The Last Refuge has an article on what they are referring to as ‘Safari Rules’ except the rules are in place, not for wild animals, but for the denizens of Democrat run cities. You should read the whole thing.
As Sundance puts it:
In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari. When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.
If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome. The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he/she should not have gotten out of the car,” and “she/he shouldn’t have traveled to (fill_in_blank)”, or “he/she should have known better when…“, etc.
The Safari Narrative includes verbiage (see above) that in any other context would be victim-blaming.
Because it’s easier to blame the victim of a crime then it is to take appropriate action on those that are committing the crimes.
But Lori Lightfoot in Chicago has taken the Safari rules to a whole new level. She’s blaming the non-criminal residents for not locking up their stuff securely enough to prevent a mob from smashing in their door and grabbing everything in sight.
“We still have retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night, chaining high-end bags. These purses can be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units,” Lightfoot said Monday.
So the city is running their police force off, tying the hands of the ones who stay, allowing riots and burning, making sure that everyone is wearing masks, and not prosecuting robbers and rioters, but it’s the retailers who won’t put in cameras or who are working so close to the edge that they can’t hire security guards (who pretty regularly are getting beaten or killed now) who are the problem.
I have a friend who was commuting into Chiraq for work. I say ‘was’. Part of the reason this person found a new gig was due to the danger of getting to and from work as well as not being able to even walk out to the car without a guard after dark.
You couldn’t get me in there at this point in time for any reason whatsoever. I don’t need to go on safari that badly.
