My domestic tranquility and peace was disturbed this morning at a little bit before 4 AM.
Dramatic slamming of doors, loud, angry female voice hurling racist epithets, I believe that the angry female voice was that of a more or less African American woman so it appeared to be not an interracial incident.
I tried to ignore it but then I am very sure I heard a gunshot and at that point felt it necessary to call 911. Besides that, the loud, angry voice went silent.
The local police came and they handled it very well, talking the young lady down and restoring domestic tranquility and peace and I thought I’’d better show my lily white face in the dark rainy night to show them they had witnesses. Just in case.
One cop came round to reassure my domestic tranquility and peace that I really did not hear a gunshot, it was just the slamming of a garbage can lid. I’ve got witnesses who will swear it was a gunshot but I won’t argue with the police on this point, because it wouldn’t make sense to do so. It is convenient to buy their story right now.
Domestic tranquility and peace is now more or less restored — except for me, and I am really pissed!
I am now going to be really nice and not embark on a bloody trail of the F word used in various and creative ways to to illustrate my displeasure, my newest epithet is:
SLAVE STATE MENTALITY
Add that to your lexicon.
Slave State Mentality and its role in the foundations of the misinterpreted Second Amendment and the foundations of America’s Police State and white police on black folks brutality.
Police are a necessary evil for society until we (place my usual epithet here) fully start to police ourselves — which seems to be impossible.
Guns and the NRA are not.
Now, I can overlook guns used for hunting and what some folks call pleasure and for really and truly security reasons, but I won’t be too happy about it.
A hunter is not a hunter when he is (place my usual epithet here) Dick Cheney. Cheney is a matter of shooting fish in a barrel.
But I’m moving to Alabama and I’m going to be studying the matter of the foundations of the Second Amendment in the Slave State Mentality, as well as the foundations of American policing from the same racist foundation.
Kudos to my local police for being good restorers of domestic tranquility and peace even if they had to lie about it.
And, it’s only 6 AM and I haven’t had any coffee yet so don’t expect me to be intelligible.
So I’m going to toss in Thom Hartmann:
The Second Amendment Was Ratified to Preserve Slavery

Oh yeah. You got to add some more words to your lexicon:
SLAVE PATROL MILITIAS
The mother and father of the American system of policing.
