You don’t need a Ph.D. in common sense to see exactly what Rob Finnerty was pointing out: Liberal-run cities and radical activist networks have turned political rage into targeted violence against the people who keep our streets and borders safe. The latest grotesque example is the sniper attack on the ICE facility in Dallas on September 24, 2025 — an act of domestic terror that left detainees dead and sent a clear message that hatred against law enforcement has consequences.
That Dallas shooter stalked his victims from a rooftop and left behind ammunition marked with anti-ICE slogans, showing this was not a random act but deliberate, politicized violence aimed at federal officers and their work. Families are grieving while Democrat mayors and left-wing activists point fingers elsewhere instead of calling out the radical mobs that cheer these attacks.
This is not an isolated incident; we’ve seen escalating assaults on ICE and Border Patrol facilities, riots that corner officers, and even vehicles used as weapons against federal personnel — all amid an environment of excused lawlessness. The Department of Homeland Security and federal prosecutors are finally starting to crack down on Antifa-aligned and far-left extremists who have repeatedly assaulted officers, but these are reactive measures after the damage is already done.
Rather than confront the dangerous rhetoric they helped unleash, too many Democratic leaders and legacy media outlets reflexively minimize or moralize these attacks, pretending they’re understandable expressions of protest. DHS officials have explicitly warned the press and the far left to stop demonizing law enforcement and federal agents before someone else gets killed, yet the calls for restraint are met with silence from the people who should know better.
The federal government has signaled a tougher posture to prosecute and dismantle organized political violence, because the rule of law cannot coexist with mobs and targeted terrorism against officers and families. Conservatives who believe in law and order should applaud firm action, push for stronger penalties for political violence, and demand accountability from mayors and prosecutors who enable the chaos.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who protect communities and respect the thin blue line that stands between liberty and anarchy. If Democrats continue to look the other way or excuse violence in the name of politics, voters will remember at the ballot box — and the country will pay the price for tolerating lawlessness.
