In the Banana Republic known as TEXAS: On October 6, 2021, “I just want to re-emphasize that this is not a random act of violence,” Chief Kolbye said. “This is not somebody attacking our schools. This is a student — we believe right now, preliminary, that it was a student — they got into a fight and drew a weapon.” Carol Harrison Lafayette, a member of Mr. Simpkins’s family, told Fox 4, a local television station, “The decision he made, taking the gun, we are not justifying that. That was not right. But he was trying to protect himself. We hope the police department does the investigation properly.” (New York Times)
In the Newly formed Christian Nationalist Holy Kingdom of Texas on September 15, 2021, the Christian Crusaders acting like the Republican Majority of the Texas Congress issued their Heartbeat law. The law has made national news as it comes with a new, uniquely cruel twist that allows anyone who is opposed to abortion—regardless of where they live or whether they have any association with a patient—to sue an abortion provider or anyone who helps a patient obtain an abortion, such as by providing financial help or transportation.

The State and Federal Republicans of this TRUMPLANDIA Fiefdom have little to no words of concern for victims of GUN VIOLENCE, except for the usual, “THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS;” with many of them spending perhaps a few minutes expressing their view that their Jesus would be satisfied with the innocent deaths because like with vaccinations FREEDOM OF SELF is paramount to the destruction of the lives of the victims. BUT, DAMN, there is a PLETHORA of words and comments, punishment and doom for the FEMALES who want FREEDOM of their own bodies, who have been forcibly raped by strangers or family members. Somehow if the life lives in a womb, THAT zygote or Fetus is entitled to PRIVILEGE that anyone outside of the womb is not. So, one has to wonder, what if a victim of GUN VIOLENCE is a pregnant female, would the TEXAS CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS finally deride the horrible and hideous murders by gun, or would GUN RIGHTS reign supreme over HUMAN RIGHTS?
