In the topsy-turvy world of today’s political scene, causing a stir requires a certain flair, and some on the left are taking it to the next level. It seems that fiery rhetoric has become a favorite pastime for those who, shall we say, aren’t exactly fans of ICE agents. They’re egging on their followers to turn a blind eye to the law, and lately, things are boiling over from words to action. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that when passionate activists talk about turning guns on the so-called “fascist system,” someone is bound to take them seriously.

Take a spin around the Windy City, where a community college worker, no less, was caught on video barking about such things. And just like a classic broken record, this wasn’t the end of the tale. Now, you might scratch your head wondering, where’s the outcry? It became clear that we might want to rethink what “peaceful protest” should look like.

In one chaotic scene, a very unwelcomed guest — yes, the kind labeled as an illegal alien — was involved in incidents requiring careful scrutiny. The thumbprint of a society that shrugs at shielding sanctuary abusers is evident. Activists and politicians, somehow, think they can play the firebrand sermonizers and not get burned by the repercussions. These aren’t just words anymore. There are real risks at play here — to the officers, the public, and to those who inexplicably think they can ricochet off the law without bumping into consequences.

A quick little flashback to January 6th might make anyone’s head spin. People were up in arms, pointing fingers, screaming, “How could you attack a federal officer?” It begs the question: where’s the consistency? The chaotic scenes make it clear — some folks are putting their favorite slogans into dangerous action, and it’s about time we pay closer attention to the perilous path this rhetoric is carving out.
