I respectfully disagree with some here in reference to mass shootings...

These RW politicians and zealots do not want this to “go away”. Yes, it is true that they release as little information as possible, and state and restate the same trivial platitudes and cliches over and over and over again, and all the rest of their illogical bullshit. In a normal situation, this all might be construed as a matter of covering up the situation, and trying to escape from it.

But having watched their behavior for what seems like decades now, I think that these people want this stuff to happen. It keeps people afraid, cowed, paranoid, scared to death, and supportive of a militarized police force. It makes people prone to elect hard-core RW politicians, who are publicly stating that they are for gun rights for the average citizen in order for them to protect themselves from criminals, for the death penalty, particularly for minority offenders, and it lends itself to wishful thinking, which would tend to call for a repressive, aggressive police presence in every facet of the society.

We saw this after 9/11: a diverse majority of the populace favored removing constitutional rights from suspects in order to ostensibly promote the safety of the masses. I had chronicled here over the years, otherwise right-thinking people who went off the rails and advocated for a police state rather than a democratic one. People were seeing terrorists working at the 7-Eleven, ringing up their coffee and Slim Jim’s.

Nearly everyone I speak to voices fear and concerns about going out of the house, about sending their kids to school, about going shopping, about self-service gas stations, about every action which used to be routine. We live in abject fear of crime, which is best exemplified from a Commercial and publicity viewpoint and basis as mass shootings, which certainly get everyone’s attention, and is another nail in the coffin of the sanctity of our right to pursue happiness.

Rather than say that these people are covering this up, I would state that this is part of their plan which will enable them to pass laws which repress our behavior , whether it be our voting behaviors and right-to-vote, have school selection and curriculum selection behavior, our right to protest behavior, and eventually choice of religion and which books we can read. In fact, they have already begun work with “fruitful” results on several I mentioned, as well as of course, the limitations upon pregnancy termination, and very soon, all forms of contraception . They are working very hard at this, and we calmly sit back and say to ourselves “well they certainly wouldn’t do blah blah blah” but make no mistake about it, they will. You can bet the house on it. They’re well on their way and their dreams are vivid and boundless.
