running amok in our streets.
Umm, the parents are there with them. These kids were taught this.
Please don’t lob these people in with me. I would say that if I had to classify myself as a follower of some kind of ideology it would be anarchy. These people are not anarchists. These people don’t have the stones to do anything but follow strict courses of action devised by others never thinking any thoughts of their own. So please don’t lump them in with me.
They will keep doing what they are doing until someone or a group of like minded some ones make them stop. When that day comes it will be the beginning of the end for them. They are so weak and they don’t even realize it.
Looks to be a target rich environment Saturday. I would advise them to stay out of Alabama.
I would beg them to come to Alabama.
Me too! They know where not to go. Stopping this is not difficult at all!
Old Bama Guy, that advice could extend across most of the South.
You will not have to advise them. They know. But I would like to see them miscalculate. Would be much fun! Southerners have guns and do not tolerate this bullshit!
Will the Democrats condemn?
They’ll be cheering them on….as usual.
How can the Democrats condemn their own? I tell every Democrat I come across that Antifa and BLM are their people. It shakes them up but they need to be made to see it.
They will blame the violence on white supremacist. Just like they blamed the mythical boogaloos for the violence in Minnesota.
I just can;t with this boogaloo stuff.. It not something to be scared of it sounds like something
Ricky Riccardo would play on his bongos.
There’s a song that sings “Back off Boogaloo” if I remember correctly.
Do my town first!
Sonnie Johnson (Did She Say That?) warned about this days ago.
Sounds about right. This woman obviously grew up in the USSR.
as long as they stay inside the failed democrat run city limits, they’ll be safe,
Safe…and Protected.
Chicago will be lit! What will the number of people shot at and/or killed be over the weekend. Does the Mayor even care?
that will happen anyway.
Don’t worry there are plenty of whites in Chicago to blame. As well as cops.
Someone tell the FBI. Oh, they are collaborating with the rioters.
Someone tell the FBI. Made my day, brother.
How do we know that the FBI didn’t have a hand in creating Antifa??
Sounds like it’s community organized by one of those community organizers or something.
Spot on!!!!
“Once you understand that he’s not on our side everything he does makes sense.”
A generation of fatherless, Ill-bred misfits . . radicalized beyond reason and agitated beyond their intelligence…
The Legacy of Barack Hussein Alinsky.
Clivus. You need to focus more attention on “educational” environments. Like colleges etc
Properly raised children are less susceptible to indoctrination.
Nailed it!
Properly raised children who learn critical thinking at home from their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, all adults constantly giving good input.
Obama is the most evil, vile, POS on the planet. So many Americans sold their souls to the devil for free healthcare, hope that free healthcare was worth destroying the country for.
Indeed he is. The SOB should face the gallows for what he has done and continues to do.
Recall his and the others’ faces at Xiden’s “inauguration.” They know their sunset isn’t far off.
They’re just in a hurry to get as much done as possible, in hopes that some of it sticks.
The most vile piece of ? to take a breath
Read the article. The leader was given a pass for assaulting a police officer.
What? No medal? He was robbed \s
There have been far too many passes given out lately, especially in regards to acts of violence towards police
That is why it is open warfare on police
Amen.
But they are no threat compared to white supremacists
the threat has to be somethign you can never find, so it can be a forever source of money and tresspassing of rights.
white supremacy is perfect for that.
It’s not hard for me to find. Every white liberal I see is a white supremacist. They always look down their noses at you and they always think “they” are soooo much better than you. You know, like, “where did you get your degree”, or “where do you live” and so on and so on. Watch them on some main stream news show and they always come up with some southern accent to describe us “red necks” or “hicks”. And they all sit around and laugh about it. That is where the real “white supremacy” lies. Right smack dab in the mind of a liberal.
You are 100% correct. I had to endure their diseased minds for decades and that’s exactly how they think and act.
Antifa is another reason why the 2nd Amendment should never have been infringed against and should not be further. I mean, they are a de facto arm of our Marxist Government, carrying out their dirty work of intimidation upon innocent, law-abiding citizens of all ethnic backgrounds.
They’re less than 2% of the population in perpetuity. Man up.
Hopefully they stay in Democrat zip codes.
Sometimes I think we should reintroduce dueling, say for a year or so, and see how it works out.
It would stop a lot of the bs we’re witnessing. It all goes back to “Skin in the game”!
Never fear folks. chris wray and the fblie are on top of this… Nothing to see here.
