Is it me, or are criminals are getting meaner than usual?

  • Mood: Are these folks from Earth?
  • Weather: Sunny & comfey
It is happening more and more.  A store gets robbed.  The clerk complies with the robbers’s demands.  Despite that and despite being masked, the criminal scum bag shoots or stabs the clerk anyway.  Then there is the violent home invasion, where the homeowners are robbed THEN killed. Not so much in Florida, it’s easier for the citizens to arm themselves here, but still goes on a lot in other states.

Perhaps it’s the economy.  Perhaps it’s a function of a generation of poor being raised in daycare, not making the connection with their parents & families. That defined the human social environment since we came down from the trees.  Over saturation of violence by media. I don’t know, and for that matter I don’t care. I am results orientated and innocent people are being injured and killed by sadistic sacks-O-shit.

While some people want to make guns illegal.  Chanting “Peace, love joy granola! We will sing kumbiya when we get those bad guns out of the hands of people.”  (Tell that to the 3 gal friends I lost to knife attacks).

Hey don’t get me wrong.  I would love to live in a world where there is no violence.  No one is ever murdered or raped.  Everyone has enough and the idea of committing robbery or violence is unheard of.

Reality check. That’s not the world we live in.  
Reality check.  Dis-arming the law abiding citizens will not put a scratch in violent crime.  In fact, it has been shown that when citizens are dis-armed violent crime rises.
Reality check.  Humans did not get to the top of the food chain by being sweet. Just look at our history.

To get the society the rabid anti gun folks want, we would need to sterilize all those who are violent.  Genetic or not, violence is heredity.  With 6 billion people on the planet, we as a species can afford to be selective.  If violence is no longer a desired trait, then get it out of the gene pool. Until then, I will keep going to the shooting range.  I may even get a dog, (which has to hate criminals and love cats).
