It's not a derail. This thread is about the out of control rural crime and the government's complicity. These FundRazr campaigns are now our only way of fighting back.
What would be the point? The truth has always been out there. The degenerates and the Leftists just simply choose to willfully ignore it if it does not suit their agenda...
A free society must outlaw harming innocent people to function, but when we seek to curtail what all of us can do, rather than holding each of us responsible for what we actually do, we give up on freedom itself.
Maybe it's only a comparatively small minority of us who are dealing with it. As for rural crime, the criminals seem to be targeting the same people repeatedly. I myself have been hit twice. It's rampantly out of control but it could be that's it's just the same people getting robbed over and over and over.
Human nature being what it is, if you've never been targeted yourself then why care???
Still a gift horse.
Imho, this campaign didn't get the traction it could have, for two reasons:
1.Since it was white-on-white crime, the "closet racist" progressive left, had no interest in the case; provoking no reaction from the slumbering right. (Hint: the next time you shoot an intruder on your property, before you call the cops, give him a quick once-over with a can of brown Tremclad...
2.Eddie has no 'street cred' (well, until now :/). If along with this initial fundrazr, there was a picture of his lifetime member NRA card, or of his receipts showing his years of donations to the CSSA and NFA, or of his wife's 'CGN beaver' lower-back tattoo; then I bet many more people would have been willing to "give back." (IMo, similar to the Stanley fundraiser, "a friend in need" eh? Where were these guys, BEFORE they needed help?)
Personally, I've decided to be much more discriminatory when it comes to helping anyone. Coon's days of being a 'blank-cheque helper donkey', are done. (I still donated several hundy to each campaign, but even these lads barely made the cut.)
This crowd funding thing isn't just about helping Stanley or Maurice, it's for all of us. We have a pro-criminal, criminal government (that was elected into power by criminals) whose focus and priority is the re-victimization of crime victims. We have a dysfunctional 'justice' system with ineffective police.
When/if these self evident facts eventually sink in with all of those who are still in denial, I think that we'll see campaigns like this FundRazr really begin to skyrocket with contributions. It's now our only protection...