May 1st, May 2nd, what’s the diff–they don’t need a reason. They’ve been given the green light to commit violence.
Please please pray for me…
It is a comp injury mess, so I have to go to Portland Ore. I will be flying in tomorrow to Portland and back out noon Saturday.
Haven’t felt good about being in Portland since they first made the crazy ………… appt.
From what a friend told me, everything I am doing is away from where the Antifa messes gave been..
Praying for you! Let us know when you’re back safely, please, K!
Since I’m flying, no gun.
Oh well. —hey medical boot should make a good weapon LOL..
ugh. Will definitely pray for you.
Hopefully, they will do what they usually do and not even start kicking off before evening- or at least later in the day.
You’ll be ok.
Praying for you for a safe trip.
The FBI will join AntiFa in the may day celebrations,
local police who follow illegal orders will provide security for AntiFa, and the DOJ will arrest anyone who dares defend themselves.
There are some people who are so empty, yet so full of anger and rage that all they want to do is see is the world burn.
These people cannot be reasoned with–they are beyond reason. Their soul is terminally broken–if they ever had one.
At my age, I do not care to fight, but neither do I wish to surrender. But if forced to choose, then I will die for something–for the protection of innocent lives, for principle, for true justice, for God….or, in furious anger and righteous vengeance against those whose very existence is an abomination to humanity.
A civilized society cannot coexist with these people. Brute, expedient force stops this anarchy and restores stability and respect
When I was a kid, we always celebrated May Day by going down to an elderly neighbors house – someone we all loved- with a basket of flowers, put the flowers on the stoop, knocked on the door and then ran before she could open it.
LOL. Like she didn’t know who left them.
It was so much fun.
A great tradition that should probably come back.
It’s evident by the photos, the decades of dumbed down education has paid off for the commies. Extremely sad seeing a child in a stroller put in harms way. Unfortunately, she’ll probably end up like the teen boys in the next photo.
So many “ifs” come to mind but since everything is upside down now, the ifs mean jack. Meanwhile, the real domestic terrorists aren’t even acknowledged as such let alone held accountable. So many sick, evil people being encouraged rather than discouraged, shamed and imprisoned.
Pray for those who may be a target by these anarchists!
I’d like to see them come to our super conservative area of the USA.
They’ll be met with a shower of gunfire .
No one is afraid of these protestors.
And once they realize fear doesn’t work, they lose their power. Wilting like the cowardly vermin they are.
If this happens it will take place in a run down big blue city. The police will standby and let the city burn. Then Joe will build it back better.
Not enough for him to build back better, he must build back better.
It’s a good Heads Up for people who live in Antifa – infested areas to get out and do any needed shopping before Saturday.
And maybe, if possible, get out of town for the weekend to friends/ family farther out.. Because they’re targeting the neighborhoods now.
What a sh*tshow.
Thanks, Democrats.
No, don’t leave. Start mowing them down when they attack or start destroying your property and jeopardizing your safety. At some point, people are going to have to stand up
Why aren’t home owner insurance companies enraged? If you leave your home for the week end and it’s vandalized and burned, don’t they have to pay to rebuild?
But ANTIFA just like America is an idea.
The essential paradox at the heart of all leftist thinking: they are supremely irrational, superstitious people who regard themselves as children of the Enlightenment, or at least the scientific method. They are not.
An idea that gripped the Progressives at the end of the 19th century was pragmatism. Nothing could be taken for granted, everything must be subjected to empirical testing. There was no such thing as common sense or conventional wisdom. To understand the Left, you must understand this. The reason they believe in transgenderism, or children being adopted by gays, or gay marriage, or a hundred other wacky theories, is because they regard life as one long experiment. This is pragmatism. Except when proven wrong, they insist the experiment can never end. That, too, is pragmatism.
Hardcore Marxists, like Crazy Bernie, want to just keep trying the same economic theories over and over. That is pragmatism.
They can “think” all they want, but that does not obligate me to ignore the laws of nature established by a sovereign God.
Your god is not their god. Your truth is not their truth. Welcome to postmodernism.
This looks like a concerted effort to draw out patriot MAGA people into an armed conflict. Much like Charlottesville and Jan. 6th Washington DC protest. The Deep States is trying to get us to show our arms and provoke violence. They want to be able to confiscate weapons and do a mass arrest. Stay out of the cities and shelter in place for the weekend. Do not engage. I hear they may go after the ballots at the Arizona audit. I know there is the urge to protect those ballot. But it is not worth it. Yea, it would have been nice to be able to show the election fraud, but we all know that alone doesn’t change the result of Biden being in the White House.
