Fox News ran a story with video of a massive protest against Donald Trump last evening. Actually, the media called it a 'Trump protest' instead of what it really was, an 'anti-Trump protest'. For those who don't get it the news people doing a wonderful job of letting us know their political preference.
Fox showed a video of what they called hundreds of protesters. To this eye it looked like thousands but that's neither here nor there. Yes, the thugs in Costa Mesa, California who perpetuated this disruption will show up again to do more public damage.
A major scene in the video showed a young person, maybe a man, on top of a police car jumping up and down caving in the hood. This 'kid' had a handkerchief covering his face. He looked like something out of the Wild West. In other words, he is a vandal of the highest order. But what was the point? Didn't he have the courage of his convictions to let the world know he is a flaming communist? Wouldn't he want to take pride in the fact that he destroyed public property of which the taxpayer will have to replace? "Hey, buster, you're crime was a worthless act".
At least Robert Redford and Paul Newman had the common decency to rob banks and trains without their faces covered in the movie Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.
I was reminiscing this morning about vandalism that occurred in my youth. There was that time when five or six of us pre-teens were out one summer night carousing. One of the guys had a bag of apples.
In the 50's street lights were like light bulbs. This kid started flinging apples until he broke one. Then he broke another. Now, yours truly being afraid of my own shadow high tailed it home. More than likely my Catholic conscience bothered me because I knew, if I hung around, I'd rack up years in Purgatory for these these transgressions.
So, if you happen to be a vandal but don't let folks know what's the point?
Just thought you'd like to know.
