Who are you going to call?

 



 
So, the FBI screwed up again with the FedEx situation in Indianapolis.
At a time when social justice people are screaming to defund the police and to dump much of the responsibility on the shoulders of social workers to deal with many public safety issues, we get another massive failing of the system they want us to depend upon in the future.
Of course, the mass shooting at the FedEx facility is being blamed on the proliferation of guns, but in truth, this is one more failing of the system that social justice people want us to depend on – very similar to the equally massive failing of previous shootings.
The Fed-Ex event is largely a reboot of the Parkland slaughter in which authorities – who had previously been altered to a problem, failed miserably to do anything about it until innocent people were killed.
In Parkland, the FBI, the local police, and school officials, were all alerted to the suspect’s potential to commit violence and failed to take action that would prevent it.
As with Parkland, officials ahead of the FedEx shooting had been warned that the suspect was a problem. The FBI interviewed the suspect’s mother who said her son was contemplating suicide, took a gun away from him, and then did nothing to follow up on the problem – setting the stage for yet one more mentally ill person to go on a rampage.
Because the event feeds into the anti-gun narrative Democrats and the media are trying to promote, all we get is another attempt to outlaw legal gun ownership, while the administration fails to deal with the real problem – a failed mental health system that is being touted as the eventual replacement for law enforcement in the future.
Why was there no follow-up no psychological treatment for the suspect at the FedEx shooting? And if the FBI took a weapon away from him a year ago, he could not have purchased the replacement legally, and so what we have is a Biden Administration seeking to disarm responsible gun owners when the FBI failed once more to do its job.
We have social justice warriors screaming to defund police and for us to depend on Psychological Services and other means of peaceful non-violent dealing with the situation -- only when someone actually tries to employ those means of dealing with the situation nothing happens.
By the course and the liberal media are screaming about this plague of violence which isn't exactly true
We've had largely the same number of mass shootings over the last century as we have now, sporadic events that happened in places like Texas, Chicago,  New York or LA – which prompt the same call to disarm those people who are the least likely to shoot at a school or a FedEx building.
In New Jersey we have a liberal governor who is come up with new gun restrictions in reaction to the FedEx situation, failing to realize that the NRA already recommends lock boxes and proper gun training to his membership.
But we’re not seeing the governor or the president pushing to improve mental health resources that already exist, looking instead for a magic bullet of banning guns as the solution and the unrealistic assumption that a psychologist can do what a cop can do, when the real solution is to increase psychological training for cops, who will be better situated to handle these situations when they arise.
In promoting his anti-gun and anti-cop agenda, Biden ignores the mass killings going on in almost every major city, not madmen with automatic weapons shooting up FedEx, but mass murder in the street that most often involves black on black violence, using not the legal guns that Biden hopes to ban, but illegal guns nearly anybody can buy at any time, and often do.
Most of the people calling for defunding police or disarming the NRA have never been the victim of violent crime or try to peddle it off as the result of questionable systemic racism.
It is easy for them to ban guns, rather than seek real solutions, or to seek to defund police when the answer is to dedicate funding on a federal level to improve mental health services and improve the follow up on potential suspects that the current system isn’t doing – even when it is clear there is a problem, and someone has actually altered them to it.
If you want psychologists to become the new Ghost Busters, then make them do their jobs when someone actually calls them.
Liberals want us to depend on psychologists when someone calls for help rather than a police officer.
Well it didn't work in Parkland and it didn't work at the FedEx building.
So, what makes you think we can trust it to work in the future when there is no cop to call and the only guns that are available are illegally obtained?
Are we going to send social workers to deal with the mass shootings that occurred in Chicago every weekend or Baltimore or New York?
Instead of banning guns bided should be finding a way to make the system that we are supposed to depend on more dependable but that's not possible in this mentally ill approach to social justice we are seeing implemented.
