Numb. 1255 NOT A Funny One (if any ACTUALLY are)

One person was dead and at least seven people were injured after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded and caught fire outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning, according to the authorities.  New York Times 

 

Here at The BYSTANDER, we abhor violence

no matter how “righteous” your cause.

That is NOT to say we endorse silence

OR the enforcement of repressive laws.


We recall fondly Mahatma Gandhi.

Though he failed, he tried preaching peace

to people unwilling who preferred killing.

Compromise being beyond human reach.


The cumulative failure of each revolution,

suggests our extinction’s the ONLY solution.

About The BYSTANDER

My photo
When young I voted Republican. Democrats? Union goons and Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, I thought it a scam. I was, by default, a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama which led us twice to our present trauma. (Ignoring here Joe Biden's years, which Trump, the disgrace, will erase.) Labor's diminished. Perhaps even finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. A felonious reprobate holds country's fate in grabby hands. Still NOT a Democrat, although I vote like that. An increasingly frail, flailing old man. I proudly am an anti-Republican.
