Imperial shooting sprees

CounterPunch
by Joe Mowrey

01/19/11

It is tragic that six people lost their lives and many more were wounded by a fanatic in Arizona. Indiscriminate killing is a terrible thing. There is no way we can truly comprehend the motives behind this act, nor appreciate the full extent of the pain and heartache suffered by those affected. But behind the pathos surrounding this crime is an ugly truth. Though we profess indignant sorrow for those who died at the hands of a madman in Arizona, we willfully ignore the deaths of innocents which occur every day as a result of our own government's foreign policies...

The Tucson massacre is now serving as the pretext for new Federal speech laws. Now I don?t want to come off like some kind of paranoid, anti-government nutjob, but there is much potential for governmental abuse in such legal language as 'to incite violence.' But that?s one of the many nifty perks of being a ruler. You?re in the unique position of simply asserting causal links between acts of violence and expressions of speech while never having to worry about being held accountable for the acts of violence carried out at your command on nearly a daily basis...
