Ben Stein Writes about "Fear in My Own Back Yard" as Protest Threatens His Home!

Editor's note: My colleague Susan wrote yesterday about Satan rolling into town. As she pointed out, it isn't the first time. We've seen revolutions throughout history looting, burning, murder, etc. Ben Stein wrote about it happening in his own back yard. Think you're immune? Your neighborhood may be next.

ednesdayDinner at a fabulous sushi place in Greenville, South Carolina. Bob, my colleague, and I are visiting my son and my granddaughter and my son’s girlfriend. We were gnawing on beef dumplings when the phone rang.It was Alex. In a tense voice, she told me that the night before, there had been a Black Lives Matter rally about 50 feet from our swimming pool. Several hundred blacks and whites walked through the streets shouting, “Eat the rich!” One of them threw himself over the back wall and started to pry open one of our back doors. He was white and not wearing a shirt. One of our housekeepers, a stunningly beautiful Hispanic woman, Jennifer, yelled at him to leave and chased him back over the wall until he hid in a huge green trash barrel (which is where he belongs).
Then many more stood outside our back wall and shouted obscenities. My wife, Alex, and her nurse, Gemma, could see the rage on the rioters’ faces from our kitchen. (Read more....)

"Eat the rich"? That reminded me of the French Revolution when the aristocracy was targeted for the guillotine. But not just the aristocracy: the clergy, religious orders, anyone who refused to bless and sanction the activities of the revolutionaries. Get ready for the reign of terror. Like the women in this story locked in the bathroom, you better have a plan when the terrorists start knocking down your back door!
