American history's periods of political uncertainty were always quite bloody.
The lead-up to the American Revolution, the actual Revolution and a fairly long post-Revolution all had their periods of civilians killing fellow civilians in situations akin to war. Likewise the preceding, actual and post Civil War eras, not to mention the various Indian wars, from earliest days of the Colonies to quite some time after the Civil War.
Those were times when citizens took the law into their own hands, or suffered the consequences of not doing so. They were unsettled times, when the government could not or would not establish order; it was up to the citizens themselves to protect themselves, their families and their property.
They were times just like this one.
Young people today were not taught actual history, but politicized history, Marxified history, anti-Christian history and anti-Americanized history. That's why so many Americans today don't know that America's Revolutionary War was as much an actual civil war as it was a revolution against the ruling English crown. Perhaps a third of the citizenry of the colonies were loyalists who were loyal to the crown, and why wouldn't they be? That's how everyone was raised. In pre-revolution American Colonial thinking, to rebel against the crown was treason.
Another third, approximately, were outraged at the offenses of the crown that would come to be listed in the Declaration of Independence had hit the point where the offenses were insufferable, and they would not stand for it any more.
The last approximate third were neutral, or indecisive; they were what Benjamin Franklin called "Mugwhumps", with their mugs hanging over one side of the fence, and their whumps hanging over the other.
These factions organized, armed and fortified against each other, and yes, killed each other. War does that to people. There was almost as much local guerilla bloodshed between former neighbors as there was between the clashing armies. When Washington was finally victorious and the British army left our shores, a whole lot of American loyalists left with them, never to return. And many who remained retained their hostility toward the victors, and many of the victors shared that sentiment. For some, the war was not over.
War does that to people.
The Civil War era was worse. Years before the start of the Civil War, loosely organized and (disorganized) guerilla forces - Bushwhackers; Border Ruffians; Cantrill's Raiders, Bloody Bill Andersobn, etc., on the Missouri side; and Jay-hawkers and Red-legs on the Kansas side - all along the Missouri-Kansas border were waging near open warfare.
What may have started it was masses of pro-slavery Missourians sneaking into Kansas polling places to illegally vote in a Kansas election determining whether abolitionist Kansas would be a slave state or not. They stole the election, their cheating was uncovered and the hostilities began.
Sound familiar?
All through the Civil War these guerilla groups raided each other across the state line. Some were "legitimized" by being brought into either the Union or the Confederate forces, and some were not. Cantrill, for instance, was made a Confederate officer, but after the Lawrence massacre he was kicked out of the Confederate army. None stopped fighting; all felt (or pretended to feel) justified; all became bloodthirsty.
Through all the years of the war the guerillas honed their skills as cavalrymen. Southern cavalry became superior to Northern cavalry basically because of their adoption of and acquired skill with pistols rather than the typical carbines and sabers of the day. Favored especially were the .36 caliber Navy and the .44 caliber Walker/Dragoon pistols. A cavalryman or guerilla could carry as many as four of these pistols on his person, a brace of two more across the front of his saddle, and a brace of two more attached across the back of his saddle, all within reach.
They became adept at shooting these five or six shot weapons from the back of a charging horse. As a rapid fire weapon, it was far more reliable than any not easy to reload single-shot pistol or carbine, or saber, typically carried by Northern cavalrymen. All the cylinders of all the guns could all be loaded before battle with powder, shot or mini ball and sealed with grease to keep other loaded chambers from igniting when one was fired. The use of these rapid-fire weapons thus presented an enormous advantage in the hands of anyone who became highly skilled in their use.
Guerillas are noted for not needing supply lines that could be cut. What does it mean to "live off the land"? It means to take food and water for men and horses from wherever they could be taken. Taking harvested grain, taking cattle, taking horses, taking powder and shot, taking pigs, chickens, eggs, whatever is needed from whomever had it.
What's the difference between living off the land and robbery? Nothing.
War is hell.
