Why?

A story has broken out of two Kansas City Police officers who have spent over a year in jail because of a shooting that took place in a park they were patrolling. The story goes that they were patrolling the park when a gun man opened fire on them. He charged at them while continuing to fire on the officers, and the officers returned fire, killing the man. The main evidence in their favor is footage taken from the squad car. It shows that this man was coming after them, and they were firing back in self-defense.


That! Is the reason we give police the right to carry guns! They were protecting their own lives from a man who was trying to harm them. These police did not act maliciously or try to inflict harm as their first, minute provocation. Their firing on this man was in self defense.

Why did this go this far into the trial procedures? I loved that they saw jail time like any other citizen would have. But, a year later they are just getting cleared? They had footage of a man firing on them while running towards them. Unless there were other elements to the story (like not trying to get a hold of emergency medical assistance, or shooting at him when he was down and no longer a visible threat) this seems exceccive.   By what I have found, these officers used lethal force when it was a serious incident where their own lives were at serious risk.

I found all of this asinine! Especially when one is to consider the numbers of times police have shot someone in the back and killed them.  Or when they killed an unarmed individual because they were scared. Or when a minor is killed when nonlethal force could have/should have been used. Or the instances where a loved one calls for assistance because someone they cherish is suicidal; but the police do not try to help this person save their life, but shoot them instead. With all of these cases where justice was not served, and innocent members of our society were killed by those sworn to protect us, tax dollars and court time have been wasted on a case that should have never gone on this long. These officers have had the one commodity that can never be returned to them, taken from them. (Time)

I wrote this article from my true feelings. For all those who try to use a broad brush and paint me as a “cop hater”, I am not. All I ask for is justice and accountability of those who take the oath to serve and protect the community and citizens where they serve. They should never be rewarded for instilling fear onto those in their jurisdiction or killing them without serious cause.

If an officer kills out of anything but self defense they should see the consequences of their actions. And when we have good cops, who got into bad positions, let’s not make them wish that they did not defend themselves. Let us not keep good cops off the streets because of politics, or a lack of "brotherly love" within the police fraternity. Real “Blind Liberty” Justice needs to return. It was what our country was founded upon, and we need to return to it, one step at a time, with each and every day making us closer and closer to that goal.

The Top Has the Real Vote.

A country could be in grave danger and in turmoil. But as long as those with the power are unaffected by this turmoil.  They will tell everyone that everything is just fine and there is no need for change.  They don't want to see that.


The president is only the human being on top of the political system. He is only the face of a huge government. The fuel is money. Money is brought in through funding by big business. Those who provide the funds/fuel are those who run these large businesses. So, for good or bad, big business runs America and the average tax payer gets the smallest voice of all in a system built upon representation by citizenship.

A Dead Body for Another Dead Body is Not Right... It's Just Right.

The man who killed four police officers in a Washington coffee house is dead. When he was found, he ran, and was shot in the back until he died. The gun was empty and the police officer had had his revenge. He was just as dead as those officers, and he was killed in a very similar fashion. The blood thirsty will say it was justice. But how is killing without trial justice?


The days of criminal hearings are going out the window when these kinds of acts are allowed. He wasn’t stopped. He was gunned down. He was killed just like his victims, and the officer will be praised, not reprimanded.

This is further proof that we let those with badges get away with anything. They do some good acts of selfless heroism, and all the bad things just go away and are unnoticed. It just shows once again how a Christian society is a flawed society. No matter what one does, as long as they pray, they are all-right in the eyes of the Lord, and will see no punishment. Just the same in our society, the only difference is these guys have guns and badges instead of a book and a pulpit.

Kill a man with orders; you’re a hero. (We won’t mention Nazis here….) But if one kills because they feel like they have a need, they are the worst criminals on Earth. I do agree with the last statement, but those in the first category are viler to me than any killer in passion. These people kill because they can, and get away with it. All they need to do is put up a face that they don’t like to do it. (If they don’t, why do they keep the jobs they say they hate so much?)

Killing is wrong on all counts. The taking of a human life should be met harshly when taken by a person who is sworn to “preserve life at all costs”. This should be the most true when they have sworn their lives to serve and protect. This man showed that he did not wish to harm anyone but police. He had more than enough opportunity to harm others, but he made it a point not to harm them.

