Heartbroken

mr. hope & change is saddened again, as just a few weeks ago the nation mourned the deaths of those blown away in a movie theater, now a skinhead takes out 6 in a Wisconsin Sikh temple & yet the refrain is the same--- not only will he not address the real issues at hand, he sends his little babbling bird, mr. carney, out to do the dirty work, telling us that it’s the gangs that kids are joining, which lead to these violent outbursts, and when they start to piss out their mouths, these talking heads whose strings are pulled by the gun lobby in the US, they start to dabble in the most inhuman nonsense, for we all know the statistics, we all know that in the UK, the homicide rate due to firearms is ridiculously low in comparison to this land of mother****ing cowboys, who sleep with a goddamned six-shooter beneath their mattresses & yet because this empire is based on violence, the violence it spreads all over the globe, the violence that it beats down on its citizens with, is it any wonder that once in a blue moon, somebody ends up killing a bunch of people with a gun they got on the internet while simultaneously playing a video game? so “how many deaths will it take till’ we know?” maybe if somebody goes on a rampage every couple of weeks? hmmm….ya think then that charlie heston & the boys will stop jacking off & rethink their policies? maybe if there is a rampage every week, mr. hope & change will get off his ass & actually do something, regardless of how far off november is? don’t hold your ****ing breath.
