WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON HERE?
There was a hunter killed a while back in Michigan, the suspects were seen fleeing the scene in a 1987 nissan truck. Vang, the Wisconsin suspect, has a 1987 nissan truck. So...does this Vang drive around during hunting season and kill hunters for fun or is it a dead end? Who knows...well, somebody does, but they aren't saying anything...yet.
Blue Witch comments " this is beyond my comprehension"...yeah, BW, mine too. But it says something about american culture on a number of levels. First you have the gun culture thing, we are split, some of us are gun advocates, and some of us are anti-gun. There are millions of guns in this country, owned by law abiding citizens for hunting and/or home protection, and criminals for robbing and killing. When you get right down to it, guns are not the problem. It's the people who have them. And how they came to have those guns. We have legitimately purchased the firearm in our house...filled out the paper work and all that shit, just like millions of other americans. But guns change hands in alot of different ways here and it's nigh impossible to control it.
Then there's the melting pot phenomena of america...which in my estimation, breaks down like this:
50% of americans are not racist...25% pretend they aren't, but hold some umbrage against other ethnic groups...two faced in other words.And 20% make no secret of being racist, this 20 % is made up of whites who hate other races,blacks who hate other races...and so on, down the line of every color group you can think of. And then there's the 5% that could give a shit what color you are or what god you pray to, they just don't care...they are like Rodney King, who said "why can't we all just get along"? after a bunch of white cops kicked his ass...not really, he was a drug addled n***er that deserved a beating who said that martin luther shit to further his cause...WHOA!!! Where did that come from??? Which leads me to the biggest problem americans face.
The media. That's right...the fucking media...for much of america, media calls the shots. I listen to a particular AM talk radio station that repetes the same shit over and over again 24/7, and in between takes calls from the populace listening to it, and guess what? The callers that agree with the station are expanded upon, while dissenters are quickly cut off...wow, imagine that.
If you fall in line it's all good, if you don't, bye-bye and "thanks" for your call.
The media plays shape shifter and we suffer the consequences...now back to this Vang thing.
Yeah...take me there.