From this situation, the police across the nation took it as the opportunity to say, “Hold on! Once we feel safe (by killing this man), we will go back to doing the job you pay us for. But not before.   We just like getting paid, and wanna feel safe doing it.  Fuck you all unamred civillians till then!"

Scared Cops = a High Body Count of Innocent Lives.

What happened in Washington was awful. But those people did not die without being shown a huge amount of sorrow and sympathy towards their families. As Mark A Clements put it best, “All cops are good cops when they die”. I am sure if Harvey Keitel’s character in Bad Lieutenant were real, even he would have been memorialized.

The news did not make a huge issue of it, but the female cop, Linda Griswold, had actually had a pretty good body count herself during her time on the planet. She had killed several people, and was able to justify her actions through being a police officer. Did that make her death right? Probably not. But maybe if the God that everyone keeps telling about me is real and actually exists, there might just be justice in the world after all. Karma was served.

I feel that human life is sacred and our society has devaluated it more and more with each passing year. Linda showed this herself through her actions. It has been said time and again she was very aggressive and would use violence and force any time she was able to justify it. Others will ask, “What about the other three?” I will say that it is still tragic. But in a case where someone is shot incorrectly by the police; if they are close to an assailant that is posing a threat to the police their death is deemed justified and the officers are not punished. This is even true in the case of children. (I may get flack for this one. But if you do not believe me, fine. Look up some cases yourself. You will see firsthand what I mean; some were rather high profile investigations.) Maybe these other officers were just in the way, and in the wrong place, for a rogue servant of God.

Was God simply doing justice that could not be served in a court room? Maybe… When the plagues came down upon Egypt, not everyone who lived there was guilty of the Pharaoh’s sins. But they suffered more cruelly than the royalty did just for living in that country during his misdeeds.

This should also turn our attention to the fact that now police are more scared than ever. The Kansas City Star reported that one office said, “He was scrutinizing every one he saw walk in and out of the convenience store he went into grab a Mountain Dew that morning”. The Seattle Times reported that a police chief said, “Now police see why it is so dangerous to work in the community.” As if any one (or all) of us have a hatred for police so volatile that we will just walk up to one and kill it.

Have we forgotten what a police officer gets for their work? A rookie cop gets $50,000 a year, some of the best health care in America, bonuses, major training, gets armed to the teeth, and has armor provided for them. Even when people say, “They rush in when everyone else is running out,” one must realize that they are not going in like some average person. They go in as protected as any one can be. In situations where “They are rushing in while everyone else is running out” they almost never die. Even when one is shot it is only a superficial flesh wound.

It really looks as though we as artists and political activists will be the ones who should be scared now. We have already seen what these Fascists do, when they are not openly scared, to those who speak their minds or wish to not look like the rest of the sheep in the flock. I know I had a state trooper put a gun to my head when he stopped me for “A plastic cover over my license plate” when I knew full well it was the political sticker I had on my car that stated that I felt George Bush was “An American Errorist”. All that happened in Washington was give police an excuse to be even more violent than ever before. I will promise you that we will see an increased body count at the hands of the police. But the saddest part of all is that these innocent Americans will not have millions looking for justice in their deaths.

Jesus is Southern Comfort.

Jesus is alot like Southern Comfort. At first consumption it feels great and peaceful; every one is your friend. One drinks more and then becomes angry. Eventually, with enough consumption, one becomes so enraged with another's dissagreement that some one evetually gets badly injured or kill.

Cannabis Sativa: Over Criminalization

I wish to start off by saying that I feel the use of marijuana is not only a huge waste of time and money, but also aids to keep people from every reaching their personal goals in life by making them lazy and fat from over eating and sloth due to the effects of the chemicals in its consumption. But, the laws that are in affect to guard against its use are far too harsh. Even if one is to say the laws are in place to help save people from the above ill effects, the ill effects brought on by the current criminalization of an individual who wishes to use this plant to get high are much greater than any harm the use of the plant would do to them. Studies have shown that the use of pot does decrease the ability for people to learn and has shown an increase in depression within long term use. But studies have never shown of people becoming violent or severely dangerous because of marijuana use.


Did you know if one is pulled over, for any reason, and even a very small amount of marijuana is found, that that person has their car impounded? They take away their vehicle just for any form of ownership of a naturally growing flower. They say it is to keep people from trafficking the drugs, but it is very rare that the person found with marijuana has enough to be considered “intent to sell”. Even if we want to keep the laws as is to limit drug trafficking, can we at least keep the impoundment limited to cases where there is enough of the drug to be considered “intent to sell or distribute”? We have seen this very thing abused of late.

