Becoming Unglued

Sometimes, things seem to be coming unglued.

Some months ago, somebody killed three police officers responding to a disturbance. Last weekend, somebody else walked into a wi-fi coffee shop and shot four more police officers to death.

These are unrelated as such. No conspiracy; one happened in Pittsburgh, the other in Tacoma. But does there have to be?

What in blue blazes is going on out there?

And does this not constitute domestic terrorism just as much as 9-11 does, and did? Why does something have to take a foreigner for it to be known as domestic terrorism?

If you were a police officer right now, wouldn't you be getting a little more nervous? And find it a little more difficult to handle what constituted normal situations normally?

Every time something like this happens--they're trying to track this guy down now--how many more people will go and buy guns in the fallacy that they will protect them?

The nuts drive us nuts. But they also make us nuts. That's bad enough. But there are plenty of guns to go for everybody.

Merry Christmas, everybody. Merry Christmas. Maybe if we say it enough, things will calm down. Maybe.
