Are politicians really that ignorant? Are guns the problem?
When the south side of Chicago has a record 500 homicides this year. Young black males killing other young black males mostly. what does that tell me.
It tells me there is record money going south to drug cartels.
Gangs on the street or in prison exist for reasons. Mostly for shipping and distributing illegal drugs.
The drug pusher on the corner or in the local park at night cannot call the police and tell them another drug pusher is moving in on his area. Not in any formal way.
There is no judge or jury to decide disputes between illegal drug traffickers.
…………………..
And Politicians get killed or injured mostly by paranoid schizophrenic white males. Mostly loners. Are their bodyguards trained to spot crazies? Any educated greeters out shaking hands at the door. Anyone looking for constricted or dilated eyeballs and strange responses?
………………….
So most politicians are a bit nervous about guns and crazies - perfectly natural response. And they do not want to admit illegal drugs are taking over the cities.
Once upon a time a neighbor of mine was an ex-San Bernardino Policeman. He gave them 15 years. Naturally I ask why he did not stay for retirement. His answer was basic. He said the first five years there is the police, the criminal, and the citizen. He continued the next five years it is us and them. Then the next five years you have seen enough police come up dirty you no longer completely trust other policemen.
He might as well have been a politician? Or maybe I just no longer trust anyone except my mother and she left this world from old age over 20 years ago.
I cannot trust politicians because they talk ignorant when they blame guns for crime. Or when they train their security poorly.
Jack Hanna was on Piers Morgan with his animals the other night (forced me to stop flipping channels). At no time did Piers demand the animals eye teeth be pulled?
