a whole lot of hand wrangling is going on because a 12 year old
and a 14 year old children found some guns and shot at the police…
what could possible possess children to shoot at the police with an AK-47?
says the police who shot over 112 children to death over the last 4 years…
if there is one lesson children have learned it is this… life has little value
in modern day America…so why the surprise when children apply that
lesson back to society?
we, who are so “civilized” have banned the torture of children and we who are
so “civilized” that we have passed laws preventing children from being child labor…
and yet, and yet, we happily have children, 1 in 6, living in poverty…
we have 12 million children living in poverty… what take responsibility
for those children, the 12 million living in poverty… Nah, that isn’t our job…
and we hold to a economic and political system, capitalism that has no problem
allowing millions to live in extreme poverty and starvation… why I am sure
that is proving that we hold lives to be of value… if they are starving…
the company that I work for, so hates its workers, that should I die at my check stand,
I would be written up for dereliction of duty and my body dumped outside the store…
you think I joke, but I am not joking…and my name simply dropped off the schedule
and never another word is heard about me or my existence…there wouldn’t even be
a mentioned about my death on the company board…as has previously when an
employee has died, they never existed as far as the company is concerned and
they are never mentioned again…
why would children shot at the police? because they have learned the lesson
of society, that they don’t matter or count, and you may as well shoot at the police…
if you don’t count or matter, what difference does it make if you shoot at the police?
the modern day Nihilism that permeates all of our society, is the lesson learned
by the children…it is easy, in fact it is hard to miss that we devalue, dehumanize
our citizens… society shows its hatred of the people within that society in so many
ways as to be hard to count…does you vote count? clearly given the fact that
America is a corporatocracy…our individuals selves don’t matter in any, way, shape or form…
so why not shoot at the police? in fact, I can’t think of any reason why not to, outside
of the fact,
“But that the dread of something after death,
the undiscovered country from whose bourn
no traveller returns, puzzles the will
and makes us rather bear those ills we have
then fly to others that we know not of”
but what child thinks of death? none that I know of…
and when a child shoots at a policeman, and we all wonder…
wonder not… for the question isn’t why do children shoot at
policemen, the question is, why don’t more children shoot at policemen?
