Vigilante Justice is Increasing in America

Back on January 10, 1963 the 45 Communist Goals were read into the Congressional Record. Today, most everybody is aware that some people were put into offices such as judges on the bench and District and State’s Attorneys with the organizational and financial help of billionaire philanthropist George Soros.

Most everybody can see these particular people seemingly do not follow the nation’s laws and are too quick to release hardened criminals back into society. They see the true intent of the lawlessness brought on by Illinois’ Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) and his new cashless bail system when Pritzker signed the SAFE-T Act into law in 2021, which included the Pretrial Fairness Act that ended cash bail in Illinois. He did this despite most of the law officials of Illinois were against it starting with the County Sheriff’s Association. Illinoisans saw how it made them less safe.

Question: So what is all of this newfound leniency towards criminals really all about?

Answer: It is about communist enemies within trying to sow chaos and anarchy because lawlessness is the beginning of the breakdown of a civilized society.

From Google AI:

“The statement “lawlessness is the beginning of the breakdown of society” is supported by legal theory, sociology, and historical evidence. A functioning legal system is the foundation for a stable society, providing the predictability, rights, and conflict-resolution mechanisms that promote order and social cohesion. When respect for and adherence to the rule of law deteriorates, a cascade of negative effects—including rising crime, economic instability, and the erosion of trust—can lead to broader societal collapse.”

So how does Soros come into play with the liberal activist judges, DA’s, and SA’s appointed around our nation. If you go back to those 45 goals of the communists you find out.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

There is a sudden rise in cases of vigilante justice happening around the nation as Americans perceive our third branch of government, the Judicial Branch, is compromised. It became magnified by the treatment of President Donald Trump in 2023/24 as he became a victim of half a dozen bogus court cases that any reputable judge would have dismissed with prejudice before trial. Instead, they not only allowed the trials to continue but in some cases stacked the juries and allowed family members to gain personally from the trials. Trump termed his new treatment “lawfare”.

Remember the sudden birth of the “Defund the Police” movement five years ago in 2020? Now go back and read goal 38 again and ask who promoted this and what their connection is to the Communist Party. How does defunding the police improve American society?

It became magnified more with the recent deaths of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Their deaths highlight the breakdown of a civilized society and, to some Americans; this means it is time for vigilante justice.

Here are some recent examples of what some are calling cases of vigilante justice:

“LAPD looks for vigilante justice suspect in East Hollywood” – NBC LA

“Posters calling for “vigilante justice” in Tyre Nichols’ case popping up in Memphis” – NBC Memphis

“Neighborhood ‘vigilantes’ help catch man accused of raping 70-year-old Bronx woman” – NBC New York

“Newark Residents Murdered Teen While Pursuing ‘Vigilante Justice,’ Prosecutors Say” MSN

“Kentucky judge killed in chambers accused of trading sexual favors for influence at wild parties” – FOX News

CONCLUSION:

Americans are increasingly seeking vigilante justice movies to view. Movies like those of the “Death Wish” series, “Lucy”, “Taxi Driver”, “The Vigilante”, and “The Brave One” are just a few I can recall having seen myself in the past Top 50.

It is important to understand, though, that vigilante justice only applies when otherwise innocent citizens take the law into their own hands to capture or kill a criminal either in the act or shortly after committing the act.

Recent attempts by the left (communists?) to glorify the killers of conservative debater Charlie Kirk and American Healthcare Insurance Company CEO Brian Thompson are inappropriate. After all, Kirk and Thompson were not criminals evading justice for laws broken. They were murdered in cold blood while out in the open by cowardly assassins hiding from them so as not to be detected or caught.

So while those two killings are not examples of vigilante justice, here is an awful example that took place recently:

“Man Unzips and Pisses on Child at AMC Theater – Crowd’s Brutal Reaction Shows How to Fix Degenerate Culture! (Video)” – Conservative US

It is reported the man was beaten so badly he could no longer stand.

Sadly, as crime goes up unchecked, people like internet personality Steve Inman find a new source of revenue narrating vigilante justice videos captured on security cameras as though he is a sports caster… and people are flocking to watch. Inman’s video narrations, and the endings that appear to bring justice for the innocent citizens who were being victimized, have become internet gold!

Americans are tired of seeing videos of innocent victims getting knocked out in urban knockout games, tired of seeing flash mobs commit smash and grab burglaries in retail stores, and even more tired of hearing about people being threatened and murdered on subways and in subway stations.

It’s sad that Americans are welcoming vigilante justice. That is not the way things should be in America, but it is what too many of our lawless leaders, and those who support them, are cheering for. They sow chaos and anarchy so that lawlessness will continue to breakdown civilized society in American.
