Loaded for Bear


 

Innocent of intent while carrying an

assault-type weapon? Oh yes, the intent

was to be  helpful in a situation known to

get out of hand when people protest their

human rights and in the process assault

the human right of others. Violence begets

physical harm, and the intent was to offer

medical services as would a knight in shining

armour. In place of a sword an AR-15

automatic rifle for this is the 21st Century

after all where knights come in varied

colours and intentions. This was no 

violation of a criminal code that punishes

killers with incarceration, it was the impact

of fear in the mind of a youth raised to 

believe in his inherent right to ownership of

a lethal weapon. In some parts of the world

a frontier mentality reflects a frontier

system of justice where the evidence negates

the reality of murder, plain and simple.
