The Liberal Elite loves Sanctuary Cities.

Nothing makes them feel more virtuous than claiming they are out to help the poor minorities escape destitution by allowing them sanctuary in the United States… while at the same time paying them little under the table to keep their mansions clean, their yards manicured, and their Olympic size swimming pools crystal clear.

The problem is that when they protect their nannies, maids, and gardeners, they are also protecting drug dealers, rapists, and organized crime.  Now, the rich neighborhoods of New York and DC are under siege by MS-13.

Now these people have to deal with the fallout of they situation they created.  This is called being bit in the ass by the law of unintended consequences.

Hamptons millionaires build luxe panic rooms to hide from MS-13

There is a specter haunting the Hamptons — one that’s turning some of the priciest properties in the country into fortresses equipped with bulletproof glass, weaponry and panic rooms.

MS-13.  It’s not specter though, it is a Salvadorian illegal immigrant drug gang.

  “I sleep with a gun underneath my pillow: a Walther PPK/S, the same one James Bond carried,” said John Catsimatidis, owner of Red Apple Group and Gristedes Foods, who has a vacation property in East Quogue. “[My wife] Margo prefers a shotgun. Although, once, she thought she heard something, got the shotgun out and shot through the door.”

So these rich assholes buy guns to protect themselves and fuck it up.

Keeping a gun under your pillow is both stupid and dangerous.  Dangerous because you have no idea where it is pointed.  Stupid because you have no idea where it will end up when you toss and turn.  What’s wrong with a nightstand at the very least?

Also, a PPK/S?  I have a PPK.  It’s not bad, it’s a pocket gun, a little outdated in design but I wanted it.  Would it be my go to home defense gun?  No.  Would I use it if I had to, sure, but it’s down on the list.  This guy clearly bought it because of James Bond.  I guarantee if he’s ever shot it, it’s been no more than one mag worth.  This is not preparedness by any means.

Lastly, his wife took Biden’s bad advice.  Shooting through doors is a great way to go to jail for killing a family member.

These wealthy morons are more of a danger to each other or their kids than they are to any home invading gang members.

The billionaire and his family, like others in the Hamptons, are shaken up over concerns that the vicious Salvadorian gang MS-13 is too close for comfort. In April, members of the gang massacred four young men behind a soccer field in Central Islip. Three months later, a Hampton Bays brothel raided by police was found to be tagged with an MS-13 sign. And in 2016, a man with MS-13 connections broke into a Southampton home and sexually assaulted a woman.

Last year, Southampton Town Police Chief Steven Skrynecki publicly expressed concern that the gang might spread further east. When he deployed police equipped with antiterrorism gear, including automatic weapons, along the perimeters of summer 2017 charity galas, locals took note. 

Trust the New York cops to put on a show about protecting the rich and powerful at their galas but not campaign against sanctuary city laws.

One Southampton homeowner, who requested to remain anonymous for security reasons, recently outfitted her East End manse with bulletproof glass and hidden cameras throughout.

“[MS-13 is] in Suffolk County,” she said. “What’s an hour car ride? They are near.”

She’s not alone in her concern. “The home-security business is very event- and news-driven,” said Gary Blum, president of Armored Entry, a company that installs bullet-proof, super-secure windows and doors. “We get business when there is a tremendous amount of fear being generated.”

Blum’s products aren’t cheap, starting at $6,000 for a single window “that you can beat with a sledgehammer without making a dent.”

But the high price might actually be a selling point.

“The big thing [with homeowners] in the Hamptons is that if somebody has it, they [all] want it,” said Chris Cosban, a Long Island contractor who installs panic rooms in the area’s mansions. His company, Covert Interiors, charges between $25,000 and $200,000 for a standard space. (High-tech add-ons, such as fingerprint recognition, cost extra.) “There is a wow factor,” he said. “They like to brag about it.”

And there we have it.  These rich assholes treat their security like another Ferrari to show off.  No wonder they have no plan to back down from their sanctuary city ideals.  They don’t really worry about their community.  As long as they can afford their security measures and show off their new toys, they will let the laws of unintended consequences happen.

Herman Weisberg, managing director of the personal-security firm Sage Intelligence Group, said many of his clients look at their panic rooms like amenity spaces — doubling as home theaters, wine cellars or even gun vaults where weapons can be safely displayed.

Ha ha ha… security theater.

