Good Day World!
Growing up in the 1950’s, I never heard of multiple gangs organizing to “hunt and kill” cops. Not to say there were no gangs back in those days. There were. Most notably, The Mafia.
But none of them went out of their way to target cops across the country. Perhaps they had more sense than today’s gangs.
While Baltimore burns, and looters overrun businesses in protest of the killing of an unarmed black man – Freddie Gray – the notorious Black Guerilla Family, Bloods, and Crips formed a partnership to "take out" law enforcement officers.
Welcome to a world gone crazy.
Shootings at schools have become all too commonplace in the 21st century. Stories of children murdered in classrooms and cafeterias across the country have become too common.
In some cases brave teachers stop armed students before they can kill someone. But school doesn’t seem like a safe place anymore.
Mass killers step into movie theaters with semi-automatic weapons, slaughtering audiences; a teenager and his brother plant bombs, causing death and mayhem, during the Boston Marathon; and U.S. counterterrorism officials are increasingly concerned that the Islamic State is growing in popularity in America.
Just three examples of how crazy the world is now.
Other things I never thought I’d see, climb out of social media, and the TV:
Teen murders 9 year-old during sleep over.
ISIS Wannabes: Inside the Minds of Jihadis Born in the USA.
It seems like the world is getting more violent, and crazy every year. As an observer for over six-decades, I have to say things aren’t getting better. We seem further away from world peace than ever.
America is sliding back into an era of racial unrest, and our politicians are so polarized they can’t agree if the sky is blue or green. No matter what advancements we’ve made in technology, our society is still coming apart at the seams.
Time for me to walk on down the road…
