Not Our Finest Hour Part II

Just a few weeks ago, I dispatched a communique to the world via a series of computers and servers networked together for the purpose of communication and the sharing of pictures of nekid ladies.

I admonished the world at the time that we were on the verge of the golden age in retarditude.

I expressed that those perceived as fascists and totalitarians in the entirety of this poorly executed panty raid were just hapless dolts who were avoiding lawsuits.  I expressed optimism in that assessment in an effort to avoid invoking Godwin’s Law which dictates that I eventually compare these people to that German fellow who once tried to take over the world.

The world continues to spin ladies and gentlemen, and spin it has.

The cloud of idiocy around the pandemic appears to be dissipating as society emerges from the lockdown and recovers from the 2020 blue screen of death.

Might I add that it was not one minute too soon for a riots to occur.

Granted, these weren’t the toilet paper riots I posited a few months ago when all of this nonsense started. 

Instead, it was a riot around a case where four police officers and a civilian met on the curb of a street in Minneapolis, and the civilian didn’t survive the incident.

I’d tell you what the racial makeup of the participants was, but you probably already know that by now.

You also know what the name of the civilian was.

You know that name because contrary to a popular narrative, this doesn’t happen every day.  If it did, we wouldn’t know the names of these victims because our complacency about such a common place occurrence would be omnipresent.

Case in point, we know the names of those who were first to walk in space or go galivanting on the moon.  We know that Bob and Doug are the astronauts who just climbed on a SpaceX ride to the space station last week.  How many of those astronauts’ names can we list off who were aboard that last five U.S. shuttle missions to the same destination?

We generally don’t know the names of the subsequent individuals to divorce themselves of the confines of gravity and atmosphere in orbit or on the moon without looking it up. 

Space travel has become so common place that we don’t make a point to remember the names of everyone who’s ever done it before.

Unfortunate incidents between the police and civilians is still rare enough that we remember the names of the victims.

But wait, there’s more.

Riots ensued for reasons I don’t completely understand.

We’re all on the same page about the tragedy which took place.  That’s regardless of what color we are.

The officers involved were immediately fired, and were charged criminally within a matter of days. 

The riots have produced additional death and destruction.

Why the riots?

The most plausible answer is that protests which were intended to be peaceful turned ugly once the likes of ANTIFA reared its ugly head and stirred the pot.

Consider the fact that this whole nation has been under lockdown for the last few months and the Minneapolis incident was the last straw.

Don’t forget external parties though.  The best way to tear down a team (or country) is to introduce discord internally.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I bristled when I saw the year 2020 being referred to as a dumpster fire.

The bristle is gone, and I’m thinking I might buy a t-shirt with such a picture.
