Dallas shooting

Post by AmareIsGod »

Things just keep spiraling out of control. 2016 has been a horrible year for humanity. I'm legitimately concerned more than I ever have been in my life about the future of mankind.

The future of mankind has always been in doubt. I assume we will eventually destroy ourselves.

I really wonder what it was like in the mid to late 60s in the US. Can you imagine if everyone had an instantly available live-streaming device available to them back then?

This is true. With the instant access of information at our fingertips and phones recording everything as it happens. Imagine during segregation and daily police brutality? Or having this technology and instant access during the founding of our country? I can't imagine what would be shared and readily known.

Unfortunately that has never been the case in this country.

This election cycle only ramps up the rhetoric. Everybody assigning blame.

The Black cop killer only proves that all Blacks are bad people.
The White cops killing Blacks only proves that all White cops are bad people.
Muslim terrorists only prove that all Muslims are bad people.
Hillary lying about her emails only proves that all Liberals are bad people.
Bush lying about WMD proves that all Republicans are bad people.
The Oklahoma Bomber only proves that all white Christian ex military people are bad people.
Illegal alien drug dealers prove that all Hispanics are bad people.

People are bad.

Strangely, Donald Trump had a very good statement he released today about this. Clearly someone in his team got to him.

And I'm sure he had nothing to do with authoring it either. Glad he can read though.

"3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you," tweeted Walsh, a former tea party congressman from Illinois and now a conservative talk radio host."

Then was on CNN last night. What a joke that news channel has become. Then Megyn Kelly said some ridiculous shit about why Castille's girlfriend didn't do more to try and save him while a homicidal asshole had a gun on her yelling not to move. I hate these media assholes so much.

The problem is that the people in the media are saying things that millions and millions of people in this country already believe.

It seems like the movie Network predicted the future of journalism. The news entities realized that there was more money in being opinionated and loud than there was in being factual, detailed, and accurate.
