From my cold dead hands

Friday, July 20th, 2012 | Religion & Politics

Another month goes by, and, as usual, another senseless gun-related massacre occurs in the United States. Around 50 people in total were shot, 12 of them are already dead.

I was going to say “with another 12 people dead” but this would simply be nieve. Based on the statistical average, somewhere in the region of 33 people were gunned down across the United States today anyway. And yesterday. And there will be another 33 victims tomorrow.

Surely it is time to adopt a more progressive attitude towards guns? To be clear, by progressive attitude, I mean get rid of them all.

The sadistic irony of this video increases with every victim.

Life in the big city

Got home last night to my apartment, casually wandered into the kitchen and took a look outside the window – to find the street below absolutely swarming with police.

Not just a few but dozens of them, half of them carrying machine guns!

There was a line of police cars and vans and the whole top of the street was blocked off as officers moved round a suspicious looking black SUV. Eventually some guys were brought over and the police got them to slowly open up the boot of the vehicle before inspecting it and then escourting it away. Crazy times.
