"SNIP......

“Former President Trump on Tuesday decried the spike in smash-and-grab robberies that have taken place across the country, calling on Democrats to take action to ‘immediately’ stop the crimes,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump, in a statement: “If Democrats don’t immediately stop smash-and-grab robberies, which are taking place in their cities, the National Guard must be called out. There has never been such a thing that has happened in our Country.”

1. And just what did you do

for the last 4 years?

[captain queeg]

2. He's just mad he's not getting a cut. Nt

[calimary]

6. BOOM!!!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Christ, who gives a shit?

[Initech]

4. Of course he's blaming the Democrats.

5. This will be the next big outrage on Fox once the inflation and holiday cycle ends. It's not good.

The right will spin this as Biden being soft on crime and not protecting people and property. With these events having spread to states outside of California now, they are likely to become a major national news story any day now.

[Claustrum]

7. I agree with you.

Unfortunately, it fits in with the general idea that democrats are weak on economy, crime and immigration.

8. It doesn't matter

If the robbery was a smash and grab, an attempt to foist shonky goods or services or withholding money owing to a company or tradesperson; it's still fucking robbery.

9. I see what you did there. Good one!

10. The absence of locals willing to protect retail properties tells a story.

With all this confidence in the abilities of the armed militia and vigalante posses, what's the problem?
Does the possibility of facing an armed vigalante stop someone from protecting a store? Where is the line? Are the local vigilantes all talk and no action?

19. This is what the police are for....

To protect property.

These are likely organized online through one of the encrypted apps. These burglaries are destruction of property, theft, and most likely, larceny as they try to sell their stolen goods on ebay.

The Democrats do not control LOCAL police departments. Not a single one. Since it's clearly a trend, individual cities, townships, and municipalities are more than welcome to increase patrols in RETAIL areas. Individual Store owners or chains can also hire additional security. Even though it's widespread now, these are still local issues, not federal ones.

The local police and FBI should be watching FB marketplace, Ebay, Craigslist for mech reported stolen.

Way to go, GOP. The Party of law and order has brought us to the lawless vigilantism I read about in books depicting the fake old west.

21. IMO what I typed and what TFG said have the same effect. The message is not for us.

He is calling out to some of his followers, those followers who want to hear him say, "You need to be out there".

“If Democrats don’t immediately stop smash-and-grab robberies, which are taking place in their cities, the National Guard must be called out. There has never been such a thing that has happened in our Country.”

He doesn't say anything about policing. He is saying that if the Democrats don't stop this, then the Democrats are not going to call out the National Guard either.

Nothing has to make sense - a state's governor calls out the Guard? Single retail stores are national interests?

[Tommy Carcetti]

11. ............

Yes, it really is terrible when a mob of unruly people forcibly breaks into a place, tears it apart, and disrupts its regular business, all in an attempt to steal away something that was never rightfully theirs.

**Stares forward and blinks plainly**

[LeftInTX]

12. Really!

[applegrove]

15. Exactly.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Yeah okay

[applegrove]

14. Great toon.

[PSPS]

16. Why are you enlisting DU as trump's twitter replacement?

[applegrove]

17. I put TFG in the OP instead of his name. I wanted to get "Mr. Jan. 6th" out there.

Does that count for something?

[onethatcares]

18. from his words

the asshole wants to put troops in ALL the stores across the country.

that'll be great if we could just tax all the multi billionaires in order to pay for it. he left that part out.

[tanyev]

20. "There has never been such a thing that has happened in our Country."
