Blame the Guns

Don't blame the rave scene for the Seattle's worst mass murder in more than two decades.

Blame the guns -- and a culture that celebrates firepower.
Good grief.

There are two places Jamieson can go. England where they have already followed his infallible advice and then took the inevitable next steps when that didn't work. They have already done the work for him. Of course, he would be at even more risk there. But if he wants what England has, he should move there.

The other option, well you know. He can go straight to Hell.

I'm a bit confused here. The gun rights crowd values a culture of freedom. The rave scene values a culture of firepower. But we are not supposed to blame the rave scene?

Believe the proper descriptive term for Jamison is "useful idiot".
Not to worry though. Once the powers that be seize power. The powers that be typically relieve themselves of the "useful idiot's".

Following this, the 'powers' then relieve themselves of those that helped support/enforce the use of perversity in gaining control. For you see, they are the next perceived threat to the 'power'. Absolute 'power' must control absolutely. Any threat to that power must be negated.

History is rife with examples. What is truly amazing. Is that the typical reign of tyranical 'power' is usually negated. And, in a great many instances, negated by very violent means.

Some people never learn.
