CK has taken over...

I'm having so much fun writing Carli's Kills, I'm neglecting A Place of Safety. However, I'm not sorry for it. Not apologizing. And the reason why is simple.

I'm feeling extremely frustrated over the inaction from our Department of Justice to haul in people who are ignoring Congressional Subpoenas and who plotted to overthrow our government on 1/6. I'm having to avoid social media because every five seconds someone on there is trumpeting THIS IS IT! THE END OF THE GOP AND EVERYONE GOES TO JAIL or some such shit, and then nothing happens.

It's amazing how often the powers that be undermine reality in order to prevent anyone from finding justice. After Bloody Sunday, Westminster was immediately putting out word that the British Paratroopers had been fired upon and the only people shot were those with guns trying to kill them. Bernadette Devlin was seated in Parliament at the moment the lies were being spread by Home Secretary, Reginald Spaulding, and finally had enough. She stormed over and slapped the bastard.

Of course a brawl broke out and she was attacked by the British Press for being unladylike. Her response. "I'm only sorry I didn't hit him harder."

Read about it here. It's a slanted version and not 100% accurate -- the Bloody Sunday march was specifically against Internment -- but right now I feel that's fine. The image is of Edward Daly, who was wounded at Bloody Sunday. The people trying to carry him to someplace he could be cared for were fired upon by Paratroopers; I think the man leading them with the white flag was a priest.

We need some of Devlin's decisive action in Congress, right now. We have mentally unstable people in there...people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar actually threatening others with violence...and nothing is being done to stop them. They are not being held accountable by Pelosi; she's only spouting a lot of words. Nor will this change before those two actually kill someone.

In order for there to be justice, there has to be a willingness to enforce the laws and the rules, and too much of our government is built on the buddy system. I know you and don't think you're a bad person, so we'll just minimize the fact that you threatened to kill a fellow representative or run around with weapons, suggesting you can kill someone.

Three white men are being tried in Georgia for murdering a black man, by an all-white jury, and the probability is they will get off. In Wisconsin, the prosecution is letting a clearly biased judge help the defense of a teenage boy who murdered two men and wounded another during a BLM protest, because the dead men weren't the right kind of guys. Cops get this all the time. So you shot him 47 times in the back? It was self-defense. 

It's like that all over the country, and has been for decades...and it's maddening. So I'm stepping back and working on an erotic-horror-thriller about a woman taking revenge on the men who drove her daughter to suicide since the system of justice won't. And it is getting brutal.

But facing APoS right now is like facing my own country, and I'm tired.
