The USA has travelled a long way since a group of degenerate British traitors decided to wrestle control of the colonies from the British (English) Parliament in Westminster. Now, if I had been alive in 1776 I probably would have taken Stalin’s approach of abolishing the death penalty just as soon as ALL political enemies had been (terminally) dealt with. To be fair, and I am jesting, Stalin did abolish the death penalty in 1948 – only for Khrushchev to bring it back in 1959. But I digress. British know full well not to resort to thuggery to get their way. Structured and gentlemanly negotiation is the preferred method. It is not perfect – but it is as near perfect as we are going to get. As this is the case, my fellow British – who saw fit to rebel – felt so guilty about their behaviour that they felt the need to invent all kind of Revolutionary nonsense to justify their despicable actions. The death penalty was abolished – as it symbolised the backward nature of the Europe (?) they left behind – and yet they illogically decreed that everyone (and their dog) could own fire-arms! It makes no sense. Still, as we pay our way in the UK (either through labour or money) – I suppose that once conception of stealing somebody else’s land becomes “normalised” as a practice – well – anything is permissible after the “honestly earning” rule is broken. Fireing-squads are at least honourable – whilst hanging is reserved for a common criminal. Major Nidal Hasan (Dishonourably Discouraged) has been paralysed below the chest since the police shot him in 2009 (I am not sure if it was “civilian” or “military”). Again, he had just killed 14 fellow soldiers and wounded 32 others – in a clinic for serving military personnel suffering from Psychiatric Disorders. Ironically, when discharged from military service – the US government no longer cares about their well-being – as all Veteran Association hospitals and clinics have been shut-down – because they “cost too much” run. As far as I am aware – Mr Hasan believes his death will be a “martyrdom”. In a recent US academic report – the US military has killed between 20-30 million people around the globe since 1945 to present. All the victims of US aggression around the world are left wondering when President Trump will hold the killers of their families and friends to account? Short answer – never. Long annswer – do not hold your breath.
