Losing Touch With Reality
The current "demonstrations against racism and oppression" being held on the left and right coasts simply brings to light how quickly an otherwise intelligent well-educated individual can break the fragile bonds of reality and descend with purpose to the depths of absurdity.
I am speaking of the protests in Oakland Calif, and Powhatan, VA against "racial injustice".
On the left coast we have people gathering to celebrate as a hero, a man so vile and evil that he chose to rape a 12 year old girl. Thats right. I said "He CHOSE to rape a 12 year old child."
He also CHOSE to run from police. He CHOSE to shoot the first two during a traffic stop, and he CHOSE to shoot the other two while they were trying to apprehend him. At every turn, this despicable excuse for a man and a waste of oxygen had the opportunity to CHOOSE his actions.
No one forced him to rape that litlle girl. He made a conscience decision to commit an evil act.
I wonder how the good people of his neighborhood would feel if he had been apprehended without incident, gone to trial and been convicted for child rape? Would the police be an "occupying force" then?
Now to Powhatan. Depsite the senseless stupidity of the actions of the Parrish boys, I don't think the intent was to murder anyone. I believe the jury reviewed the evidence and came to the same conclusion. There was no intent to harm, no pre-meditation. It was country boys being stupid. Now they will pay for that moment of senseless stupidity with 11 years of their lives. They will never be the same.
Is that justice?
I think it is, but then again, I'm a realist and a cynic.
