Survival Sentence

I am increasingly of the opinion that George Carlin is right, that we should round up all of this countries dangerous criminals and place them in one large fenced off area - for the sake of argument, lets call this area "Texas" - and give them all the guns and ammunition that they need to defend themselves. It's not a death sentence, it's a survival sentence. If this countries justice system wasn't so screwed up as to place a large percentage of innocent people into jail while at the same time letting many guilty free, if their wallets are large enough, then I would be all for the idea.

But that just isn't the case and that vision of Utopia may never come to be reality, instead we will have to live with our current Distopia. But what about the blatantly dumb people of this world who display their stupidity for all of the world to see while at the same time go around promoting a coarse of action that is, well, just fucking frightening. Isn't there something we can do about them?

Eric Thompson is a prime example of this sort of thought process. Thompson is the man who owns TGSCOM, an online gun store that sold hand guns to both the Virginia Tech shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, and the Northern Illinois University gunman, Steven Kazmierczak. This example of Midwestern inbreeding spoke yesterday at Virginia Tech promoting gun concealment on campuses across the country. It appears that his visit to the campus was almost unknown to anyone other than concealed gun supporters who he spoke in front of and who numbered less than 50. I imagine that this was a good thing for his sake as many would have liked to show Mr. Thompson that you don't need a gun to kill someone, all you need is your fists, or in the case of the Virginia Tech student body, many, many fists.

If there was ever been a clearer case of someone more deserving to partake in my experiment of "Survival Justice" I have not seen it.
