I just heard this quote:
“If you are kind to the cruel, you’ll be forced to be cruel to the kind”
Think of muslim terrorists allowed to set up shop in the US through the Muslim Brotherhood., and Americans being killed by terrorists. Think of BLM and Antifa maiming and killing, while the innocent get killed by them.
If you give the cruel a break or a chance to prove themselves, you hurt the law abiding citizens. The savages will hide behind the innocent.
It didn’t start at 9/11, but the Patriot Act accelerated it.
