On September 16th, in Palmdale, California, authorities say a man drove up beside a marked Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department patrol car, then shot and killed the deputy inside. The murder took place just feet away from the Palmdale Sheriff’s station. A suspect was arrested and pled not guilty by reason of insanity. Meeting the legal definition of insanity is not easy, but from a layman’s point of view, this act sure seems insane. Yet it’s not unusual, not anymore.
In Florida, a video shows a high school football player ripping off a fallen opponent’s helmet, and then beating him over the head with it. The victim’s medical reports remain private, but witnesses say that after the brutal attack, he showed concussion-like symptoms, including dizziness and slurred speech.
Both Republican and Democratic politicians have recently been caught in horrific lies and in actions that demean our country. My point is not to enter the political fray, so I won’t name them. My point is that even in the highest levels of government, regardless of whether they carry the label of “liberal” or “conservative,” politicians are acting in increasingly entitled, self-centered ways. And they viciously attack anyone who questions their despicable actions.
