Horst Wessel Is Reborn From The Womb Of Violent Rhetoric.

Since we'll before November's election the rhetoric coming from the left has been laced with words of violent connotation. With Hillary's humiliation at the polls the connotations have become implications and justifications that have now become escalations from assaults with fists and baseball bats to the use of firearms with murderous intent.

Yesterday's shooting did not occur in a vacuum. From Kathy Griffin's stunningly callous photo shoot to the completely unveiled call for the assassination of the President in New York's Theater in the Park presentation, the provocation curve has moved into the near vertical. What did they think was going to happen?

I have not the slightest doubt that an exploration of the internet history of yesterday's would be assassin will reveal his having visited numerous sites displaying the most overt calls to bloody violence.  How then are Hodgkinson's actions any different from that of some domestic Jihadist, radicalized by the internet or his local Imam? It is the simplest and most obvious of parallels but don't expect the MSM or any Democrat to acknowledge its clearly exists.

The only real questions remaining are, have we gone past some psychological tipping point? Is it even possible for the leading voices of the left to have any real influence in dialing back the rhetoric and bringing the street anarchists and communists they have given birth to under control or has their callous disregard for the possible consequences of their words and actions kicked open Pandora's Box and smashed it beyond any hope of repair? Was this their hidden intent all along?

Bernie Sanders and the rest of the closet communists who call themselves Democrats can fain all the revulsion they want. It won't change their responsibility one single bit. You don't train a pitbull to fight, poke at it with a sharp stick and then claim innocence when it snaps a cardboard leash and goes for the first available throat.

If Congressman Scalise had not been part of the Republican leadership it's quite possible that there would not have been any Capital Police officers present at today's baseball practice. Then who knows what the body count might have been? We should probably at least be thankful that this weak minded fool was not any kind of competent marksman but that doesn't lessen the responsibility of the authors of the violent rhetoric that clearly inspired his actions.

Worse I fully expect that some mindless recording artist (yes Katy Perry, I'm talking g about you) will soon pen and promote an anthem glorifying Hodgkinson's martyrdom to the cause of the "resistance". Hodgkinson will become the new Horst Wessel but that's another parallel will be deliberately be ignored by the political left as well.

More than one commentator has expressed the fear that we are moving inexorably toward what could become a civil war. I fear they may be right It will not be one of organized governmental armies meeting on the field of combat but one of armed militia units striking at each other's supporters and infrastructure. If that happens then the economy will slowly grind to a halt and transportation networks will all but cease to function. Look at Venezuela today. Look at the chaos in Calais France as the thousands of violent Muslims there were blocked from crossing over to the UK and they started attacking commercial trucking to steal anything and everything they could. Now multiply that by a hundred fold as food stops being shipped into inner city neighborhoods and the suburbs begin to find they can't count on the police to protect them and start controlling access to their own areas themselves.

These violent left fascist so-called social justice warriors had best think. Those up to now peaceful suburbanites are far better armed and experienced with weapons than any bunch of college brats and urban drug gangs combined. In fact those drug gangs will kill anyone who gets in their way. They will have no solidarity with BLM or the SJWs expect as to how they can exploit them for their own ends. Just look at drug cartels in Mexico.

But then neither the likes of Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton or Al Sharpton will take responsibility or suffer the repercussions. They will all be hiding g behind high walls and armed private security. It's the rest of us who will have to suffer and many unfortunately, die.
