“An hour and a half after I’d called 911, officers
arrived. And it was then—noon, on Thursday, August 20th that I had an upsetting
revelation: We citizens can no longer rely on the police to show up. And then
the thought hit me: I need to get a gun.
“You’ve got to love the irony. It’s the Democrats
who push for gun control, yet it’s the Democrats in power in my city who are
leaving me with no choice but to arm myself.
…
“As I told the cops who came out to try to help us,
this will end in violence. The mayor and council members have security details
protecting them and their homes. But absent an empowered police force, the rest
of us have only hoses, fists, and—in some cases—guns.”
