What were they thinking?
I had one of those What-In-The-Wackbrain universe ?! moments in the wee hours of this Sunday. I saw a chart displaying a 2019-2020 rise of 34% for the Homicides By Firearms rate in America.
What-In-The-Wackbrain universe ?! is going on in the once-nifty cheeky colonies formerly known as the United States?
Pandemica, Economic Shock and Violent Nationalist Misfits can make a fella edgy, no doubt. We need to ban all weapons more deadly than a Mike Lindell My Damn Pillow fight could cause. (I have it on good advice that Lindell uses Llama feathers from immigrant Llamas without the proper papers. )
I do not know what to do about the distorted thoughts of people saying our most sacred commandment is the right to have enough firepower to blow up the internal organs of a couple dozen promising kids. Or to decapitate them.
My, that must be one mean-assed deer you need to tenderize and shred with just a few dozen rounds of supersonic flak, the metal of champions of death. Or are you stockpiling rounds to kill the oppressive postal carrier and the park campgrond managers from da gubblemint who’ve been tormenting and oppressing you?
How ‘zackly does a wackbrain inbox type up the scripts that appear in the outbox? Or is it a brainblunting syndrome that’s causing all this indefensible ethics and empathy void?
Anyway, the moment of wondering passed by the time I went to check the baseball scores.
There oughta be a law about something. Like making murder wrong again.
Meanwhile in Idaho yesterday,
Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested near an annual LGBTQ+ event Saturday in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, police said.
The suspects were booked on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said at an afternoon news conference. Among those in custody late Saturday was a man with the same name as Patriot Front's Dallas-based founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau.
White said police were made aware in recent days that a number of groups planned to disrupt Pride in the Park, an annual event highlighting civil rights struggles for the LGBTQ+ communities.
And they were into cosplay:
The suspects wore masks, had shields, and "looked like a little army," the chief said, quoting the caller who reported the suspicious activity.
Ten minutes after that 1:38 p.m. U-Haul report, police stopped the vehicle and a total of 31 people in "similar attire" were arrested, White said.
Hate is such an unseemly habit.
And speaking of habits, maybe a phalanx of semi-automatic nuns would fix all this bloodletting and rioting. You’d have to keep them in a locked nun-safe, of course.
Have a wonderful week ahead, okay?
