Treason chic

When I look at the face of John Philip Walker (Lindh), the 20-year-old American captured in Afghanistan, I see newspaper photos of the innocents killed by his comrades on September 11. By defending mass murderers, he shares in their guilt, and should share in their fate.

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said if you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell

But Johnny didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was
Ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didn't want to learn things
(Had other interests)
He liked to burn things

The lady down the block
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His parents gave up they couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the care
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didn't mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't want to do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

It's not his fault that he can't believe
It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away
He'll go away

(Repeat chorus)

Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me
You get away with murder
And you think it's funny
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Hey there Johnny boy
I hope you fry!

Earlier this week---Monday, a police officer pulled over a car with no plates and was shot by the driver in the stomach when he approached the vehicle. The police officer survived because after 911 all officers on duty are required to wear bullet proof vests. Today I drove exactly by a highway arrest---a car fitting the description---grey four door sedan...when I was passing this incident less than ten feet away---front and back police cars---two on the side in the middle of the road with their doors wide open...the suspect was getting out of the car with his hands up---young Filipino male---20 year old...nicest good looking kid you could ever imagine---nice red jogging shirt and slacks---deserves the death penalty for what he tried to do---if proven guilty. The criminal mind and terrorist thrive and prey on the public stupidity!
