But wait, ask the police to come and provide security for your defund police protest.....

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, the irony of this nuttiness. You have certainly pointed a finger at it, my friend. Thanks for the laugh, Timothy! ~ Gershon

I am clutching my sides and rolling around on the floor. It will be your fault if I cannot get back up.

Have you gotten back up yet?... My fault, so I'm serving my second serve now. ~ Tennis Terror

Reminds me of the brilliant line I heard very recently about getting the numbers of covid contamination down ~ stop testing... Wowza!!!!!!

I think that came straight from the self-described 'Genius of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,' didn't it. Yowza! Thanks, Line. :) gs

Lol! I agree with Tom's comment ....because there is no sense in this. What in the world are we coming to? Good point made Gershon :)

You are so right, Heidi. What are we coming to? Maybe all those lefty mayors would agree to have social workers for bodyguards as they move from their armored limousines quickly and fearfully into their bulletproof offices in City Hall. What an utter joke!... Thanks for the support. Take good care, Gershon

Like a bar of Ivory Soap in the tub, the footnote font for Krystal Nacht keeps shrinking until there is nothing left to touch. Defund the police and Trump's Gestapo will come to our rescue? Aloha! Rico

Trump's no Hitler. If he were, he'd be much more efficient than he is. LOL. Aloha!

I agree. It appears some of those murders were done BY the police. Great write. God Bless, JB

It does appear, from media accounts, that the police are busy murdering black citizens. Appearances can be deceiving, however. In Chicago, for example, over the last 6 weekends alone, 108 people have been shot dead. 104 of these were black on black shootings. None involved police. Appears that BLM is focusing on the wrong problem. If black lives really matter, then the vast majority of blacks are getting killed at the hands of other blacks, and that's where the focus should be... Of course, that doesn't fit the media's social narrative, does it?! :) gw

Right! Some say defund police and give more to museums and libraries. We could just call the librarian if someone's breaking in! LOL! This is a GOOD one, Gershon--clever and appropriately sarcastic! Janice

Call the librarian. Great idea! She can bash the burglar's head in with a book, or maybe 'bam 'em with a 'bibliography!' lol. Thanks, Janice

What a great out-of-the-box suggestion, WW: Let the poets handle the increase in violence! Perfect! Heh, heh. You should run for Mayor of Minneapolis! Cheers, Gershon
