More on Chico Ladies Fight Back

Part two of two

CONT-  Road Rage Guy’s behavior was of course repugnant, but it’s illustrative of what decent people of Chico run up against almost daily.

Our city is being divided along political lines.  On one side, we have the highly emotional progressives that substitute feelings for facts and live in a land of rainbows and unicorns.    They think tiny houses and freebees for all is the answer; that if the mean ol employed folks would just treat the bums, drunks and drug addicts real nice they will be nice. They won’t steal, rob or create mounds of trash… you just have to be nicer to them, oh, and provide them with a tiny house.

Currently the local democratic socialist club and their progressive allies, give out free tents, free food and they support the free needle giveaway program.  That comes with cookers and a rubber tie off for injecting heroin.   They also they support wet shelters (those places with no rules to cover drunken behavior’).  They support a lot of things that are wrong that trash our town.

The 4 progressives on the Chico council have played a big role in attracting problem people to Chico.  For example, they recently supported giving bums free hotel rooms and if that wasn’t enough, they gave permission for bums to camp in Bidwell Park.  That is illegal according to the City Code.  Of course that has caused a major trash problem among other things… we saw that coming, except for the progressives.  They were all taken by surprise that the trash would be so bad!

However, the more the community complained about the growing bum population,  the more militant the activists opposing them have become, including the four on the city council.

Some of our local radicals have resorted to intimidation tactics.  They’ve broken out the large plate glass window at an ice cream parlor 3 times because the owner is one of two conservatives that still serves on the city council.  Other conservative owned businesses have been similarly attacked with graffiti and vandalism.   Even a billboard was recently destroyed south of town.  The billboard said something similar to…welcome to Chico, home of bums and drugs.  A true statement too!  Heroin and methamphetamine overdoes are common in Chico and only a few years ago they were almost non-existent.  As the drug problems has grown so has a host of street crimes, such as car burglaries, bike thefts, stabbings and worse.

Families coming to Chico to see their child off to college at CSUC are often appalled by what they see.  This has resulted in students leaving and going to a safer community.  You know things are really bad when a police car is firebombed next to the university police station, right?  The list of crimes is horrific and yet the police get absolutely no support from the progressives or the 4 liberals on the council.  They want to defund the police!  It’s absolutely a crime what is happening here.

The two sides are clearly divided between the average citizen and the militant progressive.  The latter of course is the source of the violence and its growing.  But there is a new group of people rising up to meet this challenge.  They have had enough of this crime, drugs and trash and they are not going to be intimidated, but most are senior citizens and not physically able to stand up against the rabid left.   Still, they do what they can, like the  ladies petitioning in the parking lot or the Chico First Group that seeks safe playgrounds for the kids.