“People used to open up their garages and show off their Lamborghinis,” Weisberg said. “Now they take guests to the wine bar in their safe room.”
Catsimatidis, who, in addition to worrying about MS-13 has also had his home broken into, is installing infrared sensors at his place. But that’s nothing compared to the security measures that Al Corbi, president of SAFE (Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments), an architecture-focused security firm, has designed for customers, including Hamptonites.

These people are going to die because their panic rooms are just toys.

He pointed to people such as billionaire investor Ira Rennert, who reportedly keeps a Hummer packed with guards at the edge of his 63-acre Sagaponack estate, which includes a 110,000-square-foot, 29-bedroom mansion.

“The neighbors do not love a Hummer sitting on Peters Pond beach,” the source said. “I don’t know why he needs that. But billionaires [like] security and there are a lot billionaires in the Hamptons. I think they get more paranoid the richer they become.”

At least this guy is smart enough to know he’s not capable of defending himself with a gun.

I guess when you are so rich you don’t even make your own coffee anymore, you lose the ability to handle the more important things in your life like your own personal protection.

These people are buying guns and panic rooms and they treat them in the least serious ways possible.

It makes you wonder how these people got to be so rich in the first place.

This reminds me of the interview with  T. Sean Collins in World War Z.  He’s the bodyguard hired to protect the mansion full of celebrities on Long Island that got overrun because everyone was and idiot.  Read the book, it’s worth it (or the sections of the Audio book here on YouTube Part 1 and Part 2).

I don’t actually foresee this people surviving a home invasion.  They will die with magazines expended into walls and through doors.

Not attracting attention to themselves, buying practical guns and practicing with them, developing a family action plan and treating a safe room as a safe room is much better advice.  But that goes against their natural inclination as Hampton billionaires to show off their wealth and opulence.

So from I have read, Senator Cory Booker said he was Spartacus.

He called himself  gladiator, a person who was a slave and had to fight under orders of his master.

OK.

I saw the screen cap over McThag’s.

Sign of the things to come? Goose-Gander and all that.

In the wake of the Kavanaugh confirmation, we’ve seen news outlets and Lefty celebrities give the Democrats advice on what to do about their defeat.

None suggest that the Democrats take a more moderate approach, try to understand why their grievance politics are so offensive to so many people.

Instead, the advice looks like this:

The Left threw civility out the window with the accusations of gang rape, cornering Senators in offices, and willingly getting arrested in the Senate building.

Except it is a call for violence, because the protesters stopped just short of that.  Disobedience was used and it got Flake to delay a week and Murkowski to vote present.

Or this headline from Politico:

Democrats Fear They’re the Wet Rag Party
Kavanaugh’s victory leaves many on the left saying it’s time to get mad—and even.

How much more mad could the Democrats have gotten?

Furthermore, considering how the way their anger manifested has caused any lead they had in polls for the 2018 election to evaporate, if they lose seats in November, how will they get even?

A belief in one’s own virtue feels good. Losing a battle that could shape the American political landscape for decades feels bad. The tension between the two left some Democrats grappling anew this weekend with the implications: Maybe they really are the Wet Rag Party.

“They are more ruthless,” said Jennifer Palmieri, who over a quarter-century has served as a top aide to Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. “And I don’t want to be like them. … The answer can’t be for Democrats to be just as cynical.”

She means that the Republicans are more ruthless and the Democrats must act like that.

Funny that, because I don’t see Republicans Tweeting things like this:

It’s not just about political victories, it’s about ruining lives.

Is this the new Democrat standard.  Stand up to them and you will be destroyed in private?

This is more or less the Michelle Obama Doctrine, as articulated at the 2016 Democratic convention, just a few weeks before Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump: “When they go low, we go high.” Post-Kavanaugh Democrats interviewed this weekend aren’t exactly repudiating this idea—but they are qualifying it in important ways. As they articulate it, their answer is to be more realistic about what they see as Republicans’ strategy to disregard principle and process in their pursuit of power—as they argue the GOP did in ramming through Kavanaugh despite accusations of sexual assault—and more disciplined in a long-term way in fighting back.

So the chants of “shame,” the vagina costumes, the Handmaids Take outfits, the waiving and mailing of coat hangers to Senators, the screaming hysterics was going high?

“Democrats are the first to believe elite opinion and editorial-page opinion represent America, and they don’t,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

True.

