Actually, well, I don't know what to say anymore. We need the Messiah more than ever, apparently more than he needs us, unfortunately. Peace and Tranquility, Gershon

Enjoyed your amusing limerick. What a mess out there.

You're right, Juliet. It's a mess. But we vigilantes'll round up all them varmints and dangle 'em at the end of a short string. None of this 'Wheels of Justice turn slowly' for us. ~ Authentic Hero. lol

The Gestapo, savage killers that they were, would snicker at today's tepid versions in America... Perhaps ISIS is a better disciple. ~ Shuddering

Great one Gershon! The future isn't bright with mobs assaulting, burning things , looting etc, to demand justice. Not peacefully protesting. That is revenge not justice and directly against innocent people.

Heidi, the nonsense just won't let up, will it? Happy weekend, Gershon

A stunning piece of satire my friend woven masterfully as I have come to expect from the Wolf!

I'm assuming this is satire. Yeah, it is. Let's emphasize top-notch training on how to defuse volatile situations. Let's teach people how to respond when they see blinking lights behind them in a way that does not provoke, annoy, or question the policeman's motives. At the same time, let's get rid of bad cops! They have no place in the system. Also, let's get rid of bad teachers! Incidentally, I am biased. My son is a retired policeman!

This was intended as a spoof... Glad to hear that your son survived his career as a policeman, one of the most under-appreciated jobs I can think of. Personally, I can't thank the cops enough. Happy weekend, Milt.
