Armed Thugs Attempt Ambush of Engineers/Rescuers, Get Shot To Death

Good.

It remains comforting to know that, no matter how animalistically and anti-human some will behave, even though they've chosen violence and mayhem as their calling, they're still not as good at meting out violence as the organized and civilized.

Not to knock the Gauls or praise the Romans, but savagery and barbarity only takes you so far. Men willing to kill or die for loot are dangerous, but they're not nearly as dangerous as men who have made the systematic (and civilized) delivery of violence their calling.

Well said.

I believe it was Ayn Rand who said that "brute" force could never equal force ruled by a functioning mind.

This is the central thesis of Victor Davis Hanson's book "Culture and Carnage" (or is it" Carnage and Culture"?)

Basically, he says that the reason that Western Civ has prevailed is that free men, organized in defense of their cultural equity, make better warriors.

A great read, a much better use of your time than 10 hours of video games or Dungeons and Dragons.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

hahahahaha

This is the lady who gave her question to Biden beforehand, and he had it written verbatim in his notes with her picture.
