Wednesday Feb. 23 I attended another protest on the steps of
the Courthouse here in Vero Beach, this one concerning our lax gun laws. The
crowd was large with many carrying signs. This time there were no counter
protesters which is surprising. Just the day before I was reading a letter in
the local newspaper from some idiot who claimed the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas
High School massacre would have had far fewer deaths if teachers had been
armed. Really??? I can visualize MORE deaths because more students and teachers would have been caught in
the crossfire. Just how many people who own guns are crack shots!
But let's assume they
are all trained marksmen; remember there's an element of surprise here, not to
mention pressure. From what I read a policeman was there when all of this was
going down and was frozen in place outside. And with a number of armed
civilians a SWAT team would be confused as to which was the crackpot! This is the
kind of stupid idea only an NRA toady could think up.
When I learned of this latest Florida shooting on Valentine's
Day it was on the evening news and frankly I wasn't
surprised. It's becoming too common place for that. Naturally Trump was eager
to blame the FBI despite the fact he's made it easier for mentally disturbed
individuals to purchase assault weapons as well as cut the funding for mental health. If
anything, I'm surprised it doesn't occur more often.
The NRA owns the Republican Party. It's bought and paid for
them! So I don't expect anything to change soon. However, that doesn't mean it should
be accepted or even tolerated. Become a
bayonet in their side, fight!!! Protest like hell again and again until
something does change!!! You don't defeat bullies by turning the other cheek.
It's not just students and teachers who are in danger! The Orlando Pulse
Nightclub, Las Vegas Concert, and Aurora Theater massacres are proof of that!
No one is safe under our current gun laws. Next time it could be a nursing home
filled with senior citizens, a sports arena, an airport, or even a supermarket!
I could have been shot on the courthouse steps along with dozens of others.
Vero Beach is a Trumpanzee town and the school shooter was a Trump supporter.
This, is only one of a long list of issues I have with Trump
and his administration. I wish there was equally as much uproar about the other
policies harming people and our environment. This entire administration along
with their evangelical supporters consists of nothing but crack pots; vile and
corrupt ones backing a con man in the oval office. All of them need to be
removed, starting at the top!!!
As to our gun laws, Trump himself does not help his case
with his boasts of shooting someone in broad daylight and not losing any voters.
Remember during his campaign he urged someone use their Second Amendment right
to take out Hillary Clinton. -- I wish
the same for him! It would only be poetic justice.
FYI I am a registered Republican and consider myself
conservative. But I know a turd when I smell one.
Nothing good is going to come out of this presidency. This
insane administration is all about greed! It's consumed by it! A toxic stench
is permeating our land and it's emanating from that blob of human excrement
inside the White House.
Trump, you are incompetent, plus a disgrace and an
embarrassment! Since you love guns so much why don't you do this country and
the entire world a favor and shoot yourself!
I don't care if you leave office in handcuffs or a box,
either way I will celebrate! There will be dancing in the streets!
