 Crowds of people in hoodies are smashing department store windows, swarming over the high-end electronics, designer clothes and leather goods like a colony of angry ants before vanishing into the night.  So where is the unasked avenger of retailing under siege?  Where is Kyle Rittenhouse when his country needs him?

Still completing his victory lap.   There's zero likelihood that Big Marge's bill to give him a medal will go anywhere, but it's an honor just to be nominated, right?  Like the White People's Choice Awards.  He can have his pick of (unpaid) Congressional internships, matriculating in fascism at the feet of America's most loathsome.  I'm sure colleges are bidding for him, some of them accredited.  Candace Owens wants to have his children.  Now about those smash-and-grab gangs...

A security guard named Kevin Nishita was shot while protecting a TV news crew in Oakland as they covered one of these robberies, and has now died.  That lifts the event above "non-traditional shopping" and "the insurance will cover it" wisecracks.  This is the violence that the Trumpers rant about, and which seldom occurs, during BLM demonstrations.  I'm not seeing any Oaf Keepers or Prod Boys, or even the Guardian Angels whose founder just got ass-kicked in the New York mayoral race.  Not so brave in the face of real violence from real criminals.  It's easier to wave guns at unarmed marchers, as Bonnie and Clyde McCloskey did.  True colors.

 

  I'm known for my off-label sense of humor but it's not dark enough to come up with this.  There's a rumor that tickets are going (or not) for $20,000, and you get to touch Melania on any silicone surface.  Notice, please, it says "holiday season."  No C word.  Gods help us, every one.
