At Any Given Moment...

At any given moment up to 3% of our population is preparing to commit a crime, is in the process of committing a crime, or has just committed a crime.  And you could be the victim.

Please engrave that truism on the inside of your forehead.  So you can't avoid seeing it.  And so you can prepare to defend yourself at any given moment.

Oh, BTW, that particular bit of information comes to you from the National Association of Psychologists.  Just so you know.

And about 3% of our population is hired, trained, fielded, managed and paid to try and prevent them from committing those crimes.  And then arresting them if they're caught in the process of committing crimes.  And hunting them down if the cops have a "reasonable articulable suspicion" that a crime has been committed.  

And after all of that, another 3% or so of our population is engaged in the Court System.  The sheriffs, and the baliffs, and the judges, and the stenographers, and the jailers, and the lawyers.  The tons and tons and tons of lawyers, all engaged in arraigning, charging, prosecuting and defending those accused of crimes.  

And then, if necessary, which it almost always is, carting them off for a spell at the local Gray Bar Hotel.

The only exception to this rule is in our 558 so-called "Sanctuary States and Cities and Counties and Towns."  Places where their elected leaders have chosen to disregard the law.  To simply give our Federal Law the finger.  

Just enforcing some of the laws while ignoring others.  While still happily collecting the $Billions of Dollars in State Aid from the 51 Federal Agencies charged with distributing it.*

What America needs, and what America might now have, is an Executive who enforces the law.  All of the laws.  Not just the ones he/she/it prefers.  That's the way it's been for the last 4 years.  Liberal politics have infested Washington, D.C. like a bad case of the clap.  It will take a lot to "cure" it.  A lot of blood letting, both figurative and perhaps actual, before this Major Problem is solved.

Think about this: were we to begin enforcing our laws, and start locking up the criminals, early on before they've racked up 30 or 40 or 50 prior arrests.  We could then save a Big Chunk of that 9% of our Gross Domestic Product we're forced to spend defending ourselves from the Bad Guys.  

What do you think?

*   Let's see if that gravy train continues now that The Donald's running things.  I'm thinking some of those sanctuaries might dry up if the money does...
