A retired U.S. Army officer and police officer examines how modern-day angry mobs, fueled by anti-law enforcement rhetoric from political leaders, are undermining the principles of justice and truth in America, much like the mob that demanded the execution of Jesus and the release of the criminal Barabbas 2,000 years ago.

Why it matters

This commentary highlights the growing threat that organized, well-funded mobs pose to the foundations of American democracy, as they seek to demonize law enforcement, elevate criminals, and push radical ideologies while silencing dissenting voices. It serves as a warning about the dangers of mob rule and the erosion of the rule of law.

The details

The author draws parallels between the mob that demanded the crucifixion of Jesus and the release of the murderer Barabbas, and the modern-day angry mobs that are fueled by anti-law enforcement rhetoric from political leaders. These mobs have perpetuated false narratives, such as the 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' lie from the Ferguson incident, and have celebrated the release of cop-killers and made celebrities out of violent criminals. The author argues that these mobs, financed by anti-American billionaires, are sowing chaos in their march towards socialism and communism, and are using intimidation and violence to defund the police, protect criminals, push radical ideologies, and silence the majority.

  • Nearly 2,000 years ago, Pontius Pilate gave the citizens a choice to save one man's life while condemning the other to death.
  • In the past 9 years, 47 cop-killers have been released in New York.

What they’re saying

“The angry mob spat on Jesus as he dragged his cross up the hill. That same mob spits on (and throws cement blocks at) our LEOs as they carry out their official duties.”

— Mike Simonelli, Retired U.S. Army officer and retired police officer

“Today's angry mob cried out in support for drag queen story time in libraries, boys in girls' locker rooms, and mutilating confused children; releasing MS-13 gang-member, wife abuser, illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia; and domestic terrorist Renee Good, who tried to run over an ICE agent.”

— Mike Simonelli, Retired U.S. Army officer and retired police officer

What’s next

As the author warns, the continued capitulation to the demands of the angry mob could lead America down a dangerous path towards socialism, communism, and Islamism, with devastating consequences for the country's future.

The takeaway

This commentary serves as a stark reminder that the rule of law and the principles of truth and justice must be upheld, even in the face of vocal and well-organized mobs. Failure to do so could result in the unthinkable, as seen throughout history and in modern-day America.
