“It actually is the only thing that does,” Cruz said. “Violence doesn’t solve violence? That is actually why the left wants to abolish police and why you see murder rates skyrocketing.”

Police violence is good!

Violence is the only thing that keeps Ted Cruz safe in his mansion in River Oaks. Or his office in the Senate.

And, of course:EVERYBODY MUST GET GUN!

I remember when this guy was considered a brilliant debater. The standards for debate are much lower than I realized.

AND violence defeats violence? Isn’t that just saying when you do it to me it’s violence, but when I do it to you it’s justified? Granted that’s the premise of every Hollywood movie since film began (the bad guys start it, the good guys finish it), but that’s not exactly sound public policy.