Very true….
Today we’re up against an enemy who has no regard for or reason to adhere to the rule of law and are operating out of a playbook that is a combination of Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the asymmetrical warfare used by Bin-Laden.
WILL REPUBLICANS EVER FIGURE THIS OUT?
Republicans have figured it out, they are either in on it or cowards . We need a massive purge of these people. Waiting for President Trump’s list.
MAGA is not involved until unilateral abrogation of the COTUS/BOR. Popcorn is available to watch the LGBQWERTY make fools of themselves. Think the Weathemen in the 1970s. Same LGBQWERTY.
Remember the Puerto Rican liberation army? The same people show up in most all these groups occupy wall street Antifa. BLM.
…”but we all know that alone doesn’t change the result of Biden being in the White House.”
I don’t think anyone has said that alone will do anything. If we keep saying/believing/hoping even, that it can’t be done then why do we even bother? Why do we expect things to change if we don’t EXPECT things to change? The demonic left is only as unbeatable as we let them be.
You don’t expect the SCOTUS to order Biden out of the White House and Pres. Trump to be inaugurated as President no matter how many audits are done?
Don’t have too.
Individual states can refuse to acknowledge the federal government. These states should stop sending tax revenue to the feds. Stop all communications and warn that any federal agent who tries to do anything in their state will be arrested. Then do it.
The 10th Amendment, “States Rights”, is the vehicle which the states need to employ and enforce against any and all encroachments by the feds on establishing control within the individual states. Nullification is the process which needs to be implemented to stop all infringement by the feds upon the states.
Contact your conservative repub state legislators to encourage them to push for the above mentioned actions. It ain’t gonna happen automatically.
Just sayin’.
Where oh where did I mention scotus or xxxxx, or inauguration?
How about calling for a new election minus the corrupt machines and mail in ballots?
I don’t think anyone can predict what exactly will happen once the election steal is exposed
Remember how when you were a kid playing a game and the other kid openly cheated? You stood up and said that’s not how you play and the kid says back, “So? What are you gonna do about it?” And you responded by throwing the board off the table, scattering everything and yelling “You’re a cheater! I’m not playing with you anymore!”
We’re there.
We keep thinking that playing the game by the rules is somehow going to work.
The other team has no rules.
We are the fools. We know what must be done and we won’t do it.
They will keep advancing on us until we do.
Period.
My xbox series x arrives tomorrow. After I coach my lax game, I am going home, hooking it up (hopefully it will have arrived) letting it load all updates, etc. And then I am being lazy….
I will have to make up for that lazy on Sunday but I will geek out.
Let them burn the blue cities. But, someone should remind them that they need to be vaccinated, social distance and wear a mask.
Remember America get vaccinated!!!!!!
Oh, and if Biden trying to sell that. wasn’t enough the NFL Network during the draft kept putting up logos on the screen and saying- Fully Vaccinated Crowd section. Fully vaccinated this… fully vaccinated that…..ahhh normalizing gotta love it….not.
Not a good look for the IC with them having seemingly cultivated and promoted them to this point.
It was known as Law Day when we were proud of our country.
Some of those pictures are disgusting. That child in a stroller is being taught what, hate?
The teens don’t even know what sex they’re supposed to be think they really understand law and order.
During the Civil Rights Days it was very much frowned on to bring children. Maybe teens, but not little childrent.
Well I guess it’s a ASP carry day, maybe a spare mag or two.
I’m not looking for confrontation, just don’t fk with me as I exercise my my M’F FREEDOM.
Don’t tread on me sound familiar pukes?
Um, USPS GESTAPO, I was just funning
FBI investigating death threat against the Mayor of Portland OR
https://thepostmillennial.com/journalist-linked-to-antifa-death-threat-video-against-mayor-ted-wheeler
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side”
Remember the sixties when demonstrations were peaceful…..peace brother.