Police are under investigation in Liberty, MO for allegedly planting drugs into high end SUVs so that they could buy them later at police auctions for a fraction of their book value. Let us hope this is not the case, but I have heard on numerous occasions of people going through Liberty and being stopped for reasons that they saw had no foundation and being ticketed on suspicious grounds when it was their word against a police officer’s and they could not fight the penalty handed to them. If the police are truly innocent let it come to light. But if they are guilty, I hope they see severe punishment for such a sick and twisted crime; one where people are put into cages and lose their vehicle and freedom due to one who is working within the law’s greed and covetousness of another’s property. Accountability needs to exist in all forms if law and order is to exist.

Fear and Death

Faces lit up with desire. It was the night of nights and everyone was there. Only one more hour. One more to know. One more to see. One more to be. But wait.


It had already happened then! Then had been and came to stay. The feeling was one that never went away. It sat inside their souls and ate away like a cannibal at the fire side of their destruction.

First to go were those with forward thoughts and desires. Those that saw what was there and were open about it and to it.

Next were those who did not believe in the cannibal teachings of long ago. They were taken the farthest away. Their cages and chains made just for them. (They were feared the most.)

Then those who say no reason to kill just because they were told to do so. They had no passion for the act and could not be convinced. They were forced and put onto the front of battle.

Then the scared and frail ruled the earth because they took everyone else away. Till disease took them away as well, to leave the earth to the animals that they so long denied.

Drunk Death to Tax Dollars

Taxes were increased and budgets moved so that a new campaign for the stoppage of drunk drivers could start. But, the Kansas City Star has just announced that fatal vehicle accidents, due to alcohol, have increased! This increase in taxes has done nothing to keep Mid-West driver's safer. We saw this first hand when a Fort Osage teenager was killed by an underage drunk driver in Independence just a few weeks ago.


It seems like all of the campaign money was spent on the advertisement of the program; and none of it spent on what it was named for. The slogan writers must have made a killing writing phrases like: “You drink, you drive, you lose” (Not too far off considering the loss of lives that have not been prevented.) “Over the limit, Under arrest”, (I only wish they followed through on that one.)

Plus, we cannot forget all the money spent on prime time television commercials! They looked good, all professionally done and slick! Shoot, just think of all the air time that had to be paid for. One could not watch television without seeing that commercial.

I see it much like 90’s cartoons that spoke out against deforestation. They saw a huge beautiful tree cut down and put onto a belt to be shaved down, then after all the shaving was done, an elevator button dropped out of the product door. When told that elevator button sales were a great market (I will not take the time to bludgeon my reader about the analogy to scare tactics and money here.) our heroes would ask what happened to the rest of the tree. At that, the shot moved to a fire and we see all the rest of the tree being dropped into it to burn for no other reason than to get rid of what was left… This seems to be what they did with our tax dollars to remove drunk drivers.

From now on, please use the money for something other than scare tactics. It didn’t work; it won’t work that way, and hundreds have paid for the mistake with their lives.

Veteran's Day.

It may be contraversial.... But... When has that stopped me in the past? 



The Nazis are veterans who were just following orders to kill all those innocent people, too. The civillian body count in Iraq alone is 94,008 – 102,574. Have we avenged ourselves on the innocent enough, yet?? (The 9-11 attackers took the lives of 2,819 Americans officially.)


This is not an attempted to rip on the soldiers risking their lives each and every day in the name of the United States.  This statement goes out to show the mantality/mentality of the US people; and attempt to open the eyes of those individuals to the numbers of lives taken in this horrible, unjust, and uninvited war.  Nearly 4,500 of our troops have lost thier lives as well. 


(These numbers only reflect the totals at the time of this blog posting.)

Fort Hood, The President, and Death of Needless Proportions.

Tragedy is on everyone’s mind. What is to be said of those events that took place? Much. Too much. But at the same time, not nearly enough. Those who died on November 5th will be remembered not just today, but for history. These events were not like events that had taken place in the past; but many of the details have been lied about and only given has half truths to the American people. To not speak out about these tragedies, that align themselves with this memorial service, would be as Un-American as not taking the time to remember these fallen men and women.

