The Injustice of It All

Well, here we are caressing our guns...blowing smoke from the barrel like in old cowboy movies...we don’t have holsters yet...give us time...this is Amurracuh!...we’ll have designer holsters soon and in exciting spring colors!

Another Shooting...this time in Florida...Somehow it hurt more than usual. It could have been you...or me! The 911 tape says it all...Local law enforcement didn’t want to release it, and who could blame them?...But now it’s in the annals of history. To add insult to injury, the Florida police gave the shooter his gun back! Every race and gender was offended!
 
Zimmerman (the shooter this time) a law enforcement wannabe...used his gun...doesn’t everyone have one?...and blew young, black Trayvon Martin away...Bang! Bang! He’s gone!

Is this a civilized country? Not so much. The NRA is powerful here...and money rules!...They put out their “defense” message immediately: Don’t mess with our guns !

Many years ago I worked with a man who operated a police scanner. Mike listened to calls coming into the local station...It gave him a high...he was thrilled by the sirens and flashing lights...he lived for the excitement of police work just like Zimmerman.

There will be a million “hoodie” march in New York this weekend. People are angry! There will probably be marches across the country to relieve the tension of blacks and whites.
