Episode Details
Back to EpisodesS4 E:2 The Violence/Gun Epidemic hits RI, again.
Description
Another mass shooting occurs in RI while our political system continues to dole out empty thoughts a prayers. I intentionally did not use the name of the shooter in the podcast, because I believe in taking away the identity of people who engage in atrocities. As a society we have made murder porn and crime shows our bread and butter. This is part of the PTSD epidemic.
Since we recorded this episode the United States of Israel launched an attack on Iran. Whether this is about cash, a distraction from the Epstein Files, or just out of the leadership sociopathy, this is unacceptable. Please do whatever you can to help stop the spread of fascism.
