UNCHECKED, SANCTIONED U.S. violent CRIME: 24 / 7 setting the
example for America’s young and impressionable
Americans lunge from crisis to crisis, from blame fest to
blame fest, from bold headline to bold headline (sprinkled with hand-wringing
“shock” and “thoughts and prayers”) — with no concern for or attempt to address
and solve the United States’ deep-rooted contributive preexisting culture and
conditions:
Promotion,
choice and celebration, language and example of violence by public figures,
politicians and public officials, and mass media (including news and sports
broadcasting and entertainment sectors), which particularly affects the
country’s mentally ill and impressionable.
Poverty,
fear, ignorance
Sore human
relations and community relations
Failed
trust between citizenry and public service or government
Misplaced
priorities and inadequate social, economic, educational, and leisure staffing
and resources
Incest and
nepotism yielding inadequate work ethic and unfit intellectual and experiential
caliber and character in U.S. leadership and high-level personnel
Unfit
moral, psychological and ethical character in leadership
♦ KILLED ON ORDERS
Policy, acquiescence, direct actions of United States leaders, their partners and personnel
