Will ppl start killing the wealthy in the next recession/DEPRESSION?
I doubt that’s likely since 50% of them are on vacation / away from home. Who’s going to stop break ins / shoot perpetrators if the hosts are gone?Zeets2 » 05 Dec 2024, 9:38 am » wrote: ↑ One of those "signs" will likely emerge this very day.
The jury in the NY trial of Daniel Penny should reach a verdict today.
For those unfamiliar with the case, he's the ex-Marine who was riding the NY subway when a homeless mental patient began harassing and threatening other subway riders. He stepped in and wrestled him to the floor with a neck hold as he was taught in the Marines. The homeless man died, and the corrupt NY prosecutor Alvin Bragg decided to charge Penny with murder, despite the fact that the coroner determined that the cause of death was the drugs the guy was taking.
The point being, if and when Penny is found innocent, it will embolden others to fight back against criminals and attackers. Gun sales have skyrocketed in the past few years since the BLM/Antifa riots in 2020, and those people you think will be wealthy targets in the suburbs now realize it is up to them to defend themselves, with their guns if necessary. When a few of those "smart petty thieves" you're waiting for to mete out the "hate the rich" justice you crave get shot and killed, those thieves will go back to the looting mobs in retail stores that are comparably much safer for them.
All systems and forces adapt over time. Thieves targeting wealthy suburbs with house prices in the top 1.5% within a locale will become a thing.
