The logic of violence — Tennessee and Mexico

I’ve said it before — violence in Mexico, horrifying as it might be, is logical. Mexico Trucker On-line goes into over-drive on the unemployed trucker who shot up a church in Tennesee because it was “too liberal”:

…I can’t think of one instance in Mexico, in recent history where a person have invaded a house of worship and opened fire indiscriminately. In the US, it is becoming common place.

How many school massacres have occurred in Mexico in recent memory? None!

How many families have been destroyed by domestic violence involving a firearm? Very few!

Mexico has stict gun control laws and they are enforced. That is not to say many families don’t keep firearms for personal protection, but they think many times before using them.

The cartels don’t enter into this discussion.

Who else can we pin the blame on since in American society today, it is easier to blame someone else rather than taking an intraspective look at ourselves?

The good misguided folks who lobby for immigration reform while in reality they don’t want any immigration should shoulder some of the blame for pushing their bullshit views on anyone who will listen. Usually the weak minded who need others to tell them what to think. Lou Dobbs, Willy Cunningham and others share the blame!

How about the Jerry Falwells, Joel Osteens and other who preach thinly disguised racism under the guise of religion? Certainly they share part of the blame.

And the rest of us? Let’s just blame it on the Mexicans and get on with our lives!
