Yet another peace keeper has been caught on video murdering a member of the public. It seems like an increasing trend. Perhaps it is. Or perhaps there are just more cameras. Either way, people (especially black people) are getting angrier and angrier about death sentences carried out in the American streets. The "journalists" at FoxNews tell me there is a war on police. Unfortunately, the average American citizen is majorly outgunned in this contest.
The police at home have become more militarized as the U.S. Empire has sought ever more Muslim dictatorships to topple abroad. A veritable jihad is being waged in the name of the Goddess of Democracy. As difficult as it is to build a democratic republic from the inside, it has proven nearly impossible to build them from the outside. The likes of Stalin, Mao, and Osama bin Laden all realized that the best way to deal with ideologically impure recalcitrants is to stop their defiant hearts from beating. And so it goes for any who attempt to thwart the Western plan for the new Middle East. So far, this has included hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Nearly 28 unintended people are killed for every person targeted in drone strikes. It is estimated that more than 170 children have been killed by U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan alone. The United States recently bombed a hospital in Afghanistan. Barack Obama, mafioso that he is, has even ordered hits on American citizens abroad who were deemed guilty of using speech to incite terrorism. I don't know about you, but I am not at all comfortable with the seeming ease with which our government, whether in Chicago or in Mosul, lethally disposes of its armed and unarmed opponents alike.
Now I know a lot of left wingers will agree with the above points. They despise police brutality as much as they detest the so called War on Terror. They want a peaceful world. They want a world where diplomacy is praised instead of denigrated. And then a man like Robert Dear comes along and murders three people with a rifle. The left wing is appalled that so many in America care more about their precious guns than the lives of their fellow man. More regulations are called for. Banishment of firearms in general is touted as a realistic solution.
Of course there immediately arises a logic problem to be overcome or, at the very least, ignored. Gun violence is bad. So, we need to get rid of the people's guns. But how can we make them hand over their beloved weapons? We will need to have more guns than they. The solution to our problem is superior firepower. We must make use of gun violence. We will solve the problem of domestic gun violence by placing all of our guns in the hands of the murderous State.
They who would suffocate a man for illegally selling cigarettes, they who would throw a flash grenade into an infant's playpen, they who blow up schools in Afghanistan, they who dropped atomic weapons on innocent people, they who sow violence across the globe and gun down their own citizens in the streets are to be trusted with everyone's weapons and charged with protecting us.
They can fuck off.
