Strange and Isolated World of the Loony Liberal Elite
Unsurprisingly every left wing commentator in the UK has patronizingly dissected US gun laws, US moral fibre, and everything else anti US they can think of in the wake of the recent tragedy in Virginia. What they conveniently overlook is that the UK forbids purchase of guns for most people but that doesn’t stop the odd drive-by shooting or massacre. A few weeks ago someone was convicted of shooting dead a woman holding a baby in her arms. Schoolgirls have been gunned down in the street. Burglars with guns abound and have no compunction in killing anyone getting in the way.
Reported 2 days ago, two young girls killed an old age pensioner. They didn’t bother with guns – they just kicked him to death and then washed the blood off their shoes at a nearby beach. Just a fragment of life in the UK today.
Someone please tell the loonies monopolizing the commentary pages of most of our newspapers that we live in the proverbial glass house – stop throwing stones.
In their haste to condemn the US their tunnel vision only allows them to view the end of their own nose. Not a fleeting mention – too much thought required perhaps – of the obvious.
Let’s see shall we? What have all these deranged mass killers got in common? Just to shortlist a few. Kip kinkel, Oregon 1998?, Jeff Weisse, Red Lake Minnesota 2005?, Eric Harris, Colombine 1999?, Oh yes, and now we can add the Virginia Tech killer – all taking prescription drugs for depression. Churned out by the shedload, courtesy of the pharmaceuticals. We can’t blame the big pharmo’s though. They’re big business. Big business is in the business of making big bucks; not to cure people, of depression, autism, or anything else. We inject toxic cocktails into infants barely a few days old for pity’s sake. What the deuce are we so amazed about?
I’m not amazed but I’ll tell you what saddens me. The media around the world can spare endless airtime and centrefold space raking out every bit of grime they can possibly find about a tragic, sad lonely boy, only after he has taken away the lives of 32 of his student peers.
No one, not even his parents apparently, could spare a few hours to fathom what was going on in the strange and hostile, isolated world of Cho Seung-Hui in the years leading up to his dreadful finale. Welcome to the human race.
