Bookends? Mirrors in the Dark?
As more is revealed about Aurora (funny how we now have only to mention the place), it bears assembling the spare facts and looking for patterns. Many startling things have emerged from these shootings; only a few months apart. It seems there has been an explosion of similar events since 9/11.
Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora,_Colorado, shows Aurora as Denver's largest suburb, more than half the size of Denver. It has a population (2010) of more than 325,000; about 60% white and 40% non-white. All of those shot were white.
DKS is white; and Zimmerman is a white-wannabe who went out, armed, at night, looking for blacks. DKS was obviously much more intelligent and capable than Zimmerman. Do the numbers show (in their disparity) that DKS was looking for whites? Both shooters were in their 20s and males. Just about all of the mass shooters have been white male since 1976 (averaging 20 mass shootings/year,according to TIME, 6Aug12). The places are ingrained in our consciousness.
A WELL-REGULATED MILITIA: is a requirement written by our Founders into the Constitution.
Just about everyone in this country, citizens and political leaders alike, ignore this. Why??
DeTocqueville found in 1830 a tyrannical (white) majority ruling in this nation with murder (by gun) on its mind. He found a new nation with two prominent goals: exterminate all Natives to get their land, and work all blacks to death in perpetuity. Over hundreds of years, this has settled into the psyche of all of our citizens, in one way or another. The Founders managed to depict blacks as less than human.
As the percentages of whites dwindle across the nation, the least-evolved, most threatened, and most extreme among the whites are more expressive of their fears and anxieties. This angst is especially evident now as the political extremes are doubling down in their efforts to hoard all the money and guns http://www.project.org/info.php?recordID=272; strangle the economy; and take other draconian measures to hold onto to control.
