Another lone gunman. Another massacre.
The murders near Milwaukee today are heartbreaking. It may be cliche, it may not help in the slightest, but this GH really does extend the greatest sympathy for the victims and all their loved ones.
But still; why?
Because they look a little different from what Wisconsinites are "supposed" to look?
Uh, oh, bad gh! How dare you suggest race, ethnicity, religion, or any other reason may have influenced the white male shooter! If there is anything more likely to bring squeals of protest from you know who(s) than questioning why their gun rights are more important than my or your life, it's using the "r" word.
Oh, but who cares? They aren't "us." They are really faking it in order to get sympathy or gummint handouts or something right? They, whoever the "they" is in what ever circumstance, don't love their children like "we" do; or their neighbors, or anything else. Right?
I'm sure the cops love the publicity. Wonder how professional, trained law enforcement officers really feel about the idea of armed civilians getting in their way as the concealed carry advocates fantasize about? One thing is for sure, I didn't start this. The nra was politicizing guns before I even got out of the service. So when the problem of wholly preventable gun murders became an issue for the second amendment worshippers has nothing to do with me. I just have to live in the society they made.
Seriously though gun maniacs, when the police look like this do you really think you would stand a chance against them in open revolt? So what is the deal?
How many times will this happen? How many times will maniacs rise up to commit these horrific acts of violence? And are they becoming routine, almost normal occurances? A society is sick that cannot even question its assumptions about who holds the monopoly on violence.
