The Colorado shooting

There are seldom clearly defined reasons behind these random kllings. I believe that the culture of violence has a great impact on the younger (defined as under-30) generation and that living in the U.S. right now is very stressful. Having said that, then does that begin to solve the violence? Of course not. Does the banning of firearms solve the violence, I doubt it. It is tragic that in Colorado they had this terrible killing at a movie theater, but there were also hundreds of other theaters throughout the U.S. playing the same movie and no violence occured. Movie theaters should be considered safe and a place to go for entertainment, let us not allow one nut case shooter take another freedom from the rest of us.

When I make such a radical statement, it’s not the ordinary American I’m referring to. I’m referring to the 4 million morally corrupt (as far as I am concerned) NRA (National Rifle Association) members and members of the Gun Owners of America who would each have a share in this umpteenth bloody assault on innocent fellow Americans because they all oppose stricter gun control laws. It is no secret to some of us that they have the control over some of the American states as some of their influential members control the politicians of those states. Not the shooting in the head of a Republican congresswoman in 2011 in another massacre could force the politicians to do something about America’s ridiculous gun laws. Not even the Virginia Tech massacre of 32 students in 2007 by that American-born Korean could change their warped thinking.

We all know this was not the first shooting massacre in modern America, and without a shadow of doubt, it’ll not be the last. So, Americans, prepare yourselves for more grief and mourning in future. Every time millions of Americans will mourn their dead, but year after year they’ll repeat it. Sounds so masochistic (and this case, repeatedly self-inflicted agony), doesn’t it?

And don’t blame Obama, because he and the most probable future president of America, Romney, can and would do nothing to change the status quo. Both have strongly voiced their support on stricter gun control in the past, but both have moved away from those positions for reasons not relevant now. The politicians today are being controlled by the financial powers of this world (including those in the arms industry in America and elsewhere) and would not budge. Personal gain and power are too important. But, let me say this, Obama does not have the moral conviction to fight for stricter gun control, because that’ll surely cost him the next election. But likewise, so doesn’t Mitt Romney, because he knows too that’ll cost him the election. So, am sorry to say that the Americans will again vote in another president deprived of moral conviction.

Maybe America should change their slogan “In God we trust” to “God help America”.

Yes, I am angry, Robert, I’m angry that the Americans do this to themselves. When are human compassion going to triumph over their self-interest, their greed, their power struggles, their heartlessness? Maybe they get what they deserve like every nation that get what they deserve when they elect the wrong government into power (like South Africa, for instance). These immensely gruesome events will repeat itself year after year in America. The politicians wouldn’t change it. The Americans in general need a change of heart and then do something about issues of this nature.

Robert, I’m sorry about this tragic event that’s happened this weekend. I can understand how you feel. I’m not American, but rest assured I do grieve in my heart for the American people when innocent Americans lose their lives like this. It was like that during 9/11, Virginia Tech 2007, Tucson 2011, and now again. I may not be regarded as the greatest friend of America, but I do consider myself a friend and believe me, this hurts America’s friends too, because America hurts.
