AN ANGRY, DANGEROUS MAN
Attacks the World from his Supreme Court Seat

July 5, 2022 -Durt Fibo

In 2013, Highland Park, Illinois, banned assault rifles like the one used in yesterday’s mass shooting. The ban was of course opposed in court cases until eventually ending up in the US Supreme Court. Although they declined to hear the case –thus allowing the ban upheld by a lower court to stand– Clarence Thomas wrote an angry dissent, passing off any potential danger from what he called “modern sporting rifles”. A doctor at yesterday’s shooting described the effects of such ‘modern sporting rifles’ as “wartime” injuries, saying: “The people who were gone were blown up by that gunfire, blown up.” The doctor, David Baum, said one person’s body was “eviscerated” and one person had an “unspeakable” head injury. “What I saw was just families’ lives forever changed because they were walking down with their kids and their scooters and somebody who shouldn’t have had access to a high-powered rifle got up on a rooftop and decided to do what he wanted to do.”
