By Tommy Acosta —
What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams?
Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come?
What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals?
These kids, these young men and women of color, are lost.
From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood?
The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them.
What are the police to do? Shoot them?
And then, what happens when these kids decide to arm themselves? Without fear, without an education, without hope, without a moral compass, they will take on the police head-on, gun for gun. And the inner cities will burn.
And what about middle America? The Great White lower-middle class?
They are spoon-fed the violence they see on TV, and with each assault by minority teens, each smash-and-grab video of them running amok in stores; seeing elderly and other whites being mauled by vicious teens devoid of conscience or mercy, they come closer to preparing for a racial war.
It won’t be long. The White middle class sit in front of their TV, smoldering, fearing, watching thousands of Brown and Black illegal aliens pouring into their country every day.
No doubt one day they will snap and when they do America will be on fire.
The authorities will not be able to douse it.
Suburban America, the upper-middle class, they are still secure in their better neighborhoods but these mobs of teenagers growing into adulthood will break through the barriers and loot the be jeepers out of those who think they will be safe.
There is a tsunami building pressure, and no one knows what to do about it.
Hate reigns. Fear reigns. Divisions grow deeper. The violent teens grow bolder. Youth gets dumber.
For now, robbing stores, beating people up is sufficient for these teens to express themselves. When they get the guns the whole show gets serious.
What are the authorities to do? How should they stop or corral a few thousand teens running wild through the streets destroying?
Should the cops unleash the full power they have and employ deadly force? Blow a few dozen of them away and scatter them with a hail of bullets?
We can bet there are those so affected by the impending chaos, that they would want the cops to go ahead and mow the teens down.
There is only so much those in blue can take, before restraint gives.
Then there are the million or so illegals festering in cities. What happens when they realize the American dream is really an American nightmare.
The authorities know this. They know a breaking point is not too far ahead. We will know when the flash mobs of wasted teens start packing and shooting civilians and cops.
That will be the point where decent Americans will pull out their own guns and the second American civil war begins.

You forgot the violent anti American Insurrectionist and those that invited and incited them on Jan 6th! Because that was large scale organized group thuggery and anti democracy violence at its finest!
But I know your TV only show’s “alternative facts” huh?
Well Tommy, you may want to just reach out to the Sedona or Cottonwood youth, you probably would get a clear answer!
What future do they have? Will they do better than their parents? What good is a collage education now?
When I was growing up, Dad worked, mom stayed home. Dad on his salary could buy a home, we went on vacation(driving) every year, and put 3 kids through affordable collage.
Well thanks to Reaganomics, we slowly eliminated the middle class. They broke unions, outsourced good paying jobs, removed pensions, and took away healthcare.
To be a millionaire was a big deal. Now its billionaires and a race to be trillionaires, all on the backs of the majority!
Remember those job creators? Trickle-down economics? Hows that worked out for us? Hows that debt doing giving away all that money to the most wealthy?
You think kids cant see the haves and have nots?
There was a time were a collage education guaranteed a good job. What happened to that? Now a good collage education will guarantee a huge student loan that will take decades to pay off.
We cut education, Arizona being the poster child of crap education. Small children are future, but for 40 years we just keep cutting. Now we are seeing what it does.
So I will ask everyone. Do you have healthcare? Do you have a pension? Do you have a 401k? Do you think Social Security will be around? Do you have a great paying job to put a roof over your head? Can you feed your family?
Anyone who is in there 60s or older should see how all this came down…If you didnt see it, you didnt pay attention. Maybe you didnt care because you got your cut of the pie( Im talking to you baby boomers)!
Maybe if we took care of more people, children wouldnt be so angry, and start to give a darn because they felt like they had a future?
Appreciate most of what you say W S Dave. But college tuition debt has been around since I was a kid in the 60’s and prior to that. It’s partially why the Government instituted the Montgomery and GI bills for veterans following WWII.
We’ve also been at war continuously since the 1990-91Gulf War. Then there was the War on Iraq II, Afghanistan and Syria (as well as much of Africa). Our youth stood up and went to war for our country as volunteers only to get the usual slap in the face from the Veterans Administration when they got out, if they survived the madness of being deployed 3,4, 5-10 times in their careers. Or being dishonorably discharged for having PTSD after they had already been in battle and fought valiantly. I’m convinced this is the leading cause of veteran suicide next to the VA screwing us over.
Then there’s the hundreds of mass/school shootings our youth have had to live through because we are a nation too ignorant to pass common sense background checks and gun reform.
We have become a nation of plastic, roid rage monsters and monstresses who would rather unload a magazine of hot lead into human beings than be kind, honest, friendly and neighborly.
Half our country wants a permanent DICKtator, racist, misogynist, draft dodging, communist loving idiot for POTUS because he wants to put the country back into the 40’s and 50’s where minorities have no rights, woman have to be man slaves and the wealthy walk on the broken backs of their laborers so they can get richer.or they walk around in a permanent trance listening to conspiracies and lies spewed by the former idiot, Q Anon bullshit or elected officials like MTG and Matt Gaetz who want to play mind games and destroy democracy while supposedly serving in an official government capacity.
The other half of the country either wants fair pay and benefits, government normalcy, freedom for all and civil liberties where the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes and don’t get write off’s when they do so!
And finally there is a small number of Americans who feel they can and should be able to do whatever they want, when and wherever they choose which is not how a functioning society operates. There are rules, laws and norms to be followed though these people could care less. They are self declared Sovereign Citizens who usually are in violation of numerous laws and usually engage in shoot outs with first responders when confronted.
