Bay Area Houston

It’s time we start asking the obvious question. I started with my State Representative Dennis Paul.

Paul lives down the street from me. Occasionally we see each other walking the green belt. In the past we exchange greetings, nothing more but after the Uvalde massacre something in me broke and I walked up to him and asked the obvious question “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

We are at a point in time when no other question needs to be asked. When all you can do is stand around at the polls wearing a stupid looking nra hat after 19 children were slaughtered by an 18 year old who you gave easy access to a military firearm then you need to be asked the question. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” How sick can you be to just sit there and do nothing while Texans are slaughtered in school, church, night clubs, parades, concerts, and more with guns that you made easily access to? Are you mentally fucked up?

But Dennis Paul isn’t the only one we need to ask this question to. There are many more individuals who spout off stupidity, wild eyed conspiracy theories, and just plain nonsense. These individuals need to asked “What the fuck is wrong with you?”.

So, I am starting this new series thanking Dennis Paul for giving me the idea. We can’t be nice about his anymore. People are getting killed, bullied for being who they are. Our democracy is being challenged and no one has the guts to confront them.

So check back often to read my new series and if you see Dennis Paul, how about asking him the question?

Obviously we haven’t had enough pain and suffering. At least we haven’t.

Another school shooting this time in Nashville Tennessee has claimed the lives of three nine year olds and three adults. The Nashville police chief made it a point to say that law enforcement was quick to act unlike the cowards at the Uvalde massacre.

But let’s get to the point. This gun violence is a mental health issue. It has nothing to do with guns, or gun ownership, or easy access to killing weapons. It has everything to do with people who are sick in the head. People who walk the streets with a smile on their face after children are gunned down. There is no other explanation for this. It is a mental health issue because if you are an elected official, in a position of power to stop this senseless killing of children, and you do absolutely nothing then you are one mentally sick fuck.

Case in point, State Representative Dennis Paul of Houston Texas in the Bay Area. Dennis prides himself by wearing his NRA hat to the polls. He voted for open carry and permit less carry allowing anyone to carry a gun in the open, including assault weapons and body armor, and silencers. He supports 18 year olds, like the kid who killed 19 children in Uvalde, to buy assault weapons and armor piercing bullets. He supports buying silencers like the kind the Mafia uses.

Dennis Paul isn’t the only godless, sick, fuck in Texas. Everyone who voted for him and the other sick officials are also just as mentally ill as he is. Children are having their heads blown off by military style weapons and all Paul can do is wear his stupid looking NRA hat to the polls.

And all voters do is keep voting for him.

NOTE: PARDON MY LANGUAGE BUT I AM DONE FUCKING AROUND.

We are at a point that we must ask the hard question: What the fuck is wrong with us?

For living fucks sakes! Law enforcement that entered the Uvalde school was so afraid of the AR15, which the 18 year old shooter had legally purchased, that they waited for over an hour to do something. According to the Texas Tribune:

“You knew that it was definitely an AR,” Uvalde Police Department Sgt. Donald Page said in an interview with investigators after the school shooting. “There was no way of going in. … We had no choice but to wait and try to get something that had better coverage where we could actually stand up to him.”

Wait? Wait? Are you fucking kidding me? The police were equip with body armor, guns, and shields. The children were armed with crayons, glue sticks, and construction paper. People lining the streets of the Friendswood 4th of July parade, shoppers at Walmart, people who are worshipping at St Bernadette Catholic church are armed with fireworks, groceries, and bibles. If police are too afraid to confront a good guy who bought a gun to become a bad guy killing children what about us? What about you?

This report just shows you that this gun violence condoned by the Republican Party and endorsed by our State Representative Dennis Paul is nothing but a mental health issue. You have to be one sick motherfucker to be an elected official with the power to stop this senseless killing and sit back and do nothing but wear a dumbass looking NRA hat on top of your sick ass melon. But Dennis Paul isn’t the only sick fuck to blame for the deaths of 19 children and 2 of their teachers. Those who do nothing, those who keep voting for these rotten bastards, those who turn their heads and do nothing but offer thoughts and prayers even though they don’t think or pray, are also responsible for those kids whose heads were blown off. They are also responsible for the kids who were crying for their mommies laying in a pool of blood. They are also responsible for those kids who are physically and mentally scarred for life.

We are a mental health state. We are a sick, sick state. God damn us all to hell.

No Place but Texas. Literally.

Texas Republicans are very proud of being #1 in unlimited access to guns. They love their guns and letting anyone dress like GI Joe or a cop with loaded assault weapons, body armor, and silencers. This is who they are.

Texas is #1 in mass shootings overtaking California starting in 2015. In just a month we have had 2 mass shootings, the latest in Allan Texas at a shopping mall leaving 8 dead including a 5 year old boy. Prior to that it was the shooting in Cleveland Texas leaving 5 dead including a 9 year old boy.

Greg Abbott claims the shooting in Allen was an “unspeakable tragedy” which is total bullshit. It was an avoidable tragedy. Abbott doesn’t need to offer thoughts and prayers, instead he should offer an apology to the families of the dead and to the families of the victims that will require care for the rest of their lives. This is Abbott’s fault for not taking action to curb gun violence after the killing of 27 Christians at a church, or the 10 students killed at Santa Fe, or the 21children killed in Uvalde or the 5 immigrants killed in Cleveland.

The death of these folks in Allen Texas is Greg Abbott’s fault and the fault of every goddamn elected official who refuses to take action to curb gun violence.

One of these days we are going to have to ask the very difficult question to our elected officials, straight to their face. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Look, I’ve done my duty and asked my State Representative, Dennis Paul, that question when I met him on the greenbelt walking the dog. It was the first thing out of my mouth, just days after 19 children were slaughtered by an 18 year old with easy access to military weapons, access that Dennis Paul gave him, access that the Republican Party gave him.

On that day they didn’t even offer thoughts and prayers, as if that has worked in the past. So our irresponsible attitude towards gun ownership has taken the lives of 10 Americans in California using, you guessed it, a military style weapon. Although the laws in California are more strict that Texas, which isn’t saying much, the irresponsible, playful attitude towards gun ownership emanates out of Texas where laws are nearly nonexistent.

In Texas anyone can openly carry a military style weapon, dressed like GI Joe, with body armor, high capacity clips, body armor, and hundreds of rounds of armor piercing bullets and our law enforcement can’t do a thing about it. They can’t ask them if they are allowed to have a gun or carry a gun or even own a gun because the law that Dennis Paul championed prohibits it. Someone dressed like a cartel member could walk the sidewalks of Paul’s own street and there is absolutely nothing law enforcement can do because there is nothing illegal about it.

I’ve said it before. This isn’t responsible, conservative, gun ownership. This is just plain stupidity. It is dangerous. Texas and Paul have set a bar for others across the country. It doesn’t make us safer. It doesn’t make it safer for our law enforcement officials. Ask those who were at the Uvalde shooting how safe they felt as they stood in the hall listening to the children crying for their mommies as they were being slaughtered.

The killing continues claiming 10 more in a mass shooting along with many others every single day. So, grow a pair and ask one of two hard question.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with us?
