Jim Wright is a retired US military intelligence officer and freelance writer. He lived longer in Alaska than anywhere else and misses it terribly. He recently moved to the fetid Panhandle of Florida and lives now in an ancient Cold War bunker of a house surrounded by alligators and rednecks. He mostly writes about politics, but he's also a published writer of science fiction short stories. He is the mind behind Stonekettle Station. You can email him at jim@stonekettle.com. You can follow him on Twitter @stonekettle, or you can join the boisterous bunch he hosts on Facebook at Facebook/Stonekettle. Remember to bring brownies and mind the white cat, he bites. Hard!
...and here is his most-recent post on Facebook:
If you're mad about what happened to a presidential candidate last night, you're going to be furious when I tell you about school children. Or Americans in a movie theater. Or a church. On the highway. At a picnic. At a concert. In a nightclub. In a post office. In a store. In the park. In their homes...
And frankly, I'm not interested in hearing about the "politization" of gun violence from self-serving hypocritical politicians who wear AR-15 pins on their lapels in the halls of Congress and who not only refuse to take action but maliciously block any attempt to do so by other, more sane leaders.
If you're mad about the politization of the violence that happened last night, maybe you need less violent politics and politicians willing to actually DO something about it.
