Just Let Them Kill You

“Do you believe in Jesus?”
“Yes I do.”
“Well, you’re about to meet him.”
Bang.
Death Wish 2 – after Paul Kersey finds one of the men who raped his daughter

We don’t want these things to take place. We collectively conclude that “evil” is condemned and should be punished. But, as I’ve stated before, under different circumstances we condone similar actions. Aside from that right now, we should be concerned with the criminal activity that we read about constantly in our newspapers.
Gang members have zero remorse when they shoot you, your wife, and your child…all they want, as the ones being interviewed for shows like GangLand will testify towards, is quick cash and the “rush” of putting a gun to your head.
Pretty soon the people are going to have to make a choice. Especially over here in the Golden State. These borders’ produce more criminals, as does our prison system, and while they’re out murdering innocent teenagers, raping you’re daughters, and robbing you’re grandmothers – all the while laughing in your face, literally! – You, the masses, choose to condemn all measures that would prevent these things from happening.
What then, oh Enlightened Red Wolf, can we do? It’s rather simple actually. The steps are right there. Marches on city streets are always a good idea. Exercising your right to bear arms is another. Even in public, a legal handgun is merely a ticket for a person with a clean record. Far worth it for staying alive, I say. But most importantly we can demand radical changed to our border security and our prison system.
The former might be a bit more difficult seeing as it is more on Federal boundaries. But for anyone who wants to stop seeing illegal immigrants come over here and join gangs – then proceed on with any one of the former actions listed above – I say to write to you’re fucking congress. Let them know about it! The latter example I must believe could be resolved a bit easier. All that would be required is that magically little word…transparency. The most important element we can have in our government…whether you’re on the so called “right” or the so called “left.” We need to know what our officials are doing, we need to be informed on the decisions they are making, and we need complete oversight with every single institution that is in our Nation. Church, schools, prison, and our legislative bodies – including every single person paid under our tax dollars – need to be examined to make sure they are worth the money and the effort.
There is something else that might be of some help. And goddamnit, I hate to condone this sort of thing, but with my experience in human behavior I gotta tell you, I really gotta tell you what the real remedy is. Vigilantes. You heard it from me first folks. A few good men willing to take up arms and patrol the streets, exercising this ancient philosophy only on those who we can be sure are street scum, is the only way to install fear into those who have installed it into our homes. Far be it for me to tell someone that it isn’t his (or her) natural right to defend his hometown. And to be exact, “hometown” doesn’t constitute spray painting a stop sign or any old bullshit like that. It is that I live here…I pay taxes here…I have my family…my neighbor’s family….together we have agreed not to be harassed.
“Preaching to the choir” you say. Perhaps. But don’t say I didn’t tell you. These street gangs are even below the most audacious of examples. I would like to name them…but a semi-smart person would instantly come up with some of the most evil in History’s Rouge Galleries (including some from our country) and I tell you there is no comparison. These people have them beat, hands down, with fucked up actions. I promise you.

Although I’m saddened that I missed out on Baldwin Park’s National Night Out event, I’m extremely pleased to see at least a few people getting out and displaying their discontent for crime. But the sad reality should surprise nobody was that it was only about a hundred people who marched. Relatively few compared to the amounts of people who actually live in rough areas – or who even read the newspapers.
What spurs a person into a worthy cause? What event can take place that would change someone’s attitude and even speak their opinion? Or do they even have an opinion?
We’re like little sheep. Aside from the fact that Americans are the primary reason that absolute Democracy is a bad idea, it can earnestly be said that we want to be good…I have to believe even a small shred of that sentiment. Wake up. Take action. Anything and everything will help to progress to a better world. Because, I don’t know if you’ve looked around recently…we’re just barely civilized.

Standing Side by Side with California’s Nazi: A Letter to the Governator

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Stand with you? Stand with you!? That proposition doesn’t sound very enticing to me, Mr. Schwarzenegger. And I have some very good reasons for me feeling that way. But before I get into all that, I want you to know that the only reason I’m writing this letter is because you are the one who has endorsed activity from the citizens of California…constantly telling us to “contact our senators, our representatives; call them, write letters” and so on. So I, as a First Amendment sort of guy, have decided to do just that…exercise my right to participate in our democracy. And so here I go…
For starters: I don’t believe that any state budget is going to rectify our problems here in the Golden State. The Elites can sit in their offices and do all these things with the budget, and no matter what they come up with I will not be satisfied. I refuse. And, as I’m sure you can tell from my voraciousness, I have good reason: there is no justification to be given, as to why the guards’ Union – the C.C.P.O.A. – should be paid anywhere close to $100,000 a year. The number is astronomical and is an insult to the millions of other people who work hard in this state. On top of that salary, they get health benefits, vacation, etc. They sit at their tables, kick they’re feet up, and occasionally when there’s a scuffle they get up and mace everybody.
That simple assessment – which was made by a true, first hand observer: ME! – is exacerbated by the repercussions in failing to make the necessary adjustments. “Criminals produce more criminals.” So easy to understand, even you should be able to get it. Being a Republican, I would certainly expect you to fall right in line when the other Neo-Cons and sanction Nazi-related crimes. Like the crime of producing more criminals. It’s more subtle over here in America…we criminalize drugs then lock them up with harder criminals where they become…gasp…better criminals! What a shocker. Hitler had his Nuremburg rallies, where he induced the masses into believing all his bullshit, creating monsters, and now you are doing the same thing when you pay the Union to assemble their monsters. All under a different banner. This one being “rehabilitation.”
But you know all about Hitler, don’t you? You were friends with one of his comrades…Mr. Kurt Waldeim, I believe. He could lie about it all he wants, but the medals, the signatures attached to all those deportation slips, witness accounts, his initiation to the National Socialist German Student League, not to mention that the U.N. said he was a war criminal…these revelations say differently. And it’s unfortunate that the (numerous) articles written about your connection with him have gone mostly unnoticed. But that’s no surprise, seeing as our media is a well-oiled propaganda machine. The people, subsequently, fall into tight grasp of ignorance and apathy. The only thing they do pay attention to is the stuff that affects their immediate life…like health care, or the economy, or the crime statistics, etc.
Fortunately, you have managed to screw up a great number of these things. You have just recently exercised you’re tyrannical right to veto some of the budget measures – including MEDI-CAL and state parks – while advocating the building a new section on death row. On top of that, the tentative release of 58,000 inmates is going to have to face an appeal from you. So instead of my first suggestion of cutting the salaries of the guards Union and implementing more rehabilitative programs into the prison, you’d rather just “cut, cut, cut”, but always making sure to have enough money to lock up more inmates and fill the pockets of the bastards who create the problems.
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I know that the Union is powerful. But aren’t you the Governator? You’re supposed to strong-arm these things.
Anyways, you can not put a band-aid on a gun shot wound. And that is what you are doing here. “Releasing them into different custody”, or whatever the language is, is practically the same thing here. You need to push for the judges’ original order of 58’000. You should be able to find just about that many first-time, non-violent offenders with only a year or so to go. Pretty close.

