Dixie on the Rocks 11 May 2023: White Vigilantism & the End of the Rule of Law
Manage episode 363096153 series 3419992
This evening on Dixie on the Rocks, Padraig Martin discusses the rise of White vigilantism, the reasons that White people feel they need to take law enforcement into their own hands, and the latest batch of laws intended to disarm White collectives. A slew of new laws around the United States have been passed this past legislative session to curb "militias" - but those laws seem explicitly designed to disarm and disenfranchise White Americans. The case of White US Army veteran Daniel Perry in Texas, White US Marine Daniel Penny in New York, and other Whites who have been forced into positions of defending themselves in an increasingly unjust system. The rule of law is gone - what will White men likely do? More importantly, what will happen to them? Why "blue lives" really do not matter, what White men will likely do to reestablish the rule of law - and what the government will do to stop them. The system is getting nervous. States do not build laws to criminalize defensive organizations unless they feel there is a real need to suppress them. Something is building... Come have a listen!
