The images emerging from France and Italy offer a grim preview of what happens when a society surrenders its right to self-defense to an incompetent state. In Paris, a viral video captured a man pouring a pot of boiling water off a third-floor balcony onto a violent mob of Muslims and far-leftists looting and rioting on the street below. In a disarmed nation, a citizen watching his neighborhood burn is reduced to tenth-century improvisations while waiting for a police force that is overwhelmed, politically paralyzed, or worse.
This physical helplessness mirrors a broader civilizational collapse across Western Europe. In Great Britain, thousands of young girls — some estimates claim the figure to be in the hundreds of thousands — were subjected to systematic grooming, assault, and rape at the hands of gangs of Muslim immigrants over recent decades. This horror was enabled not only by police inaction, with the goal of avoiding being called “Islamiphobic,” but also a legal system explicitly designed to disarm the innocent.
