I have always said that America is the most violent civilized place on the planet. That was confirmed recently when I started on my 24 hour 7 days a week History channel binge last weekend. Now I am convinced that there isnt a more violent, socially crude human being to walk the earth than an American, white male born in North America from 1820 1900.
I think I have the stats to prove it.
During this period, such American trademarks were established such as the drunk and angry lynch mob, the tar and feather, and the lets chop up the little Indian women and children into little pieces so Crazy Horse can find them and get pissed off were perfected.
The Klu Klux Klan were founded and thrived.
He dropped bombs, I mean actual bombs on the "Greenwood District"-- a Black community in Tulsa Oklahoma, which had become nationally renowned as "The Black Wall Street of America," where wealthy blacks who lived within an isolated society with its own theaters, banks and libraries. All in all he destroyed 21 churches, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores and two movie theaters, plus a hospital, a bank, a post office, libraries, schools, law offices, a half dozen private airplanes and even a bus system.
Simply because seeing Negroes run thriving businesses, well, pissed him off.
Virtually all the American Buffalo were wiped off the face of the planet from these men shooting them from passing trains simply because it was the staple of the native American diet, and because they were easy to hit because they didnt move much.
Things that man did to others as well as others like himself didnt even give him bad dreams in 1872, but by 1972, if he did those same things to the Communist North Vietnamese during a certified war, he came back home with a fairly common, however largely untreatable catatonia.
Well one might wonder why I would say something like the most violent civilized place on the planet. Civilized only in the sense that the majority of our lives are spent seeking entertainment rather than competing for food and shelter with the same animals that now end up on our plates. You see, you know that we live in dangerous times when a mother cheering her son on as he slides home with the game winning run in his championship little league game gets jumped in the parking lot while she talked on her cell phone by two otherwise, law abiding June Cleaver types. Supporting ones child in a little league baseball game ended up getting her face beat in with a baby stroller.
Apparently, Cindy Morrison of Salt Lake, Utah, was taken to the hospital completely unconscious from an asswhopping she received from two angry mothers of kids that were on the losing side when her son scored the winning run to win the championship in a stunning come from behind victory.
As she spoke on the phone they snuck up behind her, one poked her in the back with the end of the umbrella to get her attention and as she turned around she was struck cleanly the head with a baby stroller. Apparently witness say the assaulting mother had a perfect swing and really got her legs into it.
Morrison was unconscious when police arrived and was taken to LDS Hospital with scratches on her shoulder and back, bruises on her arms and puffiness around both eyes.
One woman was released on bail Sunday but will likely be charged later this week. She said she did not start the fight. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that the police were still looking for the other woman who allegedly assaulted Morrison at the time of this article.
