A trebuchet is still used in modern biological warfare...the difference being that the contraption is no longer actually used on the field of battle to fling dead rotting carcasses across enemy lines...in today's day and age the trebuchet is used in the political arena...where shitty ideas are tossed around until they infect the untrained mind...spreading filth and useless sh*t for miles...here's a prime example...and I hate to use this so close to the culmination of the actual event...but the recent catastrophe in Colorado has caused an eruption of trebuchet flinging material to be disseminated to the masses...GUN CONTROL/ANTI 2ND AMENDMENT ENTHUSIASTS have already begun screaming for stricter laws regulating who can LEGALLY own guns...it seems that the message has been skewed...and here's why these idiots need to be brought before a firing squad and eliminated from our ranks...GUN CONTROL LAWS AFFECT the LAW ABIDING citizens...they do NOTHING to prevent OUTLAWS from obtaining GUNS...these people don't get it...they start with the most useless information and run with it...several theaters pulled Dark Knight Rises from their play lists and have decided to forego any small fortune the film would have resulted in to provide SAFETY for their patrons...REALLY??? So what you're saying is...some NUT job goes on a killing spree and it's the movies fault...I don't suppose he could have gone into any other theater...showing any other movie...and done the same thing...NO...it was the presence of an actor imitating a comic book super hero that set him off...RIGHT...and if you believe that shit...you're too stupid to read any further...save me the time of having to explain why our thought processes are so out of whack...you're head is lodged deep within the nether regions of your torso cavity evacuation chamber...was the incident tragic...without a doubt...should it be used to further the agenda of a few misguided souls...NOT on the darkest of days...I don't own a gun...I have in the past and the are tools for protection when placed in the hands of law abiding citizens...they are elements of death and destruction when placed in the hands of an outlaw...you don't take away guns from law abiding citizens...you make sure they have enough of them to get the job done...ya ever notice how the US military doesn't invade another country without ample firepower..you don't honestly think we send troops over there with only one gun and a handful of ammo do ya...HELL NO...they ship over armories of weapons in case somebody loses theirs...or it gets damaged...the same should apply in every household of every law abiding citizen...and instead of making people apply for a concealed weapons permit...those that own them legally should be able to walk the streets with them showing...it will separate the crazy bastards from the sane ones...because here's the thing...that guy walks into that same theater with 300 people watching the new Batman flick...and the 100 adults watching the show with their kids are armed...that f*cktard gets off 1 maybe 2 shots...before his ass is turned into a pin cushion for Smith & Wesson...I'm all for Frontier Justice...it worked for years...kept people honest...you stepped on the wrong boot and your ass had a date at high noon to see who was gettin fitted for a casket...this is what I don't get...how do you take this guy ALIVE...and WHY??? Idk about you but I don't want my taxpaying dollars to be donated to his safe keeping in some penitentiary...NOW if ya wanna strip him naked in Times Square and let every family member of the ones shot...(killed or injured)...walk by and paint their own target on his body...and publically execute him by Family Firing Squad at Point Blank range...televise it nationally and make it mandatory to watch before your TV will work again...I'll start up a fundraiser on Facebook and pay for his funeral costs in less than 5 seconds...I'll show you a trebuchet...we'll launch the body parts of the socially dysfunctional dumbasses of this nature out into the bay...let the sharks eat...it's NOT the guns that are killing people...it's the bullets that they fire that do the damage...so here's the game plan should we get somebody in office with half a potato for a brain...everyone gets a FREE gun of their choice for their 18th birthday...you register it...show them how to use it...one box of training ammo...after that...bullets cost $5,000.00 each...people won't be so apt to go on expensive shooting sprees...they won't be able to afford it...and ya throw in public displays of beheading the next bastard...light his brain bucket on fire and trebuchet that thing out into the deep blue sea...violence in this country will go to BYE BYE almost overnight...sure there will be a few stubborn asses we need to weed out...but at the hands of would be victims...NOT a corrupt Judicial System...this country should still be governed by those with the balls to take care of business...in