Same Circus, Different Clowns!

Same circus, different clowns!

At a news conference today in IL, NIU officials talked interminably about the campus shooting incident yesterday and spent virtually every available second of air time repeatedly justifying themselves and the wonderful "Emergency Plan" they had in effect. This is, of course, the "Plan" that saved no lives and had no effect on the outcome! NIU is, or course, yet another "Gun-Free Zone!"

As is the usual case, police arrived on the scene as fast as humanly possible. The incident was long-since over, ending when the lone perpetrator fatally shot himself, after shooting a number of unarmed and defenseless university students and faculty in a campus auditorium. Police never confronted the VCA, never fired a shot.

On network news, we were then treated to a parade of driveling "experts" who talked about the deceased perpetrator (that, of course, none of them had ever met) and predictably cited all the usual suspects: "He played violent video games," "He was a loner," "His mother didn't breast-feed him as a child," " His underwear were too tight," ad nauseam.

The ultimate outcome is easy to predict: Campus officials will scurry about in an effort to appear as if they're actually accomplishing something. No one will lose their job. Nothing will change. And, a week from now, the campus will be functioning normally, as if nothing had happened. And, thenext armed VCA will encounter no more difficulty than did the last one!

Nothing is so difficult to see as the obvious, particularly when it flies in the face of Leftist dogma that dominates virtually all college campuses and that can never be questioned! More cameras, more reams of "plans," more " prayer-assemblies," and more hand-wringing will accomplish nothing,any more than the last layer did, save providing employment for a few more, erstwhile unemployed, bureaucrats.

So long as Americans are taught, from birth, that "being a good and cooperative victim" is their ultimate civic duty, and that they must never even think of individual initiative or (Heaven forbid!) using force to defend themselves, we'll continue to be awash in victims, and all the "plans" in the world will avail us nothing Helpless, defenseless sheep will never derive effective protection from well-meaning, but clueless, "shepherds," who ultimately regard sheep as expendable anyway!

Accordingly, as Americans, we must maintain our own personal, individual state of readiness, no matter where we are. This decision is yours, and your life depends on it! Risk attaches to maintaining a reasonable state of readiness, but, as we see from recent events, it pales in comparison to being unprepared.

As this incident so poignantly illustrates, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. Be ready!
