St. Patrick's Day Massacre


Elizabeth gets dragged away across Tejon Street. Between the two of them, they either aren't strong enough to help her walk across, or aren't man enough to be sure she isn't harmed. She falls. They don't help her up. They drag her until her pants are pulled down and her bare skin, ravaged by diabetes and in extreme danger of infection, is scraped off for about 36 square inches. The children watching are traumatized. Vietnam combat Veteran Jim, is horrified. Some live wrasslin' watchin', beer swilling redneck scum in the audience, cheered. One guy yelled "kill the hippies". I would guess a member of New Life Baptist or Focus on the Family, but, not understanding insanity like this, I couldn't say.

I don't know who would treat a 65 year old women like this and I don't know who would cheer for them doing it. I don't know what kind of police force would hire and train people to do this and what kind of city would allow this to happen. I don't know what god these people think supports this behavior, but I always find they stand behind some deity when behaving like this.

I don't know what kind of culture takes a perfect innocent baby boy, free of sin and without flaws, and ignores, and abuses, and bullies, and teaches him that for the sake of his society's security, he needs to learn to be a heartless, violent, canine mentality, always walking the perimeter, nose in the air, in search of an intruder and possible threat. That he needs to see a criminal in everyone he meets. That no law, or sense of decorum, or values about protecting the weaker and more infirm would apply to him any more. I don't know what kid of police system would put this tactic for this paperwork "crime" into their "rules of engagement".