public if need be...guns aren't the answer for every situation...but if they are going to be OWNED & USED by those outside the law...they oughtta DAMN WELL be encouraged for those living WITHIN the LAW...this country is far enough out of whack as it is...if they take our GUNS...we're all gonna know what 'Prison Bitch Syndrome' is...we'll get bent over the barrel so damn quick...you won't know what number you pulled or who's up next...the trebuchet of today is far deadlier than the ones used during the medieval days...the disease it spreads rots the mind...it cements shitty ideas across vast regions of inner space...the 6 inches between your ears...I will continue to implore all of you...even those with the tiniest of peas in their empty little pods...to think outside the box...don't be so quick to JUDGE others...especially if you don't have all the facts...or the mental capacity to formulate an opinion on the matter...what works for some people...doesn't work for others...GET USED TO IT...it's NATURAL for PEOPLE who claim to be INDEPENDENT & FREE THINKING...to do just that for themselves...have your beliefs...have your loyalties...KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF...I make fun of alotta different situations in these little episodes we usually enjoy together...sometimes I make influential arguments...I NEVER claim to be the one with all the answers...I don't even claim to be right half the time I pick apart one of these pieces of information...all I try and do is showcase things in a different light...from angles people seldom see themselves unless their attention is drawn to it...it's like fishing...if ya can't think like a fish...you're gonna drill holes in hockey rinks to try and feed your family come winter...Don't be the guy fishing from Center Ice...LIVE & LET LIVE...unless living means you have the capacity to do dumb shit like kill a bunch of innocent civilians who were just trying to enjoy visual entertainment...12 Dead...another 50 wounded...looks like we have enough witnesses to trebuchet a trial right out the f**kin' window if ya ask me...caught him alive...feed him...interrogate him for a maximum of 36 hours...then set him FREE...let NATURE take it's course...you ever watch other animal groups...they eliminate the weak or unwanted from the rest of the herd...sometimes lethally...often times with such a strong message they NEVER show their face among their own kind AGAIN...we are the DUMBEST smart creature walking the planet...half of us wouldn't even know a trebuchet if we saw one...let alone what the hell it could be used for...thankfully I watch the History Channel...and history tells me we are doing shit wrong...this is the worst...most inept empire in the history of man...we allow 62 individuals to be shot...killed...wounded...traumatized for life...as well as how many other witnesses...or phobics who...because of this isolated incident...will NEVER go out in public again...and we give the person responsible a place to LIVE on OUR DIME...that's NOT...Land of the FREE & the home of the BRAVE...that's Land of the DUMB & home of the soon to be latest fallen from grace empire on Earth...there are changes that need to be made...are the ones I suggested the right ones...for some it is...people often ask me...Would you feel the same way if the assailant was your own child? G**DAMN right I would...I'm NOT hypocritical on the subject...it would be preached from birth...you screw up and step too far outta line...these other people are gonna take you...cut you into nice healthy chunks...and trebuchet your carcass all over Main St...and they're gonna put it on TV...you wanna know how popular this program would be...implement it NOW...my grandchildren will hafta watch reruns of public executions on some weird thing called a DVD...if they can even find somebody that still has a player...look around the world...some of the very countries we are at WAR with...participate in public displays of punishment...some Arab countries kill prisoners in public...some chop off hands for stealing from the market...others cut off feet for trying to run from the authorities...is it the right answer??? It works...kinda hard to steal if you don't have hands...chances are you won't be fleeing the country anytime soon if you're footless...BRUTAL...definitely...EFFECTIVE...without a doubt...we protect our criminals from Cruel & Unusual punishment...for committing acts of CRUEL & UNUSUAL punishment on their victims...if that isn't the most fundamentally f**ked up logic on this planet...I'll snip the tip of my tally whacker and trebuchet that mushroom topped temptation with triple times tachyon speed...it's been over 36 hours...I should be popping some corn and kicking back with my children watching somebody's soul depart their body...if his family members want to get involved...PERFECT...the more the merrier...get rid of them too...it'll prevent revenge killings in the future!!!