Our youth see a world in turmoil and on the verge either having WWIII, an ignorant stupid Civil War or just burning up due to climate change. So I’m guessing they are angry, disillusioned, misled and see no purpose in pursuing traditional things like marriage, college or a career. And I as a veteran do not blame them one bit for not wanting to voluntarily join the military especially after the lies and bullshit that were put upon veterans of nearly every single conflict our nation has engaged in since the Revolutionary War.
Well, if there was ever a reason to believe we’re going down the toilet, read and read again the insanity of the first two responders to Tommy’s comments.
You want to stop the madness, better start getting some real non George Soros funded proswcuters in office and start putting people in jail.
It’s human nature, no consequences breeds more if the same activity and the intensity will increase.
Says the pilot. Because that Tea Pooty and Maggot Pooty under Soro’s alter ego Rupee Murdock, is just what ‘Merica needs huh?
The truth its when the shit hits the fan it will be the very people you call insurrectionist who will stop the hordes from destroying America.
Only those who believe in our right to carry guns will have the courage to face off the gangs Tommy talks about in his essay.
And yes, JB. It’s guys like you who have been used by the forces that be as canon fodder for their profit motivated wars, It’s time to wake up America.
Uh-NO!
Your insurrectionist are the idiots destroying our nation and violating every law in the book including their precious 2nd amendment as they steal and smuggle weapon systems stolen from our military and other illegal sources.
I think after having been deployed to 4 different war zones while in the military makes me anything but fodder.
You probably think Gen. Mark Milley is a traitor because the great orange drooliass said so?
Perhaps my worldview has been tainted by 15 years service but at least I refuse to support an 8 time deferment draft dodging, democracy destroying, commie loving moron as POTUS or any other public office he might attempt to malign and destroy.
My drill sergeant’s mantra was “kill a commie for your mommie” not “destroy democracy and support despots”!
Yep we should put Trump and everyone affiliated with him in prison ASAP! I agree 110% with you and I know zilch about George Soros or any other money grubbing multi billionaire be they Dem/Ind/Rep!
Are you saying that vigilantes are going to help? Whats wrong with you? People rioting and listening to lies are going to save you? You really need to look inside of yourself and reflect on peace, love, empathy! Not hate racism, anger and 2nd amendment remedies…..Your thinking is THE PROBLEM!
You just described the Maggot Movement in great detail Mary Ann. Thank you I couldn’t have phrased any of that any better than you did. Great internal dialogue you have going!
Hi JB
Thank you for your detailed response to my comment but you are wrong. You are innocent. You don’t see the big picture.
No matter how you cut the cake or slice that pizza those patriots, wrongly, yes, still believed what they were doing was saving the country from the chaos they could see is coming.
They were wrong in storming the Capital. They attacked a symbol so symbolically, they must be punished.
Still, they truly believed they did what they did because they thought they could save the country and the president wanted them to do so. Naive and extremely stupid to say the least.
I lost my political innocence in the 60s when I realized war is about profit. Viet Nam saw more than 60,000 Americans lose their lives in the name of profit. In Ukraine the bucks are big while we decimate our hardware to replenish theirs and we tax-payers foot the bill
Trump is not the cause of what you say. He is a symptom
Jan. 6 was a set up.
Mary Ann,
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and had several family members end up in Vietnam and then back home on heroin. War is bullshit and designed to make money off of misery. Think we agree on that.
I disagree that Jan 6th was not a planned organized effort from the top down because it in fact was.
Yes there were some people there acting unwittingly and out of passion for an individual over our Democracy, but they too were 100% culpable for every action they took albeit trespassing, inciting mob violence, violence on a police officer, damage and destruction of and to government property (which isn’t cheap it’s just made by the lowest bidder).
We have a standing militia-it’s called the US Military not the III, Michigan Wolverines or whatever other wannabe extremist anti government so called militia group you care to name. There are thousands to choose from and none of them legitimate anything other than a threat to democracy.
I fail to understand what distrust in one’s government over its decisions to go to war has to do with becoming anti government and anti democracy while claiming to be the only Merican in Merica? Just doesn’t jibe.
BTW- Mary Ann-
The vast majority of those who participated in the Jan 6th insurrection against our Democracy, militia (military wannabe) members, Q Anon nut jobs, white supremacist etc. are criminals that either were not accepted into the military, were kicked out of the military, ex cops who were fired for criminal activity and or have serious mental illness which were and are played upon by Donawlt Dump and his criminal cronies like Steve Bannon (who is a washed up and washed out former Naval Intelligence Officer) who violated hundreds of laws under the Trump Administration ranging from attempting to overthrow the government, stealing money from donors (like his daddy Donawlt does) to build a substandard section of Border wall that was so poorly built the winds knocked them over. He was kicked out of Italy for conspiring with Italian hardcore fascist to topple the Italian and other European governments.
And before you throw you Butt into the conversation- yes Bob Menendez and any other politician, first responders, military personnel, doctors, lawyers, civilians break the laws they too should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Crime does not belong to any one person or organization. There are criminals in every element of society. Like an Italian military Chaplain once told me- “there are saints and killers at every mass”!
So I hope they (those in the public limelight for crimes against the US) get the maximum punishment and maximum sentences allowed for every violation they are indicted and charged with.
Since we have never had a POTUS like Dump actually try to tear down our democracy and destroy our government my hope is that they use all applicable laws for treason on him but rather than execute him as per the law I’d love to see him in solitary confinement for the remainder of his life like the French government did to Carlos the Jackal. That would be befitting of the only person other than Benedict Arnold who openly committed treason against our nation.
There you go again Tommy, predicting the future:
