A Whole Lot of Everything

Good morning my babies! It's still chilly, but the sun is shining and the morning has been very productive. Little by little, this place empties, boxes stuffed full wait patiently at the new house, yearning to be set free from their cardboard exile. Soon my bright shiny things, soon.

You all know I am such a news junkie. I should find another hobby, or at least give up wearing knickers. That way they can't constantly be tied in a knot. Too many bad things happen to innocents, and those responsible literally get away with murder. It makes me sad, and, given the actions of certain authorities, embarrassed. You know because tasering a man who was simply lost and afraid in a country he didn't know, unable to reach out because he didn't speak our language is what we do here in the good old usa. Wait a minute HRG (I can hear you say that now) we're not 'merican! You're right. We're not. We expect better from those hired to protect us. Their behaviour is less than Canadian. They're cowards. Plain and simple. Tasering a man FIVE times because he may have made a "threatening" gesture with a stapler is their defense. Yes, you read right my darlings, a stapler! Big scary weapon. Then it turns out the stapler incident didn't happen. The officer was "confused". I'm thanking my Goddess that someone had the foresight to record the entire episode on his cel phone. Then he made it very public. Too late for the cowards to conjure up even more lies. The naive side of me (yes, I still have one) wants to believe that the promise of legal action is more than just pre-election posturing. With a heavy heart and sick stomach, the realistic side of me knows that nothing will happen to these officers. I can't call them men, because they're not. Oh, they're male, but I wouldn't refer to them as men. I stand by my original statement. They're cowards and each and everyone of them should be facing manslaughter charges.

And right before they're sentenced, they should be made to stand and apologize to every single Canadian and to the country of Poland.

But that would mean taking responsibility and we all know how that ends.

Sadly yours,

HRG
