There is an old proverb that says: WISDOM IN LIFE IS TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP.
- Many government authorities and social leaders passed that point long ago, and now their efforts to impose political correctness resemble self-parody.
- But as it usually happens, the pendulum will eventually swing the opposite way. In high schools and universities it's cool to defy professors' and administrators' left wing ideology and political correctness. Now it's a sign of non-conformism to be a conservative.
- However, there is always the danger that the pendulum may swing too far to the right. Things could get very ugly in a severe economic crisis or a major natural disaster, when rules of civility break down amidst scarcity and lawlessness.
- The ingredients for social chaos are already here, exacerbated by the political exploitation of minorities' grievances.
- Miami Herald's headline: As Hurricane Irma raged, thieves sledgehammered way into Little River businesses.
- It's very likely that there is going to be a rise in gun purchases in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, when people have felt so very much on their own.
- The following article exposes one more example of political correctness taken ad absurdum.
- And if you think this is bad, wait till you read article about the Finland's Police Superintendent who said that migrants who support terror should be admitted to high schools to expand tolerance and facilitate integration. Yes, he really said that. Read article further down this page.
Portland Police Erase Their Gang Database to Spare the Sensitivities of Racial Minorities, who Constitute the Majority of Gang Members
Some police officers have voiced their concerns about the new policy, fearing it will impact their ability to tackle gang crime in Portland. We should also question the lack of sympathy for gang crime victims' feelings. This comes in the context of president Trump's promise to fight and destroy criminal gangs in the USA. The decision by the Portland Police won't make that job any easier.
Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to “unintended consequences” and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle.
“There are still criminal gang members. That doesn’t go away because we don’t have a gang designation,” said Capt. Mike Krantz, according to The Oregonian. “We’re not pretending gang violence doesn’t exist. We’re just taking this one thing away.”
