The Murderers Of Alex Pretti

 

Alex Pretti 

So now we have names behind who murdered Alex Pretti. At first I couldn't comprehend the complete irony that Pretti was shot by two men of Mexican ethnicity. But then I thought of my girlfriend from high school, Maria, who was Mexican American. She lived most of her young life in a nice American suburb in the Midwest, living with her grandparents who spoke no English. Maria was the product of a one night stand. Her absent father lived in Chicago while her mother raised her other children in southern Texas. I first believed Maria was my savior and friend. My first introduction into her true nature arose when we were driving through Elgin, heading to her Uncle's home for the weekend. They both started speaking in Spanish while they pointed and laughed at a group of men standing outside a home. I didn't understand them until Maria used a slur I definitely understood. It was a shock to me and I felt sick to my stomach. We didn't talk this way in my home. How could my "friend" say such a vile word to the people she had shared a culture with? They went through the same intolerance and bigotry. She and I walked the school halls in the affluent village where we were the misfits, the weird and untouchables. People didn't look at Maria's birth certificate. They judged her by her skin color. And here she was, feeling superior to a group of people who weren't born here but sought a better existence. So, it's not really shocking when two men with Latino surnames shoot a man who was protesting the plight of illegal immigrants. It's the mentality we see when people who have managed to get into a good school, pay off their debt and scream foul when Biden wanted to help those who were bogged down in debt. "Well, we didn't get any help, why should you!" Because Maria had a legal piece of paper she thought she was so much better, although she lived in the exact same environment, speaking Spanish to communicate with her relatives, always making tortillas from scratch, eating Mexican food every single day and listening to musica Mexicana. 

All that anger those two men have for people they despise slammed into the back of one man. They thought themselves better. Now, they are nothing but cold blooded murderers. Isn't it ironic?

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
