If this is true, then I think it's safe to say that these shootings aren't being taken seriously by our government on purpose. I don't know what the purpose is, but it sure feels like it.

Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.

The best thing about Rage songs is that they're still relevant after 30 years.

The GOP benefits from these attacks in my view, especially when they're in power. It makes it impossible for the news to cover the reprehensible things they do when mass murders happen every week.

If you’re terrified of being shot you won’t mind having armed police everywhere.

But that's why I'm terrified of being shot

The only way to assuage your fear of being shot is to arm more people.

To arm more police people, that is. Not ordinary people. Most people in the world have some degree of mental instability, and humans are too quick-tempered and unable to control their impulses. I do not want such people armed with guns at all.

I think you've got this reversed

Ok, so I'm not crazy.
