Watch Your Back

So, they murdered Charlie Kirk.  They assassinated a guy who debates with dumb college students on college campuses.  Could you think of anyone less threatening than a debate team nerd?  Well, I guess when the previous victims are Catholic grade school kids then there is some room there.  But it does give you pause to imagine exactly what kind of people the “average” progressive zealot must be.  We are dealing with social outcasts so bereft of connection to normal society that prison or suicide seem like career opportunities.

So where does this go from here?  And that is the question.  The FBI, as usual, say they’re working diligently to find the narrative that led to this “heinous act.”  But why do I think all we’ll ever here will be “lone wolf” and the old reliable; schizophrenia?  What is needed is to find the circle of psychopaths that egg each other on until the craziest one takes the bait.  And when will we find out that the shooter worked for Black Rock and his father was a CIA contactor?  And of course, we’ll hear how all of this is just some crazy coincidence.  Oh, my aching head.

I thought our guys are in the FBI and CIA now.  Why isn’t there a report about the psycho kid who shot at Trump in Pennsylvania?  What’s taking so long?  It seems like just the same old story; “We’re following every lead!”  Well, bottom line; they’ve unleashed their crazies on all of us.  Between the trans crew and the rest of the Antifa crowd I expect to hear about a new murder every week for the foreseeable future.

Now Charlie Kirk’s mode of operation; large crowds of college kids on campus is obviously especially dangerous when a sniper can get you from a couple of hundred yards away.  But it would behoove any conservative that will be running or involved in public forums or debates to take very seriously the risk that now exists.  A piece of very thick, transparent, bullet proof plastic would have been a very valuable precaution for Charlie Kirk’s operation.  Of course, no defensive plan is perfect and a determined assassin can thwart any and all precautions.  But based on what we saw on Wednesday, conservatives are now targets for insane leftist sociopaths.  They really should consult with security experts before exposing themselves to the tender mercies of people who don’t have any.

I followed Charlie Kirk’s career haphazardly.  I saw several examples of his debate style and I could see how it would have a profound effect on young people unused to a non-leftist opinion being expressed out loud on a college campus.  I think he was having a good measure of success debunking leftist doctrine on campus.  It seems Gen Z (especially the boys) are quite receptive to right leaning ideas.  So, the maniac who killed Charlie picked a valuable target.  Let’s hope a Utahan jury finds him guilty and the death penalty is assigned and carried out as quickly as humanly possible.

But none of this helps his widowed wife and orphaned children.  Their misery should be blamed on the Gavin Newsom’s of the world who said attacking the right must be violent.  I think he should be on trial too.

Truthfully, I went through a phase when I did drugs but that ended well over 40 years ago. I was lucky, not smart, no incredible willpower, just lucky. I apparently didn’t possess whatever gene creates the predilection to addiction and dependency. I could try something and say, “That was kinda cool” and walk away. A lot of people do have that gene and they are the unfortunates that battle dependency their entire lives. Some people, bless them, do possess that gene but also have a strength of character to refuse to succumb to alcohol, or drugs of lord knows what type.

A big problem being there have been some frightening drugs created over the last decades, drugs so horrendously addicting and/or destructive. I’m not certain that that it is possible to 100% solve the problem but, with these, an effort has to be made.

Having know a few of the addictive unfortunates, I have some sympathy and wouldn’t accept any solution that required that addicted users end in a jail cell.

I never dabbled with the supply side but obviously knew people who did and also know there is, and will always be, a percentage of the population that can no more resist the prospect of easy and big money than the users can resist the product.

I have no ideal what the solution could be other than to contain it to whatever extent possible. A lot of lives ruined and this includes especially alcohol. I do know that simply criminalizing every aspect, even strongly, reduces the problem but does not eliminate. Ever heard of Prohibition? That worked well, humm?

You’d think that the flood of fentanyl would act to suppress drug use because if you have to worry that the next dose of your whatever contains a fatal dose of something unexpected.

As far as blowing people away who are part of this plague of Musk level rich narco-terrorism? I’m perfectly okay with that.

They Blowed Up Real Good!

So everyone in the world has by now seen the US military blowing up a speed boat carrying drugs from Venezuela to the US.

And some of you probably heard that some members of Congress, including some republicans have called this strike, murder.  Okay, I’m really glad that they have gone on the record as being against killing people importing cocaine, heroin and fentanyl into our country to kill our kids.  I think that’s a great way to get these people out of government.  At the very least, the Republicans have given their primary opponents a nice easy commercial to use against them.

I guess if you’re a hopeless libertarian you can justify legalizing hard drugs like fentanyl.  But even the boneheads in government in places like Washington and Oregon have had a change of heart about their decriminalizing opiates.  Their streets are filled with dying addicts murdering each other to get enough money for another fix.  And the spillover from the crime and disease that it has spawned has bankrupted cities like Portland and Seattle and driven all legitimate businesses out of their downtowns.

I would welcome Donald Trump blowing up narcotraficantes wherever and however he can do it.  Boats, planes, trucks, burros, human mules, you name it.  In fact I’d applaud it being featured on a television show called, “They Blowed Up Real Good!”  There could be footage from drones, attack aircraft of various types and even boats and land vehicles.  Just whenever they find a plane, truck or boat loaded with drug substance on its way to American citizens.

And sure, I know these addicts are culpable for their choices but I’ve known people who got started when they were basically kids and once hooked they never had a chance of escaping.  So for the sake of saving a generation of  American kids, I think we should “blow them up real good.”

And for good measure, we should put huge price tags on the heads of the drug kingpins and have their loyald minions sell them out and drag them off to some prison and then finish them off with a shot of fentanyl just like what they sell to kids.

And I realize many people disagree.  They think the war on drugs is a waste of time.  And of course I think they’re allowed their opinions.  But I think they’re wrong.  And making it a real war might be the way to win it.  I’ve always heard that Singapore doesn’t have a drug problem because they use the death penalty for drug traffickers.  Well, I’m sure it’s not as simple as all that and I know that the United States is many orders of magnitude larger than Singapore in both geographical size and population.  But it’s my opinion that destroying the opioid drug industry is a worthwhile goal that would eliminate untold misery and criminality from our country.  And I commend President Trump on his first video of the new season.  Hopefully he can finish off the season with a video of Maduro being hauled off to a Supermax prison in anticipation of his star turn in the death chamber.
