So, I just heard that an officer who betrayed his duty to stop a gun-toting mad dog from murdering innocent prospective students at Parkland High School in Florida has been exonerated. Just like the response to the incompetent Uvalde cops who, by the way, said it was the fault of women for that massacre, further buying into the right-wing B.S. promoting misogyny. I guess it's to be expected in a country where guns have more rights than both women and children (with the exception of unborn children, which comedian George Carlin rightfully implied doesn't make one iota of sense).
To me, this is a not-so-subtle attempt to once again ignore the pervasiveness of gun violence that's raping the country so hard, the gun's shaft is literally sore from friction burn. Forgive me for being crude, but that is what I'm seeing here. Anti-abortion talk is bullshit. Abortion kills children? To these people I'd like to ask, "Okay, well what'll you do when a mass shooter kills a pregnant woman? What then? Who's/what's to blame for the unborn child's death there?"
Looks like the right really believes ignorance is bliss, as they're being spoon-fed fresh butterscotch in the shape of big bucks from the immoral and greedy NRA. They say they care about the country and the pain its citizens are suffering, but we've all heard that spiel since even before Columbine. They can say that because they know they're protected. Because they stand for gun violence instead of against it, they can pretty much rest easy as they know the pro-gun nutcases out there will guard them to keep the violence humming right along. Again, this is me speculating, I don't know what goes on behind closed doors in politics. But after seeing a GOP running presidential candidate dodge questions from a high school student about Jan.6, 2021 and change the subject to moving America forward (very badly, I might add. 'Sides, he obviously wants to move backward - hiding the country's racist history from kids is not moving forward), I think anything's a fair guess.
All I can do is complain about and hope that my vote can be the deciding factor to drop the curtain on these "pseudo-patriots", as my friend Jazz Nevermore of Comic Fury calls them. 'Cause in all honesty, they really should be forcefully robbed of their power and locked up in the darkest, ugliest, and most unsanitary prisons we have in this country so they can wither from the guilt from all the citizens they screwed. If the country has any dignity for Oaths of Office, it should be done.
