    If the US citizens in Aurora want to help themselves (note the wording – the state ain’t gonna help ya), they need to purchase guns and ammo (in spite of city/state laws) and adapt the IRA methods of “shoot & scoot”.
    Oh, and maybe some improvised flash and noise suppressors (cheaply made, quickly disposed of) wouldn’t hurt either.

        I don’t think we’re gonna be able to vote our way out of this mess.
        We’ll go through the motions, and cast our ballots.
        But if you don’t think the fix is already in…..?

    Last I heard, CO was NOT a designated sanctuary state. R’s and D’s are about equal in the state, but as is the norm anymore the big city lib tails wag the whole rest of the dog..”Denver County, CO is very liberal. In Denver County, CO 79.6% of the people voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 18.2% voted for the Republican Party. And also like everywhere else, the conservative majority suffers at the hands of the militant liberal minority, how fair is that?

      As I understand it [and I still live in Colorado and literally grew up within a few blocks of the occupied territory in Aurora] the “City and County of Denver” is a sanctuary area. Aurora is not part of that so is not a sanctuary city.

    The barefooted ache, the grey-frayed roan
    Rather the known
    Rather lips of salt and sand
    Than the pentagram of Lies
    Hung high on the throne
    Worn armor peach and purple

    New ashes rise, cleansing the skies
    More than tokens won
    This long misty war of skin piercing stone
    All, all now is shown

    Anyone foolish enough to go to the aid of the people in Aurora will more than likely be Rittenhoused. I’m too old to put my life on hold for a year or two while their “justice” system plays with it.

    There WILL be a war. I mean a real one, not the one-way incremental enemy action we now see daily across the country.

    “I will fundamentally change America.” <– With the help of the cabal, he has most ricky-tick done so.

    "Morality" as a standard has been cast aside for the forseeable future.

    Naked, fat, weirdly made-up men parade in streets across America. Men dressed as women command our military forces. Our Generals secretly conferred with the Chicoms about a sitting President's (Trump) actions without the slightest repercussions.

    The list is enormous and growing in every direction like a vaxx-powered cancer. When the list reaches a certain point, the Ship of America will turn upside down and founder.

    Colorado elected a sanctuary-happy governor and legislature.

    They should have expected this sort of “unintended consequence”.

    Until people learn to stop electing delusional pseudo-Utopians and power-mad nihilists, they should get used to the idea that they will always have to pay for doing so, one way or another.

    Democrats are reverting to type – founding a neo- Old South. California is the new South Carolina. Add, Oregon, Washington state and Hawaii to complete the set. New York state and the New England states are the new border states like Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland were.
    The old south possessed a small extremely wealthy class, a tiny middle class, involuntary servitude and large numbers of whites and free blacks in poverty. The cotton plantation owners and cotton trade factors such as Lehman Brothers, made up the wealthy class. The small middle class included doctors, lawyers, larger shop owners and a few others that catered to the wealthy. Involuntary servitude labor depressed the wages of most others. Now, oligarch donors understand that hiring cheap labor is more cost effective than involuntary servitude . Involuntary servitude workers only work enough to keep from being punished and must be cared for. Peons are cheaper.
    California’s oligarch class are mostly in IT, show business and a few industries. Lawyers and doctors, who cater to the aforementioned, form the upper middle class. The wealthy oligarchs use imported labor to depress IT wages at one end and unskilled labor to keep their mansions and well-manicured lawns – mimicking involuntary servitude of old. Which depresses the wages of a dwindling middle class. Add, rising taxes and the middle class becomes poor or leaves the state. The Census Bureau’s Supplementary Poverty Rate for California – 20.9 percent is the highest in the nation.

      In the colonial era, the southern planters had a special problem with labor – the frontier was just a few miles west, and not many men were happy with laboring in the hot sun for someone else when they could be taking up a homestead and working for themselves – and unlike the northern colonies, the winters were mild enough that just slapping together some sticks and mud would give a man enough shelter to get started. Normally, when you have a labor shortage, you just aren’t paying enough, but under those conditions paying more let the workers build up enough cash to set out on their own more quickly.

      So they paid for indentured workers – white men and women bound by contract to work for you for ten years in return for paying their debts in the old country and their passage to the New World. But too many of these didn’t finish their contract, but walked off towards the frontier. Fingerprints and photography had not been invented yet, and portrait painters charged too much to get pictures of your servants painted. Bounty hunters that tried to work from just a written description snatched the wrong person much too often, and even poor Englishmen had rights. So either you gave up or went looking for your runaway workers yourself – but who was running your plantation?

