"Thou shalt not kill"...."an eye for an eye"...."does that not turn us into murderers".....
Come on fellas, do you really think those apply in this situation?
As Americans, like it or not, we are citizens of the greatest killing force in the history of the world. Open every newspaper in America, watch every local news show.....more often than not the lead story is about death, and more often than not, those deaths come to us in the form of some sort of government agency.
Make no mistake, we hand out the death penalty each and every day here in America. Each and Every Day.
Here's what really freaks me out......Up until he fired that assault rifle, James Holmes had not committed a crime and had not been under suspicion. How can that be?
If I order a freakin' book from Amazon about bird watching I'll get 40 e-mails the next day from bird watching groups. If I go online and buy heartworm medication for my dog, I'll get 10 pieces of mail from local veterinarians in the next two weeks.
How can this crazy bastard buy all of those guns, all of that ammunition, all of that SWAT gear, all of that bomb building equipment, and still not be noticed by the people that are charged with keeping the rest of us safe??
If I'm 45 seconds late with a credit card payment my phone rings off the hook and 17 reporting agencies are shooting my credit scores all over the world.
That kind of crap really pisses me off.
Carpe Diem -
