It isn’t just your imagination.  We really are witnessing a full-blown societal meltdown. 

Earlier today, a song entitled “We Don’t Need Another Hero” popped into my head.  Of course that song was recorded by Tina Turner for a 1985 film called “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” which featured Mel Gibson in his prime.  I hadn’t thought about that song for many years, and so I pulled it up on YouTube and listened to it.  Needless to say, it really is a great song.  But why would I be thinking about it today?  There had to be another reason.  I started going through the news, and I quickly realized what that reason was. 

In the United States today, there are millions upon millions of people that are completely and utterly lawless.  We really have become a “Mad Max society”, and the future of our country is going to be exceedingly bleak if we continue going down this road.

I could provide countless examples to prove my point, but for this article I have selected just 10.

The following are 10 examples from 10 different cities of the “Mad Max” environment that now reigns in America’s streets…

#1 Theft has become so rampant in Washington D.C. that CVS has replaced toilet paper and paper towels with “framed photos” of those products and a buzzer that customers must press to buy them…

#2 An axe-wielding carjacker in downtown St. Louis was shocked when one potential victim that he approached decided to pray…

#3 Four criminals wearing black ski masks recently robbed a jewelry dealer right in the middle of a highway in Los Angeles…

#4 Unconscious addicts are “sprawled across the road for hundreds of yards” every single morning in downtown San Francisco…

#5 In Oakland, a district attorney that got elected with the help of George Soros just had a laptop stolen from her own vehicle…

#6 How bad is crime in Dallas?  Well, it turns out that retail theft in the city was up 73 percent through the first six months of 2023…

#7 In Miami, MMA fighter Javier Baez had to fight for his life after a knife-wielding maniac started attacking him in the parking lot of his apartment complex…

#8 It is being alleged that a 16-year-old girl in Gordon, Nebraska slit the throat of her newborn baby and stuffed the dead body into a bag of dog food…

#9 In Chicago, conditions have gotten so bad that immigrants are fleeing the city in large numbers, and one even declared that “the American Dream doesn’t exist anymore”…

#10 I couldn’t do an article like this and leave out New York City.  The Big Apple is being overwhelmed by so many immigrants that Mayor Eric Adams is considering handing out tents and allowing them to camp in “parks and other outdoor spaces”…

This is our country now.

We have truly become a lawless nation, and there is no indication that we are going to turn things around any time soon.

If things are this bad now, what is going to happen once cataclysmic events start erupting all around us and our society descends into a state of chaos?

Even now, law enforcement agencies all over the United States cannot handle the level of crime that we are now witnessing.

If America had chosen a better path, things could have turned out much differently.

But we didn’t, and so now we are experiencing the very painful consequences of our very foolish decisions.
