"He Who Fights With Monsters"
The Absolute Last Word on the Colorado Shooting, by Jim Wright.
This is the cost of civilization, right?
Twelve more dead kids in a movie theater. That’s freedom, right there. That’s liberty. That’s America goddamn it. That’s what I spent my whole life in uniform defending, the right to have twelve more slaughtered innocents and blood running in the streets.
You just can’t stop it. Crazy people with guns and random carnage are the price you pay so that the rest of us can be free.
And the only way to combat it is, well, to literally combat it, with more guns. Big fucking guns.
Seriously? That’s your solution?
Armor up and shoot it out?
Read. The. Whole. Thing.
