Exhausting All Possibilities For Eliminating Gun Violence in America

IN THE UNDECLARED WAR between African-Americans and police, the descendants of slaves came from a two zip deficit this week, to win, five two. One black man killed by a cop in Minnesota, and another in Louisiana. The lesson we learn is that we must not have a broken tail light, while driving while black. In Dallas, the aim was to kill white people, preferably cops, according to one of the apprehended suspects, and they got five of them. A little honesty never harmed anybody, and contributes much to the establishment of motive in court. Those annoying smart phones. You can't even commit a hate crime anymore, without some do gooder video recording and posting it to Facebook. It keeps us entertained, as nothing but violence can do in the United States of Aggression. The motive for cops killing African-american men seems to be fear. There was once a lady who was investigating alleged police brutality against blacks in Los Angeles, and she was approached by a white cop, secretly, who wanted to know: "what can I do to stop being afraid of black men"? Perhaps she told him to "suck up, and act like a man." White people are afraid of black people, studies reveal, and the American judicial system locks up as many black men as the law will allow. As John Grisham said in his novel "Rogue Lawyer", "have we lost our minds"? White dude gets a warning, black dude gets a ticket. White dude gets probation, black dude gets time. Over, and over, and over,all over the United States of Amnesia. To quote the late great Casey Stengel: "you could look it up." Meanwhile, Congress does not allow the government to study gun related violence, because if it did, we might find out something that would annoy our National Rifle Association political campaign benefactors. So let's just pretend that racism, like climate change, is a liberal hoax, since, after all, slavery was criminalized, what, hundreds of years ago? Then, divide the American people into two categories: good people, and bad people. Arm all the good people, problem solved. In 2015 thirty six thousand five hundred Americans died by gunfire, most of the shooters having emerged miraculously from among the ranks of the good people. In gun free England, nobody died by gun violence last year, or maybe one or two, and during the entire year English cops fired their weapons a grand total of six times. As Winston Churchill said: "the Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing, after exhausting all other possibilities."