President Obama stated many beautiful and eloquent statements during his speech at Fort Hood. Some of them, I feel, spoke to any American who listened; others would have been caught up into the emotion of the situation, and others would have listened and been astonished, taken back, and ashamed. He stated that those who gave thier lives will be remembered, and that they will be seen as heroes. All of that was very true. These were great people. Two of them were highly educated and very intelligent. One could barely speak English when he came to the United States but learned and went on to get a PhD. in psychology. A very challenging field when language can be a barrier. Another was educated in medicine and was so dedicated that he returned to serve only three weeks after a heart attack, all at the age of 62.

But, the ceremony was very religiously baised. Prayers from very Christian perspectives were given, and readings from the book of Christian basis were read several times. The President even made mention of god several times in his speech and said,” "No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor". Sadly, this is very false. Even quoting the same book they used one will read the heinous acts of violence there in, such as:

God then told them to do the same to King Og of Bashan. The Israelites therefore "slaughtered them and left no survivor.” The book of Psalms cites these massacres as proof that the Lord's "love endures forever." In resettling the Israelites after the Egyptian sojourn, God instructed them to steal the land of seven nations. And he told them to "not to leave any creature alive. You shall annihilate them. . . ." As a result, the Israelites utterly wiped out various peoples. An example is when Joshua's army attacked Jericho and "put everyone to the sword, men and women, young and old. . . ." Later, the Lord told Joshua to do the same to the people of Ai. In obedience to the Lord's commands, Joshua's army did likewise too many other cities. The Israelites "put every living soul to the sword until they had destroyed every one; they did not leave alive any one that drew breath." If the accounts given in the Bible are accepted, there were millions of men, women, and children exterminated in this conquest of the Promised Land. Even forced sex is consecrated when, “So he ordered the soldiers to "kill every male dependent, and kill every woman who has had intercourse with a man, but spare for yourselves every woman among them who has not had intercourse." Shortly thereafter, God gave Moses instructions for distributing the captive virgins among the fighting men and the community.

Our president also stated that the shooter was kept alive so he could stand trial. This was to show how the American justice system is right and just. This is sadly very untrue. This man will stand trial if he survives to that time; but to anyone who takes the time to discern what was really going on, they will know that he was kept alive to be questioned; and to see if he was working alone, or with a group as a matter of national security and military intelligence. What they will not tell you is that he will probably be tortured to get the information out of him if he does not speak openly of what his motives were. I am far to say what he did was right. But to make a charade of the justice system further undermines the legal system that the United Sates uses, and furthermore, the bold faced lies of the Commander and Chief further undermine the public’s view of him. I know I would actually feel safer if he did tell us why this man was kept alive, and that every last bit of information would be gotten out of him for the sake of national security and safety. Sugar coating actions this serious has a feeling of making the American people feel less capable of grasping and comprehending the severity of the situation. It is just as bad/sad as when the Bush administration made us feel in danger at all times with “terror alerts” and grossly exaggerated claims of a country wishing to do harm to the United States with “weapons of mass destruction”. Additionally, that we should lean on the government because we could never survive without their complete control and our allowance of their decisions at all costs.

This also seems divergent of what really stemmed this war. It has been proven time and again that Iraq was not a part of the 9-11 attacks. They did not have the backing of Al-Qaeda, nor were they backing Al-Qaeda. Yes, they did meet a few times, but it was seen that they had “ideological differences” that kept them from teaming up together no matter what their “common enemy” was. It was just like the Black Panthers and the KKK wishing to get together because they believed unilaterally in racial purity; but they disagree so greatly on what race “is pure” and what religion is “right” that they could never work together.

Also, many soldiers enlisted to retaliate against those who were a part of the crashing of planes into the Twin Towers. Even one of those lost in the Fort Hood shootings is now famously remembered as saying that when she was told that she could not take on Bin Laden by herself she retorted, “Watch me!” I would hope that we can see that these soldiers wished to help their country. They did not wish to find themselves killing innocent women, children, and the elderly in a country that did not attack the United States. They now see that America’s involvement in Iraq as more “imperialistic expansion” than any bit of “protecting Americans from terrorists”. They know firsthand terrorists were not in great numbers in Iraq until it was seen by these extremists as a place where they could engage Americans in battle. Let us not lose focus of what is truly important to the American people. Let our sights not be taken from the real issues of life and death of our fellow Americans, (civilian and military) in matters of true importance, that affect the American people, not just today, but for generations to come.
