(11,282 posts)Look at what happened in Missouri when protesters WALKED PAST A HOUSE ... the assholes came running out with guns drawn (woman had finger on the trigger while waving a handgun around).
Consequences? Minor inconvenience, conservative celebrity status as a Muppet / prop, and a fool hardy political campaign.
The worst part of all of this is the drain it places on our collective sense of empathy. We are shocked and rocked again and again and again and much like getting use to cold or hot water, he effect is numbing and desensitizing.
Its time to force America to SEE and LOOK UPON what we have allowed to come to pass. No more excuses, no more bullshit about "rights" or "self-protection". Last month 20 kids were killed at school while people too cowardly to call them cops sat in the hallway for over an hour. Yesterday a toddler lost BOTH PARENTS to an insane person with a gun and the ability to spray 70 shots at random into people in under a minute of firing.
This is fucking lunacy and if THIS is "America", I no longer want anything to do with it.
Let us start over and strive for better.
The new name?
The United States of Vespuccia (Ves-poo-chia) USV! USV! USV!
My country 'tis of thee...land where no guns are free, to thee I sing.
