If Boehner/McConnell were in Officer Wilson's shoes Mike Brown would still be robbing people

Here’s an interesting pre-Thanksgiving thought experiment.  How is the Wilson – Brown encounter like the Boehner/McConnell – El Presidente The Empty Suit encounter?

Wilson encounters a petulant punk thug Michael Brown walking in the middle of the street.  Wilson asks Brown to move to the sidewalk.  The Wilson notices that Brown fits the description of a lawless punk who just committed a strong armed robbery of a convenient store. 

Now Brown reaches into Wilson’s car and tries to seize Wilson’s weapon.  A struggle ensues and Wilson shoots Brown.  Brown tries to run away.  Wilson gives chase.  Brown high on drugs believes it’s a good strategy to stop running and attack Wilson.  Wilson shoots Brown 5-6 more times killing Brown.

Both Brown and TES are lawless petulant punks.  Both have been known to use drugs.  Both struggle to seize power that they are in no way entitled to seize.  That’s about where the wheels come off any similarities between Wilson and Boehner/McConnell. 

Wilson actually resisted Brown’s lawlessness.  When the two struggled for Wilson’s gun, Wilson shot Brown.  Boehner/McConnell have no stomach for pulling the trigger to defend themselves, their constitutional power or the American community at large against a lawless cretin. 

When Brown ran away, Wilson knowing a lawless punk thug and threat to the community when he sees one, gave chase.  Boehner/McConnell do the equivalent of putting up the window on the cruiser and staying safely ensconced in the car.

Wilson shoots Brown dead.  All hell breaks loose.  Boehner/McConnell do nothing.  All hell breaks loose.

Brown is dead.  He will no longer be able to wreak havoc on innocents.  TES is alive and well and emboldened.  He’s taken the measure of Boehner/McConnell and found that they are willing to let him run rough shod over the constitution and the American people.  Only more bad things can happen in the American community because Boehner/McConnell let TES go.

Brown’s death creates an excuse for lawless anti-American anarchists to take to the streets to cause trouble.  Boehner/McConnell’s acquiescence TES’s lawlessness creates an excuse for TES to continue his lawless behavior on a grander scale.

Moral of the story:  Lawless creeps usually do not stop being lawless creeps until confronted by a competent authority willing to use force if necessary.  Wilson exercised his authority, placing himself in grave danger while doing so.  He used reasonable force to protect himself and the community from a thug.  Boehner/McConnell ran away to protect themselves, leaving the community they are sworn to protect to fend for themselves while the Caligula D.C. political-class lifers saved their own skin.  Patton rightly called such people cowards.

But hey, Thanksgiving is upon us.  Let’s not be too hard on them.  Boehner/McConnell may still go on to do great things.  Had Wilson just run away from Brown, Ferguson wouldn’t have burned until the next incident, and there certainly would be “a next incident” and burn it certainly would.  Had Wilson not shot Brown, Wilson would still be on duty with the Ferguson police force and be around get Miss O’Leary’s cat out of a tree. Meanwhile, Mike Brown would be busy smashing some poor guy’s head in for the $10 in his wallet.  Refer back to the moral of the story.    

So Boehner/McConnell may still pass legislation restricting Robertscare on the margins, legislation that TES will veto.  And TES will go on wrecking the constitution and America with impunity.  Refer back to the moral of the story.

But hey, as noted, Thanksgiving is upon, so let’s not go all negative all the time here.  Thanksgiving can mean only one thing, big sis is getting another year older.  How old?  Follow the link.  Happy birthday sis.
