My fellow Americans amaze me. So many believe that our very lives, our way of life, are under attack from ISIS. As Americans, we are so, so quick to judge who is the enemy and if that enemy should be killed — not maimed — but killed.
Case in point: according to a county prosecutor, Tamir Rice, a 12 year old deceased black CHILD, was responsible for his own demise because of his life-threatening fear of a large BLACK CHILD wielding a fake gun, by a grown policeman. You know, these kinds of killings would not be tantamount to terrorism if these types of MURDERS did not occur so regularly. But they do!
And yet we obsess about the cruelties performed and exacted by, hmmmm….let me think a minute, a group of power-hungry bullies who make-up “religious policy” to support their madness and WE IGNORE our own home grown fanatics that often wear badges and/or suits and carry guns!
How is it possible for a large number of US born, reared and educated Americans to seriously support Donald Trump for any office, much less becoming POTUS or even receiving any considered to become the local trash collector? Has our tie to our country’s legacy and intelligence dropped so low that we have reverted to mental mongrelism? Even in “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” the locals, southern locals at that, mounted a vocal KKK member on a rail and threw him out!
Instead of fearing ISIS or ISIL, we should truly fear the society that we allow to metastasize into uncontrolled violence and idiocy. Prosecutors, judges, policemen and Wall Street Bankers should all be help accountable for their misdeeds. Children, all children, black, white Latino, et al, should not be “fair game” for those who are supposed to “serve and protect”.
I don’t care that the US Supreme Court rules twenty-five plus years ago that policemen have the right to shoo to kill, if they feel their lives are in danger! If your fears are that great, and you find it impossible to stop being a bully with a gun or are so god damned weak, you shoot and kill a kid- well just because — get another frickin job!
I’ve said it before, but my reach is clearly limited...”Wake-up America!” This crap has got to stop!