When he worked as an aide to President Bill Clinton, Emanuel said, he often heard Clinton’s view that ever since Lyndon B. Johnson and Vietnam, Democrats have had “a physical allergic reaction about exercising power in pursuit of your goals.”

What?  Obamacare?  Does “a pen and a phone” ring a bell?

I’m aware that the Democrats suffer from projection, but this is historical revisionism.

But the example of Michael Avenatti highlights a tension for Democrats. As he flirts with an improbable 2020 presidential run, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels says his motto is: “When they go low, we hit harder.” People on both sides of the nomination fight said he probably helped Kavanaugh by introducing less credible allegations, showing that scorched earth isn’t necessarily fertile ground for Democrats.

I’m not sure they learned that, and if they did it’s only in hindsight.

Emanuel, who recently decided not to seek reelection in part because of dissent from his leadership within his own party, doesn’t frame it so starkly. “It’s not about being meaner and more vicious than the other side. It’s being tougher and ruthless about achieving your real mission” on policies, he told me.

Ruthless?  Like hounding opponents out of restaurants, having interns doxx them, or sending them death threats?

Amid Kavanaugh furor & threats to mbrs, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) tells Fox that his wife received a text with a video attachment showing a gruesome beheading. Someone has has also released the names of and addresses of his family members.

This entire OpEd basically ignores every Democrat dirty trick.  Remember that Obama became a Senator because his people got his opponents sealed divorce opened to the media.

The Democrats are just upset that for the first time the Republicans stood up to the dirty tricks.

This is no different than their complaints about the electoral college.  As soon as they lose because they overplayed their hand (taking Wisconsin and Michigan for granted), they bitch about the rules and how the GOP doesn’t play fair.

It was Harry Reid that ended the 60 vote rule for SCOTUS nominations because the Dems thought that they would never be in the minority again.

The question is how much worse can they get?

If this confirmation hearing was the Dems being a wet rag and holding it back, I don’t want to see them being “ruthless.”

Jerry Saltz is the senior art critic for the New York Magazine:

What Jerry proposes is that all the screeching harpies, faux fighters and subs standard screaming males do not make a sound or talk to their families if the happen to be Republican?

Exactly what is the downside in all this for us?

Miguel posted this video about Trump’s cult like force.

I caught something else, much worse, in Alyssa Milano’s statement.

Milano claims that 80% of sexual assaults are not reported.

Her line of logic is therefore, when one is reported it must be true.  I’m going to ignore that last part of that and focus on the first part.

What I’m about to say is going to be cold hearted and mean, but I don’t feel like I have any choice.

Ladies, we cannot help you or take your complaints seriously if you cannot help yourself.

The whole Kavanaugh issue really turned into “because other men did horrible things, we have to destroy Kavanaugh because he was accused of doing something horrible even though there was no evidence.”

When there was push back against this, invoking due process and the rights of the accused, the response was “but other men.”

Woman after woman screaming in protest and at Senators claiming to be survivors, yet I am to understand that 8 out of 10 of them didn’t report their own assault so now Kavanaugh must pay the price.

Ladies, this is not how you make a civil society function.  Transference and collective punishment is not the foundation of a healthy judicial system.

If you are mad enough about your own sexual assault to scream and cry and demand that another man suffer, why were you not mad enough to report the assault that happened to you?

If you are a survivor that screams in solidarity with other survivors, why did you not report your own assault?  Why allow you rapist or attacker to go free and commit more rapes and assaults when your report could have stopped him?

I keep hearing “it’s hard.”   Yeah.  So is becoming a member of the board, or Senior Managing Partner, or CEO.  Women are supposed to be as tough enough to do that, but it’s somehow acceptable for women not to have the fortitude to report their own sexual assault.

I know I’m going to be accused of victim blaming here but that’s not what this is at at all.

Screaming hysterically how you are a victim and some other guy that didn’t hurt your must be destroyed, while you never reported or charged the man that hurt you, makes you look unserious and unbalanced.

I agree, rape and sexual assault are horrible crimes.  They must be stopped.  We can’t stop them if you don’t report them.

We can’t help you if you can’t help yourselves.

You don’t have to go all Paul Kersey on your attacker, but you have to take the first step.

Man up.

Watching the mob protesting the process is a confirmation the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is equally important.
