Don't Forget What They've Taken From You - V

V. It used to be understood that people were pretty safe, that our streets and our neighborhoods weren’t a dangerous place, that you could let your kids go out and they’d come back alive, that we had good law enforcement, security to thrive. But now they coddle criminals, help them get out early, our cities have become failed states of crime, drugs, and feces. Worse yet is they’re importing them, illegals in cruel gangs, handing out money to the thugs who probably should hang. It seems a week doesn’t go by we don’t see migrant crime, people murdered and women raped, it happens all the time. Whole apartments taken over, the tenants extorted, by people your leaders let in so they could get ahead, all of it just to rig the vote so they alone can win, no problem with condemning you to a future quite grim. Your life has no meaning to them, they’ll gladly leave you screwed, see the evil and don’t forget what was taken from you.