This is the hell that the Jesse James - Cole Younger gang came out of. They never stopped robbing and looting, rampaging and killing. Even back during the war, they didn't just take what was necessary; they took whatever they wanted to take for themselves. It became a way of life; a business.
But when you look at the wildest days of the post-civil war wild, wild west, you're looking at a much more peaceful America than you're living in today. There was still some vestiges of chivalry left; that's gone today. Back then, anyone who harmed a woman or a child signed his own death warrant in doing so, because no one in America would put up with that. Not the courts, not the law, and not the people. Not even the criminals.
Nowhere near the 70,000 people a year death rate from fentanyl died from anything at all in the worst years of the wild, wild west. And all those fentanyl deaths can be laid at the feet of the criminal, treasonous, anti-American, open-the-borders, election-cheating Marxocrat Party.
New York Mayor Eric Adams exemplifies the "brilliance" of the Marxocrat Party. He's not even smart enough to know that he is a racist. He thinks he's a wonderful mayor. He points to his chosen five (5) deputy mayors, asks if anyone ever saw so much "chocolate" before, and then shouts "That's why everyone is hating on me!"
Hating on him? They elected him Mayor. That's hating? He is just too stupid for words.
He's criminally running a sanctuary city that welcomes all the criminal aliens his Party can smuggle in here, but not the few that were sent in from Texas, because, they came in publicly, and he has to be public about whatever happens with them. He won't even consider undoing the criminal status of his own sanctuary city, or arresting illegal aliens for deportation, or anything other than bleeding the state and US treasuries dry by having them pay for all the five-star hotel accommodations, food, medical care, green cards, driver's licenses, etc., et., etc., and blaming white people for his supposedly low level of his personal life in New York.
What this highlights is the Marxocrat replacement of distinction and identity with diversity and inclusion. He, like all of his chocolate but unnecessary deputies, is in his office by reason of his race, and not his competency at anything. If competency had anything to do with it, he wouldn't be Mayor and he wouldn't have 5 chocolate deputies.
And there wouldn't be so many murders, robberies, lootings, ransackings, muggings, carjackings, shootings, police beatings, rapes, burglaries, purse snatches, arsons and other crimes being uncharged, un-indicted, un-investigated, un-responded to and ignored in his city.
I am reminded of the recent comment of "Jay" on the MLK Disillusionment page:
Hardly anyone in America noticed the head fake. MLK said " I want to live in country where my children are judged on the content of their character not the color of their skin"
Then for sixty years they forcibly integrated people into every level of American society based on the color of their skin NOT their skills, or character.
Race is the sole criteria for hiring in the now racist minds of Marxocrats.
And Republicrats.
Today, thanks to Cultural Marxism and its domination of education, news, entertainment and political parties, America is predominantly racist and stupidly favoring diversity over identity.
Identity is distinct; identity is necessarily separatist, not inclusive.
We don't know who we are; we don't even know what we are.
We have a supreme court justice who cannot define the word "woman".
We have little boys who have been made to think they are little girls, or who would like to grow up to be drag queens, and we have men in high office wearing dresses and lipstick, and we have a pentagon struggling to keep up with the ever growing list of gender pronouns they are imposing on the language of all ranks of all of the American military.
As far as the life-endangering street crime rate is concerned, the second amendment already provides the solution.
All President Trump, once returned to office, has to do is declare all existing gun control laws, regulations, restrictions and rules of any kind at all levels to be unconstitutional and therefore null, and the situation will take care of itself.
Robbers, looters, muggers, rapists, drive-by shooters would be stopped in their tracks. Likewise mass-shooters
What put an end to the murderous Jesse James-Cole Younger gang was the armed citizenry of Northfield Minnesota.
That history could repeat itself too.
The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Join Cardinal Burke's Storm Heaven Rosary Campaign.
Get behind the Trump-Vance Ticket, and make America Constitutional again.
Pray for the strategic alliance of Abp. Vigano and President Trump.
