Obama: Guns and Executive Orders

I watched Obama's address on GUN CONTROL this morning.

I saw the children there, being exploited as props.

I saw the audience of Obama supporters, applauding his proposals.

Obama had on his serious face.

The stage was set. The performers emoted.

I didn't hear anything that Obama proposed that would have prevented the recent mass shootings.

I did hear a load of hypocrisy. Obama wants to fund "resource officers" in schools. He wants more police on the streets.

In other words, he believes ARMED protection is important in ensuring the safety of Americans.

The way to limit "gun violence" is with more guns. OK.

It bothered me that Obama kept exploiting the horrific Newton shootings. The fact is no background check would have stopped what Adam Lanza did. He stole the guns he used from his mother. He murdered her. HE BROKE THE LAW. No ruling from King Obama, no law passed by Congress, can stop people from disregarding them if they choose.

I wish it were possible to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill and evil individuals. I don't think it is. Those wishing to do harm to others can accomplish their goal.

What I found most disturbing about Obama's dance was his politicization of the problem.

Blaming Congress (aka Republicans) and talk radio and the NRA for gun violence in America is shameful. Blame the killers, Obama.

Obama kept yapping about protecting our children. This from the most radical pro-abortion president in our nation's history.

Respect life? Obama has two faces.

Obama blathered on and on about our "rights." He's the alleged defender of the 2nd Amendment and our inalienable rights.

Really?

Obama declared war on Catholics and stripped us of our religious liberty. Are we really supposed to buy that this imperial president is defending our freedom?

Obama's penchant for executive rulings, his bypassing of Congress and refusing to be bound by our Constitution's checks and balances, is beyond troubling.

Bottom line: Those people bent on murdering others are going to do it. Obama's "executive actions" won't impact them.

I didn't hear Obama address the real problem - the breakdown of the family and the lack of sound moral values in our society. I didn't hear Obama talk about right and wrong, good and bad, in terms of people's behavior. Yes, he spoke of getting the CDC to "study" the effects of violent video games on people; but that's a waste. That's nothing but window dressing.

It's time to address the reality that our country is no longer grounded in moral values.

Until Obama and his cohorts admit that the fault lies in the actions of twisted individuals rather than inanimate objects, nothing will change.

Bay View High School Fight - 30 Arrests

It wouldn't be a normal school year in the Milwaukee Public Schools if a massive brawl didn't break out, resulting in dozens of arrests.

Bay View High School was the site of violence yesterday.

From FOX6 News:

Milwaukee police say 30 arrests were made Thursday, October 18th after a fight in the school cafeteria quickly became a brawl at Milwaukee’s Bay View High School.

Police say they responded to the school just before 9:00 a.m. Thursday. 22 MPD squad cars and 29 police officers responded to the scene.

The school was placed under “lockdown” for a short time.

Officials say several fights broke out following breakfast in the school cafeteria.

“A lot of fist punching, kids stomping on tables in the cafeteria,” one student said.

Those arrested include eight adults (17-19 years old), 20 juveniles (13-16 years old) and two 11-year-old students. The adults and juveniles arrested received disorderly conduct citations. The 11-year-old students were transported to MPD’s District 6 and released to their parents.

Police say upon officers’ arrival at the scene, students were fighting, yelling and being profane and offensive.

Milwaukee Public Schools security officials attempted to clear the cafeteria and the fighting continued. Police say those involved resisted the attempts of MPS safety personnel, teachers and MPD to break up the fight.

My God, 22 police squads and 29 police officers!

I know there are Bay View alumni who are horrified by the violence.

Generations of families attended the school. It was nothing like this.

Where's Mayor Tom Barrett? Still hanging out with Big Bird?

Does he have anything to say?

Here's video:



According to WISN 12 News:

Milwaukee Police said as of 11 a.m., 24 students were in custody – seven males and 17 females. A representative from Milwaukee Public Schools revised that total to 30 later in the afternoon.

TMJ4 reports:

After the fight, the school went into "code red," meaning that no one could enter or leave the building.

"What parents need to understand is that our schools are safe and we do our very best to make sure that happens and that parents have confidence," says Denise Callaway, business and community partnerships coordinator at MPS.

No, the schools obviously are not safe. Parents do understand.

This story illustrates that.
