This is a rather, ummm, "interesting" piece about how police in the blue utopia of Springfield, MA, are using the same counterinsurgency tactics they used in Iraq. Now, I will not criticize the MA State Trooper who used his combat experience to try and clean up a town that had fallen to criminal gangs, especially since it was the tactic of getting the populace engaged in cleaning up their own town. What does strike me is the following:
Street gangs had become so intimidating in Springfield that citizens stopped calling the police on them. And no wonder: gangs were so strong that motorcycle-riding members once cruised a neighborhood with military-style assault rifles strapped to their backs in a show of force.

A citizenry trapped, helpless. I wonder, why is it we don't see these kind of things where democrats are
not in charge? Why is it these people have to live no better than the citizens of Fallujah in our own damn country?
My biggest question is to the Cavers that live in blue Hell: Why are you still there?
