USA…Intelligence Breeds Stupidity…?
Listen that really is not a very nice thing to say, though at the time I do not feel very nice about the situation here in the USA.
Most of us, citizens of the US, have of course been brought up here, or raised whichever one prefers, though of course that is another argument some people will want to start. Perhaps it ought to be Psychology breeds stupidity, well anyway semantics, one way or the other.
Interesting stuff going on here around the University of Florida, as the other day the UF police raided the home of what some could say is a bit of a delusional man, student, who is from Africa. Evidently he is having problems with his perception of who wants him here and who may want him to leave, though that is not a crime. Cops busted in his door and after what the cops have called an alteration or whatever, they shop him in the head, well one of them did, though he actually fire twice with the rifle he had.
What is interesting is the guy they shot can hardly walk without a cane due to childhood polio, and evidently he was sitting on the floor of his home laughing at the cops, who said he got up and attacked them with a piece of pipe, which is why the one cop shot him.
He is now in serious condition, hopefully with the grace of God he will be OK.
Now for the stupidity, as the UF Police department is run by a so called chief who graduated from the F.B.I. Academy in 1995, and in 2000 she presented a program on “Hate Crimes, Effective Police Response” with the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service, at the National Conference On Race And Ethnicity In Higher Education, held at Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was also a chief at Purdue University before she took the job at UF.
Now who gives a program on police response and then has officers on her force who evidently have no idea of what force is needed or necessary in the official duties of their jobs, i.e.- go break into a home of a student who is a bit delusional, though has not from what I have read hurt or tried to hurt anyone. Now then having a pipe and or trying to swing it at five police officers, well UF Police Officers, who as I already stated seem to have no idea of what the hell they are or were supposed to be doing. Tell me how five people could not stop this guy from hurting anyone or himself without shooting him in the head.
This is a huge part of the problem we have today in the USA, stupidity to the point of insanity at what is right or wrong, along with what is justifiable behavior in protecting oneself. Our political correctness is the main culprit in this stupidity and or insanity, as it seems if you are gay or lesbian or whatever, LBGT group you belong to you can do no wrong, and if someone says anything to offend one from this group then all hell breaks loose. Then put one in charge of force, and see what happens. Also belongs in the same category of the Obama presidency, who thinks gay marriage is OK. From what planet did or do these people come from? Fortunately the majority of Americans are very adamant in the thought that gay marriage is not what is needed or wanted for America.
What does that have to do with the shooting? If you can not figure it out, it may be necessary to reassess ones’ moral status and or values.
Yes, Change is needed, and it is happening, now with the fact that many, many people are just as angry at this stupidity as I, thank heaven.
Of course we all have our own opinion(s).
