Bloody Paws...

 © April 19, 2023, the Griot Poet

[This] is America:

 

Ralph Yarl,

16-year-old saxophonist and honor student in Kansas,

Plans to major in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M in College Station,

He was shot ringing the wrong doorbell,

He was off by a block,

Picking up his younger twin brothers almost was his death knell.

An 84-year-old court jester, Andrew Lester, entered a plea of “not guilty.”

 

Kaylin Gillis, 20,

A young lady in Sarasota, New York,

A passenger in the car with her boyfriend,

Again, they didn’t divine the driveway he used for turning around was the WRONG one.

She lost her life because of it.

65-year-old Kevin Monahan, with a straight face, pled, “Not guilty!”

 

Two high school cheerleaders in Elgin,

Heather Roth, Woodlands Elite, who tried to apologize,

And Payton Washington, Round Rock Independent School District,

The girls made an honest mistake in an HEB parking lot,

Tired after a cheering workout,

Getting in the wrong car got them both shot,

The shooter?

25-year-old Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr.

We can assume that he doesn’t think he’s guilty.

Critically injured, Payton was airlifted to Austin on a Star Flight helicopter.

Her spleen was removed.

 

24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary,

Shot at a six-year-old baby,

And her mother and father,

In Gaston County, North Carolina

Two hours from Greensboro,

Because of the basketball she and her father were playing with,

Bounced in his backyard,

So, World War III, the baby?

We don’t know what Robert’s plea would have been since he was on the run from authorities, picked up in Florida.

 

Recap:

Four men: Two white, one Hispanic, and an African American,

Summary: Gun nuttery is [obviously] ecumenical!

 

America is a danger to its children.

Kids are depressed because they’ve been practicing “active shooter drills” since kindergarten!

We passed laws to mandate seatbelts for kids, only for them to die by gunshots.

This insanity has to stop,

But, no sooner than Rupert Murdoch,

Drops 787.5 billion dollars in the Dominion settlement,

 

Chief propagandist,

Tucker Carlson,

Heir to the Tyson chicken fortune,

A double entendre if there ever was one!

Tuck doesn’t have to work another second,

Lookalike for Christian Bale in “American Psycho,”

Tuck was gaslighting his gullible audience.

On the same night of the Dominion verdict,

Lying about yet another “race war” conspiracy theory,

A far cry from Bill O’Reilly’s “War on Christmas.”

We don’t even get “Festivus.”

This war is on the rest of us.

 

When will this bullshit stop?

Who’s going to be shot next?

 

The Census taker?

The Real Estate agent?

The door-to-door satellite TV salespeople?

The door-to-door get-out-the-vote volunteers.

Poll workers?

Girl Scouts selling cookies, and Boy Scouts selling popcorn since you’re so afraid of babies.

 

How much will we let Fox “Not News” lick from its bloody paws?

STOP!

 

Fox is a propaganda outlet.

Like their slave-owning ancestors,

They want women barefoot and pregnant to have more workers!

 

We lost a million citizens/workers because they were lied to about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine during the COVID pandemic.

They lie about climate change when other topics aren’t trending.

All these people who shot our babies,

Probably watch this bullshit daily,

Driven by fear [to] support a failing gun industry,

By convincing them that America is an on-fire hellscape!

 

(Be afraid, be very afraid: always!)

 

Ban books, ban history, ban women’s bodily autonomy,

Those Asian people, brown people, queer people, women, immigrants, and children are [obviously] superhuman!

That’s why they’re armed to the teeth to fight “Demographic Armageddon!”

 

Here are my suggestions:

 

Since they’re not a news outlet:

Their press passes should be rescinded,

Their FCC license should be shredded!

 

Every gun owner needs liability insurance.

If you want an arsenal, get coverage for it.

Every state requires us to have liability insurance for autos.

And just like cars:

If you or your guns are involved in a massacre, you’re responsible,

Legally and financially,

Once we clean out a few bank accounts, gun massacres will drop exponentially!

 

Every gun owner needs a biometric safe.

In the military,

When we annually qualified with the Glock 9-millimeter and the Mike-one-six,

When we were finished,

We checked them back into the armory, where we GOT them!

No one took a single weapon home!

We didn’t see them again until the next qualifying session or deployment!

 

We need Universal Background Checks and red flag laws.

Don’t tell me the government can't create a database.

Try driving a car off any sales lot like a good libertarian without registering with the state.

I’ll wait!

 

Turn in your cable box.

The bundle you buy from AT&T and Spectrum,

Is their main source of revenue,

In other words:

You PAY Fox’s bills whether you watch them or not!

Get a Roku and start streaming what you want.

I reduced my cable, power bills, and blood pressure by doing it.

 

As a bonus:

You won’t have to see Tucker looking like a lost “Scooby Do” puppy,

Every time he asks a stupid question.

 

Fun fact:

Fox has never won a “Pulitzer, Emmy, Peabody, or Edward R. Murrow Award for journalism on the merits of its work.” (Snopes)

Because the industry knows that they’re a joke!

Because journalism has never been Rupert’s focus!

 

I want this boycott to go viral!

We can all do this act and save a few dollars.

 

And

Don’t forget to vote!

Restore the bodily autonomy of women!

Get government out of our bedrooms!

CRUSH the gun culture in every election!

We need to save the future for our kids from ghoulish fiends like the Murdochs.

 

We can do this!

And I approve of this message!
