Saturday, October 26 The Few, the Small and the Scummy
I have to say, that every time I heard some intellectual serial killer expert pontificate endlessly about the sniper being a white man probably well educated bla, bla,..I kept thinking nope..way the opposite..also was thinking this guy has watched too many Hannibal movies. From day one I thought the gun-jerk (as I prefer to call him why glorify him, or shall I say them any further) was probably a Ben Laden sympathizer, most likely a Moslem male, skin-color unknown, country of origin unknown, mission; to have us all running around like scared rabbits while a few of us are dying. Mission accomplished. Two jerks that caused two states to stay in-doors. I still find it amazing, that it was what…15 men..who took over those airplanes on “911” and changed the way this entire country thinks and feels. 15 men that cut a hole in the heart of the greatest city in the world. Part of me would have preferred that it took a lot more people to do so much damage. Maybe that’s my ego talking. Maybe that's my fear. And yeah, I get that they had the money and backing and training of thousands of nasty folks behind them..(or is it millions) but still the knowledge that it was just 15 men drives me crazy. 15 men? If I saw 15 men sitting in a restaurant I’d say, ‘Man that place is going out of business. No one goes there.” Now it’s two men, (well one man and one almost man) who had the whole country glued to their television and two states worried about pumping gas, going shopping or letting their kids out to play. I got a call last week from my brother in California. My dad is driving from New Jersey to California because, hmm, well because he can I guess. Anyway my brother got terrified that the sniper was gonna shoot my dad while he was on the road. Out of the millions of folks on the highway, my brother was staying up at night worrying that my dad was next. That kinda says it. Two gun-jerks in a car in Maryland, causing a schoolteacher in L A to stay up at night. I don’t know why the gun-jerks did it. Maybe to be terrorists. Maybe to play god. What alarms me now is all the glory they received. Two home-less losers on the front page of every paper, the top story of every news program. They must have felt like super stars. How many killers-to-be who go un-noticed, who are unremarkable and un-special, and are reminded every day how much they don’t matter are watching the news right now and thinking that to be known regardless of the reason, would be better than being invisible. How few with the next bunch of jerks be, who will hurt so many?
