Subject: Where's The Anger!
Don’t
get me wrong; I mourn for Trayvon Martin.
But I
don’t blame George Zimmerman for shooting him in self-defense.
I blame
the corrupt, violent, lifeless, drug and gangsta culture that is breeding
generations of Trayvons – kids who are uneducated, devoid of morals, without
vision, dreams and aspirations.
I blame
a political establishment that fosters all of this and lures kids and their
parents into dependency on the state.
I blame
the broader culture that tolerates violence against black people – as long as
that violence is perpetrated by black people.
You
think I’m exaggerating?
As the
nation is fixated on George Zimmerman’s trial for the death of Trayvon Martin
in Florida, over the weekend, 74 people were shot in Chicago – most of them
black victims attacked by black perps. At least 12 were killed. Many of the
injuries are serious.
Almost
no one is talking about 74 people being shot in one holiday weekend in a city
with the strictest anti-gun laws in the country. That’s more Americas that were
shot in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the same time period – a lot more.
Where
is the compassion for these victims?
Why
isn’t Barack Obama looking at the pictures of these victims in his hometown and
saying, “If I had a son …”?
Where
is the anger of those liberals and Democrats who run the Chicago political
machine and who are so outspoken about the Trayvon Martin case?
And
when will Americans take notice of the fact that “gun-free cities” like Chicago
are among the most dangerous places in the world?
Endlessly
the talking heads on television debate the Trayvon Martin case. Nobody pays any
attention to the 74 people – mostly black teens or smaller children – who were
shot in Chicago in one bloody weekend.
What
can one say about such hypocrisy and moral blindness?
We all
know about Trayvon, but how many know about 5-year-old Jaden Donald and
7-year-old Christian Lyles – both shot on Independence Day in Chicago in
separate incidents. Jaden Donald lost three organs as a result of getting
caught in the crossfire. They didn’t jump anyone. They weren’t prowling around
a gated community. They weren’t smoking pot. They were just in the wrong place
at the wrong time – Chicago on July 4.
A
72-year-old woman was also among the victims.
Twelve
dead, 62 injured.
And still
we obsess about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.
No one
is threatening to riot over the 72 shooting victims in Chicago. No one is
having debates on cable television. There is no wall-to-wall, gavel-to-gavel
coverage of the bloodbath in Chicago.
If,
indeed, the Trayvon Martin case is an epic tragedy, how much more is the fact
that we have a ho-hum attitude about 74 victims gunned down in one weekend in
Chicago?
Does it
really make a difference what color the attackers are?
Shouldn’t
it be alarming that there were no extenuating circumstances, like self-defense,
in these shootings and that many of the victims were innocent bystanders?
Isn’t
it incredible that death tolls like this are not the exception but the rule in
cities like Chicago?
What
about these dead black kids? Don’t they count?
Who
made these rules?
Have we
collectively lost our senses and any ability to discern right from wrong?
Take
note of who is running Chicago and how. Is this the way you want your community
run? Is this the way you want your nation governed? Are these the kind of
people you want to place and keep in power?
What’s
more racist – to tolerate death on a routine and mass scale or to look
objectively at the evidence in one isolated case in Florida without rushing to
judgment?

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one:
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident....
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search
P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding
on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from the midget
