When The Mob Rules, Truth And Justice Lose

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judea, gave the citizens a choice. They could save one man’s life while condemning the other to certain death. Imprisoned and awaiting his sentence was Barabbas, a criminal and rebel “who had committed murder in the insurrection” against the Romans. 

Betrayed by his disciple Judas for a handful of silver, Jesus was a “religious teacher and faith healer” – a man of peace who had lived without sin and been observed performing dozens of miracles. 

Jesus had a large following of disciples and believers by then. His legendary feats, including restoring sight to a blind man, bringing a widow’s son and a synagogue leader’s daughter back from the dead, and feeding thousands of people with just a handful of fish, had been marveled at by many.

But that day in the courtyard, Jesus’ followers were either absent or cowered into silence by the angry mob dominating the scene. 

An angry mob that was fueled by the Chief Priests and Pharisees, who feared Jesus and saw him as a threat to their fiefdom. To maintain their power, these supposed men of God manipulated the crowd to demand the execution of his only Son. Their actions crucified an innocent who had shown pure love for his fellow man and freed a “notorious prisoner” who had murdered, rebelled against, and robbed his fellow man. 

While there is no modern-day equivalent of Jesus, the same angry mob exists, as do the same hypocritical, self-serving leaders, and they are again choosing evil over good.  

From perpetuating the Ferguson lie of “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, to falsely claiming Border Patrol Agents on horseback whipped Haitian migrants with their reins, to comparing ICE agents to Nazi’s and fascists, Democrat leaders consistently feed into the angry mobs' fury against our nation's law enforcement officers (LEOs).

Financed by anti-American billionaires George Soros and Neville Singham, that angry mob is also well-funded and organized as it sows chaos during its march toward socialism and communism. 

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.

The angry mob freed a murderer. That same mob celebrates the release of cop-killers (47 in the past 9 years in NY) and makes celebrities out of violent criminals and murderers such as Ferguson’s Michael Brown, Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione.

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;

Domestic terrorist Renee Good, who tried to run over an ICE agent

Today’s angry mob cried out against…

Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for justifiably defending himself;

Former Marine Daniel Penny for trying to protect fellow riders from a violent, emotionally disturbed man on the subway;

Israel for defending itself after the October 7th Palestinian Islamic Terror attack, in which over 1,200 of its citizens were murdered and hundreds kidnapped.

Today’s mob remains remarkably silent for…

The 50+ LEOs feloniously murdered in the line of duty each year, including NYPD PO Jonathan Diller whose cold-blooded killer was just found not guilty of first-degree murder by a NYC jury despite clear video evidence of the crime. 

Laken RileySheridan Gorman, and the many innocent American victims of illegal aliens

Daily victims of recidivist criminals, the latest of which includes 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore killed during a drive-by shooting in Brooklyn.

Today’s angry mob uses intimidation and violence to defund the police, protect the criminals, push radical trans ideology, silence the majority, and scapegoat anyone with a contrasting point of view. 

They are loud and committed, but they are neither right nor righteous. It was foretold in the scriptures that Jesus would rise again, but if America falls, it has no such guarantee. 

More likely, cowering to the mob’s demands will result in America meeting the same miserable fate of other countries taken over by socialism, communism, and Islamism.  All the while, the angry mob will be cheering, and the majority will remain silent until they find themselves rationing food as in Cuba, eating zoo animals to survive as they did in Venezuela, or watching their youth be executed after sham government trials as in Iran.

Recognizing his mistake, Judas tried to return the silver and ended up committing suicide when he realized it was too late. In their silent complicity, Americans are committing civilizational suicide, and only God knows if they will realize their mistake before it is too late.
