How often these things happen to pop up. Another mass shooting. El Paso, a red state again. A Walmart again. A heavily armed disgruntled young guy again. Why Red States,...because that's where the guns are.
Like the last Walmart shooter this is another Klan/Nazi fanboy, and #45 supporter who writes essays online of the dangers of race mixing. He's the sort that sits at his computer too much.
But there are many tens of millions like that,...me for instance. But we don't shoot anyone.
However some do. Only takes a handful.
This one killed 22, and wounded about 26+. Anti-Hispanic White Nationalism the openly stated reason in the shooter's manifesto. This put online 20 minutes before he started shooting.
He was enraged deluded, and heavily armed. This is a civil war in all but name. In satire I said last time for the nut job killers to get serious, and up the body count. I didn't think they'd take me literally.
Of course nothing will change nothing will be done. The mass killings will just continue for years decades forever....we just loves guns so there it is. If this means a whole school full of 7 year old kids get slaughtered.
Tough.
Ya know if they made those images of that particular mass killing. Sandy Hook. If they went public with those this would all be over. The kids were burst open like water balloons.
Take a 7 year old shoot her or him with several military grade rounds,...do the math.
Why do you think I call this place "Thoughts, and Prayers".
I'm weary so tired of the madness loose in this republic. The country has become like Terry Gilliam's surreal blood splattered satire film "Brazil". Only not as funny.
"Mind near exhaustion still makes its final futile movement towards that 'way out or round or through the impasse'.
ReplyDeleteThat is the utmost now that mind can do. And this, its last expiring thrust, is to demonstrate that the door closes upon us for evermore.
There is no way out, or round or through."
-H. G. Wells, "Mind at the End of Its Tether", 1945
‘The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now…’ -J. G .Ballard
ReplyDelete"The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer.
ReplyDeleteThis may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization." -Robert Anton Wilson
A historical note. I met Mr. A.H. Wilson over the glass of a copier machine at the radio station I wasted my life at.
ReplyDeleteWe were hovering over said glass snorting various amounts of Cocaine, and Speed. I found him a pleasant gentleman, and a fine conversationalist.
I mention this to illustrate that there are tiny fragments of Hope peppered about.
I've watched a good many videos of Wilson speaking. Very few people can talk for two hours and stay that interesting. I'm not surprised to learn he was good company.
ReplyDelete"For if we discard our fond illusion that the human race has a privileged or providential status in the life of the universe, it seems plain that the malignant death instinct is a built-in guarantee that the human experiment, if it fails to attain its possible perfection, will cancel itself out, as the dinosaur experiment canceled itself out."
ReplyDelete-Norman O. Brown, "Life Against Death"
Yes, but Robert was funny, and the coke was great.