      Buying Africans from slave-ships solved that problem. They might runaway, but “black” was a close enough description for slave-catchers to drag them back. Unless they carried papers to prove their freedom, it was a safe assumption that they had runaway from _somewhere_; if it turned out not to be your missing guy, they’d just have to find the owner. (Or anyone who would pay the slave-catcher’s fee and falsely claim ownership. See _12 Years a Slave_.) A slave economy was a poor economy with low productivity, but in the view of southern planters, it was better than being limited to the amount of tobacco you could plant and harvest yourself,

      After the Revolutionary War, there was a general agreement that slavery went against American principles, but they could not afford to end it _yet_. It was expected that it’s poor productivity would bring a natural end to it when the peculiar combination of a nearby frontier and a mild climate ended. But two things went wrong. One was that the invention of the cotton gin allowed growing cotton inland, making plantations much more lucrative and multiplying the labor needed. So slaves were needed for another generation.

      The second problem was sociological: slavery itself changes your society, in ways that mess it up and make it very difficult to give slaves up. Plantation owners children were raised to be dependent on servants, who were quite dedicated to keeping the master class happy because they feared things much, much worse than being fired. Poor whites could console themselves that, no matter how bad their lives were, they were better than those slaves. And slaves did not learn to choose wisely for themselves if they were freed.

      Very few of the whites believed in freedom enough to vote to change that system. There was even a convention proposing abolishing slavery in Virginia in 1830, but the proposal was voted down and never revived in any slave state. Most of the slave states outlawed even talking in favor of abolition. (Wealthy and powerful whites gave up their own freedom to prevent the slightest challenge to their privilege.)

      The Union Army could forcibly set the slaves free, but could not change the class system that kept the freedmen at the bottom. Few of the freed slaves gained any more than the possibility of changing their masters, and working for a wage that did not allow living as well as most had when they were the masters’ property. Low productivity and poverty persisted until air conditioning made it much more comfortable for those from outside this caste system who moved their industry take advantage of the low wages of the south.

      Up here, when sentenced to a military prison, the rank is reduced to private for the term of the sentence…If I recall correctly, the sentence for treason is life…either serving it or forfeiting it. Any member of the General staff conferring with an enemy or potential enemy without express permission except for requesting the surrender of said enemy, or profiting personally from any such dealings, should be removed from any form of command, dismissed from the service and their pension cancelled.

    Colorado Springs is still pretty conservative. Denver and Boulder are like Albany and Downstate in New York State, where I’m originally from. They dominate State politics due to the pure number of progressives that populate Denver and Boulder. Property tax rises surprised most Coloradans who own homes and also house insurance jumps. I rent in Colorado Springs, a 1 bedroom with a balcony that looks at the mountains and it’s still affordable. Older building but my apartment is nice! Colorado Springs is NOT a sanctuary city.

    My niece lives in Aurora with her husband and two children. Some years ago my husband had a conversation with her husband, who told my husband that he had never felt the need for a firearm. I worry about her and the kids, because I’m afraid that sooner or later they’re going to need one, and that his bullheaded stubbornness is going to be the cause of a disaster.

    Fortunately for Aurora (and Denver), Colorado passed laws limiting magazines to only 10-rounds.

      It’s a five round limit up here for centrefire rifles, and lever actions with a dozen rounds in the tube drive the liebrals to fits 🙂
      Of course mag changes are something you practice and practice and then practice again, WW2 was fought with 5, 8 and 10 round mags most of which weren’t detached for reload but refilled with stripper clips. For ‘social’ use in situations like this, I’d prefer to have an M1 Carbine over an AR platform, but they’re specifically illegal to possess up here 🙁

    Just finished reading “Crisis of Command”
    by Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller; got the book
    cause I was made aware of the bad deal
    he received from our Govt. and Marine
    Corps upper Eschelon, and want to
    support him.

    I have read many books about the military;

    As I was in Vietnam in the US Army 66-67
    I can relate to how out rankers practice
    CYA on a regular basis.
    I met some of the greatest guys I`ll never
    see again… I also met some I would not
    want to see again.
    Lt. Col. Scheller is one I would be proud
    to be able to call a friend.

    Pete Hegseth wrote a great book called
    “The War on Warriors” in which he named
    names and called out the Scumbags.
    Scheller`s book while laying out how
    he was railroaded, by the Marine Corps
    and later the Dept. of the Navy goes
    way further and anyone thinking that
    our country is going to hell should
    consider reading this book. It is Excellent.
    He has a website

      Everyone says “thank you for your service” and most of us, myself included, do appreciate that, but whether you were in combat on the ground or making sure the air support would be ready when called for, or delivering the equipment, food, fuel and ammunition needed to do the job, there are still some who only served themselves and looked upon everyone else as completely expendable to the point that they didn’t even try to conserve their men.
      All gave some and some gave all, but a select few took far more than they gave.
