It''s Ok to Steal an Election, but Burning a Flag is Unlawful

We are sure messed up. I blame Rupert Murdoch and his media empire first and foremost followed by the spineless Republicans that lack courage to tell a bully to shut the fuck up and sit down.  Throw in a screwed up messed up Supreme Court and we have an assault on self-rule.

If more people that not in leadership were responsible and ethical then more people would have demonstrated courage to hold Donald J Trump accountable for all his egregious actions, some of which were crimes.

So now, we have leader that has let criminals out and now wants to curtail our 1A Right.  

Where are these "Don't Tread On Me" folks? Probably supporting Trump to further assault our Liberty.

In case you are wondering about the previous question and statement, I believe those on the Right are all about the image (red, white, blue, guns, "thank you for your service" bullshit), but extremely lacking in fortitude.  Kind of like, big hat, no cattle.

The Good Guy Can't Even Kill a Man ~15' Away Strapped to a Chair

The Guardian reported that SC Department of Corrections had a botched execution.  The firing squad missed their target.  Goddamn it!  

These shooters were "good guys" that were trained.  Purportedly they are expert marksmen (or markswomen, even better, markspeople).

Why does our society have an infatuation with an instrument of destruction (aka a gun)?

I just do not understand.

Why can't we have an infatuation for human capital development (HCD)?  I know, it costs money and not all of it is well spent.  Neither is marketing dollars, but it is necessary.

If we focused on HCD, then I suspect we would have fewer problems to address and most likely, fewer criminals.