I remember the 60’s when they were violent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Rage
None of the current anti-white racism is new. Quoting from the wiki entry below:
“At one point, the Weathermen adopted the belief that all white babies were “tainted with the original sin of “skin privilege”, declaring “all white babies are pigs” with one Weatherwoman telling feminist poet Robin Morgan “You have no right to that pig male baby” after she saw Morgan breastfeeding her son and told Morgan to put the baby in the garbage. Charles Manson was an obsession with the group and Bernardine Dohrn claimed he truly understood the iniquity of white America, with the Manson family being praised for the murder of Sharon Tate; Dorn’s cell subsequently made its salute a four-fingered gesture that represented the “fork” used to stab Tate.”
Disgusted yet?
Oh, and by the way, Dohrn above is the wife of Bill Ayers, and Obama’s political career was launched in their living room.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground
so true.
they never went away.
and they’ve used the last 50 years to
recruit, organize, fund, and fine tune their plans.
will they ever grow up?
perpetual teenage angst isn’t a good look at their age….
Weathermen Puerto Rican liberation army, Antifa, BLM, the Democrats have never really changed. What group did I leave out?
The Klan.
you got the essence perfectly, alli!
i would add the chicago seven, SLA, manson family….
the era was riddled with thugs, psychopaths, communists,
and criminal megalomaniacs – the fathers of modern anarchy.
the problem being that a lot of them are still around and networking.
think the minneapolis suburbs, champaign-urbana, california state universities.
lots of quiet places to hide if you’ve been paroled.
have firsthand knowledge of one convicted felon of that era, who served a long prison sentence for murdering a bank guard, then had the chutzpah to show up decades later at their high school reunion after being paroled – unapologetic and as committed as ever to the “cause”!
i have wondered many times over the years what actually went wrong with that demographic.
have never found a satisfactory answer.
and they’re still out there….

Andy is a brave journalist.
Remember that incredible Mom who pulled her son out the BLM riot back during Obamas time?
The mothers of those 2 carrying the “All My Heroes Kill Cops” sign need to report for Duty.
Baltimore. April 2015
Looks like 1 year later, that boy was doing fine. God Bless them both. Hope he’s got a great future ahead.
These 2 in the photo, who knows?
Sounds like she did right for her son. A few more mothers need to slap some sense upside the noggins of he rest of the fools on the streets.
These terrorist along with the Democrats are in cahoots to bring down America and install a communist dictatorship. All the levers of power are corrupt to the core. The corrupt government in prisons innocent ordinary Americans and releases violent criminals onto the streets to commit Mayham and murder innocent Americans.
Funny the first reactions we pick up as kids – whenever there was a storm heading in, whether snow, hurricanes, riots, upon getting the first hint of such event mom would immediately run out to the grocery store and pharmacy and get at least a 2 week supply so we would have what we needed to outlast the storm;
guess tomorrow is grocery, pharmacy, hardware store shopping instead of the usual Saturday!
If I lived near any of these places, I would definitely do that.
Even if things calm down on Sunday or Monday, your grocery store/drugstore could be utterly destroyed by then.
Want to stop this destructive behavior? Meet them with brute force when they start assaulting, burning and looting. Let them know the ground rules before it ever starts. Start stacking them up and taking them to the morgue and it WILL stop! This is not difficult
LGBQWERTY kill their own. No need to get involved until they find their gonads to disarm the population.
But wear clothing, and a mask, so that one can’t be identified.
Exactly. Back when they protested in Polk County, FL, our Sheriff Grady Judd let them protest peacefully (really peacefully) but when they headed for I 4 to disrupt traffic, he told them to get off the freeway, and if they didn’t the cops were going to start shooting. They got off and never came back.
It worked in San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake.
The California National Guard put up notices that, after a certain date and time, all looters would be shot on sight, no questions asked. After a few looters reached room temperature, the looting stopped.
It worked then, it will work now. Trouble is, no one in state/local government has the stones to do it.
Or they approve. I am going with the latter, since I haven’t heard ANY condemnation coming from the left since this crapshow started last year.
But they’re just an idea, right Mr. Wray. ?
I’m sure His Fraudulency II will have all the appropriate agencies on high alert come May 1st. Probably to raid some more Trump supporters homes.
When Barr talked about protecting the Constitution and promised to go after the DemoCommieFascist paid thugs, and all his other big talk BS and then did nothing.. ….it was obvious he and the doj were in with the Demo-commie-fascists
Undercover Report, LGBQWERTY Planning Widespread Violence for May 1st
FIFY. There are too many political euphemisms being used to artificially inflate the numbers of less than 2% of the population. No one cares about the internecine war between the progressive and libertarian LGBQWERTY.
If it is Portland, they voted for this. Who cares.
