So the NRA dude wants armed guards at every
school. Good promotional attempt to sell more guns and more membership cards,
because more armed guards means more legal guns and then more National Riffle
Association members.
The gun debate will never be solved in the USA
because of emotions and the near-blind reading of the constitution. But besides
this great divide, have a think at the beyond-realistic approach from the NRA
following the Newton massacre. If organizations like the NRA can’t come up with
some social-logic responses to what is clearly a serious issue, then they turn
into cavemen spin-doctors of insanity.
An armed gunman at every school. Which then I
guess the NRA also thinks and means that every guard will have decent training
to know how to shoot and how to respond to dramatic situations. That’s already
a serious obstacle. Guards + guns does absolutely not mean automatically extra
security.
But OK, let them believe that. Armed guards at
every school across the USA. And then… there is automatically a “what’s
next”-situation. Armed guards at every public library? At every public swimming
pool? At every train station? At every bus terminal? And every ferry terminal?
At every clinic? At every sports event? At every cultural event? At every church
and other religious temples? At every mall? At every cinema complex? And the
list goes on and on and on….
It is not realistic. The NRA got stuck in a
corner after the Newton killing spree and could only came up with this
ridiculous solution? Does this say something about the IQ level of NRA members?
Without going into political and emotional
sliproads, there is clearly something wrong in the US with gun ownership. Crazy
figures. Access to guns seem easier than access to beer.
Human behavior can be caveman-like. Let’s kill
to that!
But meanwhile Newton want be the same again.
Bloodstains schools and haunting memories. But politically we know that nothing
really will change and thus that we are simply on a path to another shoot out.
Countdown to the next massacre of innocence. There is something about gung-ho
mentality across America. Gangnam-Style
of trigger happy cowboys.
And then amidst the political debates,
heartbreaking funerals, TV shows and newspaper opinion pieces, came a statement
from the terrorist nutters of Boko Haram from Nigeria advising its members not
to travel the USA because of trigger happy madman here and there. Amazing how
an organization that drives suicide-bombers into churches can pen down such
words.
Human behavior is not base don braincell
activity.
Meanwhile back in South Africa, where there are
also trigger happy madmen, a airforce pilot has been grounded for “borrowing” a
jet to visit a friend in neighbouring Botswana. These kind of “borrowing”,
don’t they get some decent punishments in normal armies? Court martial stuff
etc.?
Meanwhile still in the South African defence
force a female officer got reprimanded because she went shopping in uniform but
wearing…. pink slippers. Tough GI Janes they got there in South Africa!!!!!
Human behavior is just a pink slipper away.
Also in the news across the globe. Syria’s
journey of bloodshed continues. But Moscow has send a ship nearby to be ready
to evacuate its citizens. Has Putin given up on butcher Al Assad? More
pedophilia reports in the UK. France regrets its “brutal” rule in Algeria. South
Sudan shoots down a UN chopper…. by mistake. Somali Pirates release crewmen
they held for 2 years. White extremists caught before they could attack the
gathering of the African National Congress in South Africa. Floods in England.
Cries of child abuse, as David Beckham’s 10-year-old son becomes a fashion
model. Putin wants to revive Russia’s pride. Another Afghani invasion unlikely but
some military rock and roll in Chechnya maybe…
Human behavior is guided by that moment. It
could be a moment of grand vision; a moment of insanity; a drunken moment; a
moment in history where foes come together for a blitz moment; a moment of
forgiveness; a moment of realization; a moment of pain and suffering; an
out-of-focus moment.
Throw Out. “The season’s upon us”. That’s right
and Boston lads Dropkick Murphys puts it in perspective and in this track which
feature son their upcoming January 2013 release “Signed and sealed in blood”.
