Well, well, well. There’s been talk about deploying the National Guard to Washington D.C., and some people are losing their minds. Who would have thought the city known for its cherry blossoms and monuments needed a little extra muscle? Sure, they say crime has risen, with over 100 murders this year alone, but is that really anything to worry about? At this point, the capital’s crime scene seems to be getting a tiny bit out of hand.
But who truly has the time to worry about crime when there are far more pressing concerns like climate change policies and illegal aliens who, according to some, are leeching off taxpayers? Let’s not even talk about the immigrants’ children allegedly being born left and right, draining hospital resources. Oh, and don’t get started on Democrats who seem more upset by the color of the National Guard’s uniform than the body count in their backyard.
Speaking of offended folks, apparently, chaos in D.C. isn’t enough to make certain critics reconsider their stance on law enforcement. Nope, more police might make them uneasy—especially in areas like Southeast D.C. However, let’s not forget that places without visible police forces can apparently offer a sense of safety—or perhaps that’s a privilege only felt in certain predominantly white communities. Of course, voicing such a thought risks being labeled as “racist,” a fate recently bestowed upon the likes of commentator Scott Adams.
Meanwhile, leaders get labeled for their approaches to combating crime and immigration. Celebrities are having meltdowns, with some threatening self-imposed exile to places like glorious Italia to escape the so-called tyranny. The dramatics! Imagine relinquishing your Hollywood Hills pad just to complain about American politics from the comfort of your new Roman flat. Truly, the dedication to being dramatically incensed knows no geographical bounds.
And as for Washington’s leadership, it’s quite the spectacle. With everyone pointing fingers rather than finding solutions, one thing is clear: beneath their polished exteriors and catchy soundbites, city leaders seem to be more concerned with slogans than streets.
So, keep casting stones at the National Guard while cranking out the excuses. Meanwhile, the rest of America will be watching to see if these reinforced efforts have any effect. And if not, well, I’m sure Italy has room for a few more disenchanted souls, grappling with the realization that maybe, just maybe, law and order isn’t such a bad thing after all.
