Here we go again. The fatal shooting by eight Akron, Ohio police officers of Jayland Walker is all the news network rage this week. Too bad that many among the news-managing cult won't bother to report that he was reportedly wearing a ski mask (hmm -- just how cold is Akron this time of the year?), fired a gun at police officers in pursuit of his vehicle and allegedly took a crouching position as if intending to shoot a cop. At some point right after Walker departed his vehicle, he turned toward pursuing police officers -- who had unsuccessfully used a taser -- and they shot him dead, not realizing that he was no longer carrying a weapon. How would they know? One must assume, especially in darkness, once a gun, always a gun. Apparently, at least 60 bullets penetrated Walker's body. It may indeed be that these officers had reached a point where they were in fear for their lives and lives of bystanders near or far, and without further options had every reason to air-condition Walker's body.
So, another week and another black person dead because he refused lawful orders from police and solely made his fatal decision. May I suggest, as I have on previous occasions, R.I.P. and burn, burn, burn, Jayland? Though I'm just another evil white guy, I am not allowed to shoot at cops, nor may I run from them, and Walker was not enrolled in some special do-your-own-thing category. Who left behind grieving relatives? YOU did, Sir. So, as we await the next cookie-cutter incident in which families will undoubtedly sue successfully for millions of dollars they shouldn't get one penny of, I'll ponder whether 60 direct hits were necessary. Maybe the ski mask alone was worth the overkill, how would I know?. By the way, police couldn't know Walker was black if he was wearing a mask.
My advice to the city of Akron, which I visited many years ago: Don't be charitable and don't back down. If all is as reported, it must be case-closed with absolutely no money to relatives coached by attorneys in how to cry and blame cops who work their asses off for people loathe to respect their value and sacrifices as soon as the smell of money "damages" drifts through a community. I've become increasingly troubled over instances of "show me the money," somehow healing the family and attorneys of dead criminals once lawsuits turn into dollar signs. Akron, say only "sorry for your loss" and be done with this seemingly obvious event orchestrated by one man and one man only.
The Fascist State of New York: License plates of "the Empire State" really should read, "The Vampire State" because its government sucks the life out of guaranteed American freedoms. At this point, it's too much to hope that the stupid portion of the NY voter class (mostly in NY City and surrounding areas) will bother trying to understand how selecting leftist candidates is poison for everybody in the state. We anticipate that Governor Hochul's outrageous gun legislation, approved by the leftist sheep in New York's senate and assembly, will suffer in the courts -- all of it, we hope.
A word about the Biden administration: Sucks last week, sucks this week. We hope he enjoys his brief begging vacation in Saudi Arabia, as he pleads for oil we could produce and refine ourselves, but for his orders --- as he calls fr shutting down more oil exploration on the East Coast. You won't find a more environmentally conservative person than I, but I must admit I wouldn't be adverse to private industry converting radical members of The Green Cult into fossil fuel. Were I President, I think I would issue an Executive Order requiring every Green Cult home in America to keep bottles of cow flatulence n the basement to keep the planet safe for centuries to come.
Bad TV for the Masses: CW Network, WTF? You've turned out some nice shows over the years, but I gave up on "Riverdale" after the first two seasons when it turned a weird corner and increasingly made no sense. I thought "Smallville" was outstanding -- but then you had to muck up the whole Superman concept with "Superman and Lois," inhibited clearly by the dumbest scripts ever produced for TV. I suppose the actors are okay, but the story line crap they endure could easily give them kryptonite ulcers. As a kid, I read Superman comic books (all gone, drat the luck) and remember well the "bizarro" concept and such but, really -- when TV shows start using Doppelganger-like plots where the main characters become duplicates of themselves, no matter the story circumstances, I only get the impression that the producers are attempting to save money on hiring more actors, and I am gone, gone, gone.
However, the icing on this absurd superhero cake was applied during the final show of the season, when a main character speaking before a crowd actually said, excluding the phrase, "the American way," (as other performances relating to Superman have begun doing in recent years), ". . .truth, justice and. . .a better tomorrow." Arghhhhh! A better tomorrow? Who were the writers attempting to protect from making America look good? China? Green global lunatics? Incredible. Three little words, and they just couldn't bring themselves to having them spoken. Screw you, producers.
Republicans: Again, a warning. You folks have opened a can of worms by concentrating on abortions, and you do it every time. I know that many of you are driven by your personal faith and I respect that -- but not everybody shares your religion. Women, no matter what you think, are not the property of the Republican Party. So push instead for birth control and leave the women to their own decisions. This war otherwise is destined to continue with no winners.
