I gotta divide my emotions into wrong and right
Guns don't kill people, say people with guns who express violent revenge fantasies whenever they read about crimes.
Newsday.com - Report: Tarot Card Found at Sniper Attack SiteA sniper terrorizing the Washington suburbs reportedly left behind a Tarot card with the words, "Dear policeman, I am God," near a bullet casing outside the school where a 13-year-old boy was critically wounded.
[. . .] The taunting message, first reported Tuesday night on WUSA-TV, was left on a Tarot card known as the Death card. Unidentified sources cited by The Washington Post confirmed the report.
Tarot cards kill people. Or the sorts of people who have them kill people.
Wouldn't The Tower have been more appropriate? Or does expressing even that incredibly superficial level of interest make me suspect?
Probably from one of those tacky Rider sets, too. And I imagine the television news shows will do lurid, ill-informed stories about this, showing images from badly-illustrated. . .
It's in poor taste to complain about this sort of thing when someone is wandering around randomly shooting people, of course. But I get the feeling that this angle is going to be picked up on, rather than the more obvious one.
Because guns don't kill people.