I sympathize with you though Arnold. I really do. And I can agree that in a State as complicated as California there are going to be problems. But if you are so serious about solving our problems you would do something with the prison problem, and put a few more dollars where it is needed.
And if you were really that adamant about shutting off our borders (as a voice recording some years back had proved) you’d put more energy into that as well. Instead, these problems go unnoticed…and, as always, you – along with all the other people not paying attention – have perpetuated our problems. Mexicans immigrants, devastated by NAFTA and you’re willingness to promote drug cartels, which lead to horrendous conditions, have made them come over here for a better life. Can’t blame ‘em. But there goes the health-care costs…there goes the incarceration rate…and there goes the whole fucking state.

Convictedly,

A Trickling Revolution OR How I learned to accept that Illegal Immigrants will never stop pouring over our Walls

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Be upset about it all you want. Hate it. Despise it, even. But in the end you’ll never be as upset as all those poor Native Indians who were slaughtered during the coming of the Europeans. You couldn’t have shared their despair if you lived a 100 years inside of a prison wall – ostracized from all that you know and love in this World. It’s simply something you’re not capable of doing…and neither am I for that matter.
But when you do attempt such compassionate empathy, you might begin to acquire a certain amount of sympathy as will; for all the Hispanics who go through a virtual hell and virtual high water to come over to this country – taken from them many years ago – simply to pick strawberries in one-hundred degree weather…only to go home to a cold case of Budweiser.
Now, you would think that drinking the Budweiser would be torture enough, but then, my god; they crossed hundreds of miles and risked getting caught by border-vigilantes and “good-ole-boy” border patrol guards, just to work in such misery and dread. I can’t bring myself to hate them for that. At all. I have to realize the conditions that brought them here in the first place: namely, United States hegemony. Starting with the imperialism that founded this country and continuing through trade agreements like NAFTA, the standard of Mexican life in the homeland is not prospering these days.
These are the reasons why Hispanics are coming over here. And, again, I can’t bring myself to be upset about it. If the shoe was on the other foot (the Red, White, and Blue foot) and the Mexican War was won by the Mexicans, we would have been equally upset about it. Because that’s the leading force in the World: not morals or ethics, but strong-arm and force. “Might makes Right” or so it’s been said.
So at the very least, we can be happy that the Mexican people don’t have the firepower to take it back from us. Instead, they’ve been trying a smaller revolution. A “drop, drop, drop” of reintegration back into the Land that was once theirs’. And, like I already stated, this personally doesn’t offend me. But on a political perspective, I couldn’t exactly say it’s the right thing to do either. After all, when they do work, it’s usually “under the table” – meaning they don’t pay any taxes. On top of that, the money that is paid to them is almost always split into one-third…with a third going to rent, a third going to Budweiser, and the last third going back to Mexico to pay the bills…and, perhaps: pay the smugglers (called Coyotes) who are bringing his children next week.
No, I can’t be entirely upset with them for these efforts to survive. What I can be upset about is their offspring. Because while the majority of illegal immigrants do strive to live an honest life, it’s the younger majority that feel the irresistible need to join gangs and destroy innocent lives. These are the ones we should be exported back across the border. Not the ones trying to work and live.
Ah, but then what is the solution for thee woes? What discussion shall we have? For starters: the firepower that is held by Mexicans is usually, if not always, in the hands of the drug cartels, who lobby for stricter laws on drugs so that their profit margin goes up. Eliminate the drug laws and you eliminate their power. For all the immigrants who do want an honest life, we could speed up the citizenship process and bring more jobs (and more tax-revenue) for the States’.
There is always another option, but we choose not to discern them. Ask yourself why? Right before you ask yourself: if you were kicked out of you’re country, and were forced to live in an impoverished one, wouldn’t you break a few laws to make things better for yourself?
