Thread Name: BS: So much=overwhelmed + no outrage?
Subject: RE: BS: So much=overwhelmed + no outrage?
This topic is not really about a laci of outrage. It is about unreasoned fearful rage.

Two years ago I regretted the coming violence and suicides that job loss and a starved economy was going to produce. It is now here as we watch in horror desperate lost men killing friends, family, strangers and police in suicides turned inside out.

People can run amok even in the best of times but today I feels as though an epodemic of going out in a sick vengeful blaze of glory.

The constant drone of fear and lies from right wing radio and TV have only added a bit of fuel to the inferno. Gun sales are up 47% and people are buying lots of ammunition that some consider to be a lifetime supply at a time. The reporting that OBama is going to sieze all your guns, has echoed coast to coast and is motivating some of the violence prone newly poor to turn their guns on others and themselves. One note left behind by a gunman said that the coming confiscation of his guns was part of his reason to kill police. It takes very little to incite social psychopaths to violence.

Glen Beck is calling Obama Hitler on cable TV. I recorded one of his shows in which he ran 4 minutes of Hitler speeches while talking exclusively about Obama.
Congress woman Michelle Bachman is claiming that re-education camps are now in place to teach our children to worship the tyrant Obama and the new Socialist State. Hannity praises their efforts as the only beacons of truth. Most die hard FOX fans are starting to believe it too.

While John Stewart says that these media whackos have confused tyranny with losing an election. I believe that the inciting people to gun violence is simply heinous and not a mere misunderstanding.

People who believe they have nothing to lose after they think they have lost everything NEED a clear alternative to suicide by cop.
It is not clear to me if the evangelical movement is helping or hurting these lost souls.
These lost souls are heavily armed, spurred on by a nationwide ammo shortage, Rush LImbaugh, Glen Beck, Rick Savage and believe that they stand on guard awaiting the order to start shooting.

The gun craze and ammo shortage since Inauguration day may not be as dire as it seems but I do not see the trend dieing. I see it advancing with 20 police and deputies killed in the last 2 weeks, 5 children killed by their father, 12 killed in my hometown at a Civic Center.

Church shootings, office shootings, home shootings, school shootings, police shootings all eventually end with the
prying a gun from the cold dead hands of a person upholding their 2nd ammendment rights.


The comedian Chris Rock cut close to the bone when he said "We don't need to ban guns, all we need to do is charege $10,000 for a bullet!"

Church, media and communites currently seem too self absorbed with thier own losses to tend to the emerging poor and desperate American gunmen. I am afraid they are spurring it on.
