The video is pretty terrifying. For grins, go search for the Democrat riot in Fairfax neighborhood in LA.
They’re chanting “Kill the Jews” in case the graffiti and smashed synagogue windows didn’t make it clear.
Reminds me when I was a kid and Al Sharpton staged a pogrom in Crown Heights. We had our front door kicked in – just like every door with a mezuzah, which marks it as a Jewish home. My dad chased them off with a shotgun – but he stood in cover and was planning on killing the intruders as they entered – no “brandishing” in our house – and we were waiting for entry into the home itself. (Gotta know your laws.)
I’m not sure he thought that far along. Lots of screaming in English, Hebrew, and whatever the home invaders were screaming. We kids were hidden in the basement.
He’ll probably fly there now just to give Iran the middle finger. Imagine doing so on the 4th, fireworks, Blue Angels, tanks, Marilyn Monroe and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
If I ever have to scare a roaming mob off of my property and become a viral video because of it, I just hope I can pull off a good Clint Eastwood “Get Off My Lawn,” and not come across like Fred from accounting with an AR-15.
Kudos to our pink polo hero and his wild-eyed wife, btw. They’re giving all of the recent first-time gun buyers confidence in their purchases.
Jokes aside, I feel bad for them. With cameras everywhere, any of us could get caught at our worst moment and become internet famous for fifteen minutes.
I do too. These peoples’ lives just got a lot more difficult because they had the audacity to stand up to a mob invading their property. It is hard to imagine a sentiment more anti-American than the idea that these people were doing anything other than their best with what they had.
I kind of like the fact that they were about as un-menacing as you can imagine. Sure, that made them the unfair targets of a lot of amusing jokes in extremely poor taste, but it also shows what a bunch of chumps that mob really was.
To paraphrase a variation of action movie lines uttered by a few of my childhood heroes (not pictured: Lee, B) …
I just rewatched Bloodsport yesterday with my little brothers for their first time. Man, I forgot how incredibly cheesy that movie is, and also, how awesome.
Realized that my “ideal” (for lack of a better term) body is now more like Chong Li instead of Frank Dux.
You haven’t lived until you’ve walked out to your boys chanting “CHONG LI! CHONG LI! CHONG LI!” to fake fight in the basement or the yard or wherever it is you do those things.
Back when that movie came out there was no UFC or MMA in the USA, so many of us actually believed that ninjitsu was probably the best martial art, in no small part because of Bloodsport.
edit: Also credit to American Ninja, as someone pointed out earlier. The 1980’s really were a time where a lot of us believed in the power of ninjas. It was awesome and I don’t think many people were seriously harmed by it. I wasn’t big into TMNT, but they were great too. Kicked a lot of ass with their ninjitsu.
