For a short while, the thing called “gun violence” was uppermost in the minds of the blabbering class. Two lovely young people, Alison Parker (news reporter) and Adam Ward (photojournalist), of Roanoke, Virginia, were gunned-down on live TV, in a scene reminiscent of the film “15 Minutes,” in which an anchor’s drive for ratings and a murderer’s quest for his 15 Minutes of Fame result in … gun, fist and other gratuitous, on-air violence.
A week on, CNN’s Poppy Harlow was using the language of George Orwell’s Oceania to describe the entity, “gun violence,” that “took” the life of poor Deputy Darren Goforth, of Harris County, Texas. Shortly thereafter, the same inchoate culprit claimed Lt. Joe Gliniewicz of Fox Lake, Illinois.
Ambush assaults on police are, indubitably, up. And so is Orwellian newsspeak.
In Roanoke and Harris County, black men were implicated in directing the guns at Parker, Ward and Goforth. The killers acted on a tip from their mentors in media. That’s right: Do not be so hard on the “Black Lives Matter” movement. The movement is in its infancy. Most people are unfamiliar with it. “Black Lives Matter,” moreover, is not nearly as innervating and enervating as the meme disseminated, year-in and year-out, by media, academia, by the pedagogy and the politicians; over the airwaves, on the teli, in classrooms, in the halls of power; in textbooks, film, music and in every other cultural outlet and product.

The real problem is angry people whose set of values allows them to murder. This country has a lot of angry people who mistrust others.
There are a lot of angry people with a lot of reasons not to trust untrustworthy people because untrustworthy people do bad things.
Untrustworthy people who do that things are therefore bad people, aka goons.
Is it wrong to fear goons with guns?
"Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?"
GOON control not GUN control. Wonderful bumper sticker
Untrustworthy people who do that bad things are therefore bad people, aka goons.
Agreed!
When you posted that, it just popped into my little man-brain that the 2nd and 3rd letters of "GUN" are UN, and the UN loves UN gun control for everyone but its approved thug (goon) totalitarian nations.
A good G-UN bumper sticker of some sort would be nice, as well.
looking at your tag too, the people progressives want to control are not the goons!
I completely agree!
IMHO Progressives, Islamonazis & Totalitarians want to control, indoctrinate and turn as many as possible into their easily manipulated goons.
