If I thought Congress was ignorant about internet
technology, you must be idiots regarding guns.
The Thousand Oaks gunman actually took the time, in between
killing 12 people, to post on his Instagram during last week’s massacre. Was he
asking for forgiveness or acknowledging he was crazy? No. He was mocking you
Congress. Not only did he have no reason to do it, he called you out
specifically:
“…the only thing you people do after these shootings is
'hopes and prayers'...or 'keep you in my thoughts'. Every time...and wonder why
these keep happening... --(two smiley face emojis)."
It’s chilling how social media has given murderers the
platform they need to get the attention they want. Anyone in Big Tech who’s
made money off of social media is culpable: your creations are causing addiction,
teen suicide, live video morbidity, and it’s only getting worse. Hollywood needs to
cut out the gun violence crap, and you know why reality TV celebrities suck?
Because they’ve inspired this desperate “get rich quick” for your “15-minutes
of fame” behavior. Nobody needs more than $10 million in your bank account; if
you do you’re just plain greedy. There’s a NetLingo word for that: anus envy.
The fact that this person used two smiley face emojis is
psychopathic. Yes, dude you are suicidal and insane, and I’m not giving in to
your quest by even mentioning your name. Why do these guys always seem to have
three names anyway? Momma’s don’t let your babies grow up with guns and three names.
Listen people, you don’t need to give up your guns. It’s our
right to keep and bear arms. We’ve given the Second Amendment 227 years; it’s outdated
and clearly not working anymore. Keep your shotguns and revolvers but turn in
these military-assault weapons and ban them once and for all. If you think you
need your stockpile of weapons in case the government comes after you for some
paranoid reason, then you’re going to cause the next Civil War.
So, don’t tell me the “authorities” have not yet determined
a motive. The killer told you himself “life is boring” and he basically knew he
could get away with it. Military style weapons have no place in this world
except for in the military. Do something about it. More people have been killed at American schools this year than have been killed while deployed in the U.S. military. Shame on you.
Congress it has been a horrible week for Southern
California. I went to Pepperdine and I’ve been to the Borderline Bar many
times. We need your “thoughts and prayers” for the fires, but nobody wants your
“thoughts and prayers” over gun violence. The NRA doesn’t send out their “thoughts
and prayers” after a mass shooting, so why do members of Congress, especially
when you are the only ones who can do something about it?
I’m a lover not a fighter, and when my sympathetic nervous
system is activated to fight or flight, I’ll fly. Between the Parkland
students, the Jewish synagogue and this former Marine, you Mr. President and
every member of Congress has blood on your hands. You have to start fighting America’s
crazy gun violence and pass measures to ban high-magazine capacity weapons. Meanwhile
I’m on the next flight to Fiji.
