Congress woman named Carol McCarthy from New York stated on the Keith Olbermann on 1-11-11 - that up to 10,000 homicides occur every year but an attempted assassination of a Congress woman and the killing of others at the Tucson event was different and for some reason deserved more attention.
I guess all the other killings where collateral damage in a democracy but shoot a congress person at an event and every one is in an uproar - I have to wonder what is the difference - all killings should be an outrage but for some reason especially for elected officials its a different standard.
Can elected officials be replaced - it is the impression that they can not be replaced - assaulting an elected official for some reason has a higher standard of accountability for some odd reason I do not understand.
I imagine they breath and eat like the rest of us so why the split standard - again it seems one set of standards for them and one for the average citizen - I feel horrified and disgusted by it all and seeing the loss of life - but I also see the politico's gather around like henchmen or women beating the drums of taking action to and for
something or against something but they come beating the drums of peace but you and I know that in about 3 months another even will take the headlines and all this will be forgotten and behind us and the political headlines will move to another event.
unsolved murders will continue to be unsolved, those who meet an unfortunate death as Americans are so special as Americans that the families will continue to carry the burden of paying the funeral cost.
Prisons will continue to be infested with brutal and inhuman treatment of inmates, sentences will continue to be outrages and unjust - where is the mighty United States Congress and all other elected officials on those issue's.
The Courts will continue to operate with impunity and immunity and injustice will prevail - the police - whom some are good men and women of honor but there are those who engage in dishonesty and prejudice and corruption - that will not change and it will remain the same - but I assure the reader - the lip service will always be there that they care and are concerned about the core concerns of the constituents.
Families and family values and the children of families will continue to be used and abused and exploited with no remedy in site - where is Congress and the rest of those elected officials on those issue's.
Where is Congress with the 75% of children in foster care end up being sexually exploited.
When the mother of my children was given a contaminated medication from China that killed her - where was Congress on that issue - there where multiple deaths related to this contamination.
When my friend was ambushed and set up in a attempted murder plot by KBI agents of the Kansas Attorney General office - as he was shot at 60 times and was hit by 5 bullets from the back and was treated like an animal and then they destroyed the video tapes and covered it up in corruption - Where was Congress and the rest of them special elected officials on that issue - yes even the Federal
Bureau of Investigation was no where to be found but they showed up by the hundreds in Tucson, Arizona - checking every thing in site for evidence but I guess the rest of us do not exist - we are just the invisible constituents.
When a nephew of mine was killed - where was the FBI and where was the mighty United States Congress and the rest of them on that issue - they are not available - please leave a message that will never be answered.
Sure Sure - that was a horrible tragedy but what about the rest of America Mr. take the podium Mr. President and make a political speech - the bottom line is that those temporary words of bullshit mean nothing for the rest of us in invisible America.
I still feel horrified by the incident and feel sorry for all those caught up in the shooting but the political pundits remain the same - nothing has changed and history has proven time and time again that nothing will change until the next politico's of the next incident and the cycle will repeat.
Only time will tell but I am not encouraged by one word spoken except by the words of Pima County Sheriff who stated correctly that if and when elected officials use their podium to preach the gospel of hate - some one - it just takes one to create chaos in our midst.
that is my passing thought for the day :).