Your comment is FALSE.
Oregon has mail in voting, hence the fraud that’s been happening in that city for a very long time.
In fact, Oregon voters made mail-in ballots the state’s standard system more than 20 years ago.
And it first got the green light for local state elections back in 1981.
Please do your research before you attack people who have no say in ‘fair elections’
Thank you.
Petra “Oregon has mail in voting, hence the fraud that’s been happening in that city for a very long time“.
I empathize with your point there. It’s very easy to “blame the voters” when many of them did not “vote for it” (even if many of them did – not everyone did). However;
Petra “In fact, Oregon voters made mail-in ballots the state’s standard system more than 20 years ago“.
Seems like one could make an easy argument that you just agreed that they voted for this. If they voted to make mail-in ballots the state’s standard system, then didn’t they indeed vote for the subsequent downstream effects of that decision?
Yes they did vote for it. Now they reap what they have sewn.
Just like Wheeler could’ve ended this last year when Antifa first started attacking federal buildings and took over downtown. But…..here they are and now Wheeler is concerned.
I could care less if they off him. Good riddance. Since Wray and Joebama have both said Antifa is an idea….then they can’t possibly really go and kill Wheeler, right Wray? Joe?
I’m sure they will dig up a white supremacist from under a rock to hang out to dry.
This is close to home for me. I live in Sonoma County and we have had no violence at all so far.Unfortunately, there are lots of liberal thinkers here, totally lost in the propaganda . Many have moved up from San Francisco since Covid. Usually the liberals are so happy with their virtue signaling, living
in this beautiful area, that they just don’t engage with real violent feelings. These are probably kid/adults who are delaying responsibilty for their life and falling into the abyss.
Hard to care much when you’re stoned.
…and just last October they were threatening to do these very things if Trump won the election.
Oops.
The violence was supposed to stop once Pres. Trump was removed because he instigated all the violence
And people still are not paying attention
May 1st is the Feast of St Joseph the Worker.
A prime target might be an arena in AZ.
Take their hydration
…and let them eat urinal cake!
That one picture with the toddler in the stroller tells you all you need to know about these scumbags. Great role models. Should be arrested and kid taken from that home.
Time to use live ammo on those who are committing treason and sedition.
One can only hope that young people use their heads, and rethink what “making a difference” actually means.
A kid in Minneapolis got 4 years and 12mil in restitution for throwing a Molotov at a precinct. 4 others await their sentencing, as well.
Meanwhile, BLM founders purchase multiple million-dollar properties. Karl would be proud.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Christopher Wray (aka Lil Wray as he is known to his subordinates behind his back) is sitting at his desk taking tips from antifa and #BLM and sundry white liberal neighbors of white supremacist sitings.
For some reason, this article (plus comments I just read) made me think about a comment made by Patrick Jane in the series the Mentalist.
Jane makes the comment (I’ll share in a moment but the background is needed) after he has a flashback to his wife and daughters murder at the hands of a serial killer called Red John.
Jane goes into his boss’s office, Officer Lisbon, and informed her that if they come across Red John that he is sorry but he is going to kill Red John. Cut him up like he cuts up his victims. Lisbon responds- well Jane, then I will have to intervene and ensure justice is served, which means I may shoot you. Jane replies- that’s fine, you do what you need but I will also do what I need to do.
Lisbon says to Jane “You are seeking vengence I am seeking justice”
Jane responds (and this is the comment that I thought about as I read through this article and comments):
“Justice or vengeance, what’s the difference? They are one in the same.”
<Not word for word, I tired to find it online>
Jane is correct…there is no real difference between justice and vengeance. The only difference is artificial in that one is conducted by a group of people who have given themselves permission to carry out punishment- justice. The other is done by the agrieved.
We the People are in the position to carryout vengeance because those entrusted with justice no longer follow the rules.
It’s the reason Jane said that to Lisbon- Jane just said he would kill a man who murders religiously without thought and the self-righteous Lisbon tells him that she would shoot him to stop him, and labels it as justice. Yet, she would be killing an innocent man while protecting a murderer. Jane’s comment is spot on. There is no difference in action only a difference in perspective.
Thank you for a perspective which I have not considered prior to reading your comment.
Justice is society sanctioned, via rules, vengeance. At my age, 79, I try to learn something new everyday. Today is taken care by your comment. Now I can relax for the rest of the day. Not.
Just sayin’.
