To Sin By Silence When They Should Protest Makes Cowards Of Men.
Host Ryan Weiss is joined by Jesse Unk from Sports Illustrated, Friend of Show Chris 'The Film Freak' Kessinger, and Special Guest Derek Seeden.
The guys sit down to have a serious conversation regarding the recent incidents involving George Floyd, The Unrest, Protests, Racial Inequality, and everything currently at hand going on with the situation.
This show will consist of that sole segment. Thanks for tuning in and please share!
In December, A mob of angry protesters have broken into a lawful business and looted the property and goods of that business. They destroyed them while wearing masks and costumes to make it look like a different group of people committed this heinous crime. They were angry with how the government had handled a recent difficult situation, and they felt the only recourse was to loot and destroy private property in the middle of the night.
In February, A different mob of rioters looted and ransacked a local store because the owner supported a government policy the mob didn't like. In March, the mob formed again and tried to take over the local bank. One law enforcement officer was on site, and was quickly surrounded by the mob and was attacked with rocks and other blunt objects. The mob continued to grow as rioters took a local emergency notification system and called more rioters to attack and loot the bank along with its' lone law enforcement officer. More law enforcement arrived. As law enforcement took up a defensive position, the rioters attacked them with clubs and sticks. The brave law enforcement officers opted to use lethal force to suppress the violent mob. The mob overwhelmed the law enforcement and took them captive and threatened with death. The officers were eventually released.
Why is nobody talking about these incidents and the deplorable actions of the mob who had no respect for the rule of law or the rights of property? Didn't these thugs know that we should just follow the system and peacefully protest in order to enact change? These Massachusetts thugs need to be jailed and we should stand with the law enforcement officers who bravely defended the laws and rights of property, shouldn't we!
I am obviously referring to the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre. The mob we proudly call "patriots." The law enforcement we call "redcoats." We as a society have historically honored their sacrifice in the fight for "freedom and justice."
I don't condone rioting or looting. But historically, white people who have engaged in rioting and armed revolt, have been lauded as heroes and patriots. Whether it was the Texans at the Alamo, Shay's rebellion, the march of the Paxton boys, or even the "patriots" (and it disgusts me to refer to them as that) at the Bundy ranch and at the wildlife refuge in Oregon, white rioters are received well and justified and rationalized. Non-white rioters are condemned. Yes there are examples that are exceptions, but the witness of American history shows as much.
