    Chuck Dukowski, former bass player for Black Flag once made a sarcastic comment that was noted by Henry Rollins in one of his books.  The comment went something like, "We should just give guns to everyone and see who winds up standing."  It's almost as though some people didn't get the irony, took old Chuck at face value, and have gone berserk. 

    The other thing (quite obviously) that all of this illustrates is how completely off the scale madness has run amuck in America.  Compare the America of today to what it was like 50 years ago and then project the trajectory of where we are going ahead another 50 years.   I know this will sound selfish but, thank god I will be dead by then.  But my extended family kids may not be and that is fucked.

    What the F!! 13 hours after the El Paso shooting! Wonder if the El Paso incident gave this guy the ‘courage’ to do this?

    Sweden is looking better and better, isn't it?

    After watching coverage of both the shootings I would like to offer a hearty, heartfelt, and personal FUCK YOU! to everyone who votes for Republicans.  
    I don't give a shit if it hurts your little snowflake feelings, you own a share of this and your pathetic excuses smell like the asshole they came out of.

    I'm just fucking sick of this, it's ridiculous and pathetic and if you aren't ashamed to be an American right now, you have your head up your own ass.

    Guns are mostly a republican issue, true. But make sure you actually take a look at who you are voting for because some Dems take a decent amount of $ too. 

    And again - immigration disaster is a both party issue.  Donald trump and the republicans certainly own upping the game and causing the conflict. In the past people just talked and complained and did nothing in an effort to drum up votes.

    Not the shooter. Not from that Walmart. Just a couple of random TX Walmart shoppers carrying their guns in and around the store. 
    What are supposed to think when we see shit like this?


    AMERICA! WE’RE FUCKED!

    Plenty of democrats with questions to answer. Blood money always has a tendency to stain ones hands.

    Surely I am not alone in thinking that those who feel the need to carry military grade weapons around while doing the weekly shop must themselves have some sort of mental illness?

    is a failed effort to properly diagnose and treat such illnesses resulting in what we are seeing today?

    As usual, you are a ray of sunshine, a sparkle of hope, and a breath of fresh air bringing a new message of peace and hope to all.
