PARENTAL INTERACTION

Interacting with your children is one of the most difficult task of communication ever given to the responsibility list of a obligated parent without intertwining into a short-tailed lecture.  Oh you might start the conversation with the intentions of being your child’s good buddy to win their inner confidence, but as soon you as hear something troublesome especially when the conversation pertains to sex, booze or drugs suddenly the interaction switches to a full blown lecture of what not to do’s, which will close the communication gap between you and your child, therefore, it is essentially important that the parent should prepare themselves before having the talk with your children or love one by practicing good parental interaction skills...let me give you a good example:

The other day I was coming out of the kidney dialysis room or as I call it the “death chamber” and I was waiting in the lobby for my bus ride when I suddenly heard someone say “Hey homeless” and I was surprised to see my nephew, Matthew, standing there having a friendly chat with our office secretary.  He came to the facility to give me a ride home and as we left the parking lot I asked how he knew the office secretary.  “Oh I went to school with her son.” he said.  He went on and told me that she had the pleasure to meet me when I first came to the facility, which was about two weeks ago, but two dialysis technicians joined our conversation, who I had known since highschool and we suddenly started joking around about our body-parts, (which I find it hard to believe because I would not joke around like that in front of a total stranger) and apparently the secretary felt uncomfortable and walked away.

Upon hearing her story, my nephew laughed and said “Yeah my uncle has no filter.” When I heard this I turned to him with a sour look on my face and said, “Of course I have no filter...fool...that’s why I go to kidney dialysis...so what’s your point!”  

You see...a perfect example of good parental interaction...please make a note of it!

LONE WOLF-cont.

On November 5, 2017 at approximately 11:29 p.m, Fresno Police responded to Southeast Fresno for a family disturbance and  located 25 year old, Michael Cervantes, inside a parked vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance and among other drug paraphernalia charges arrested for illegal possession of a short-barreled assault rifle and two high capacity magazines that can hold approximately 100 rounds.  Cervantes was wearing a tactical vest and had two air-soft pistols in his possession at the time of his incarceration....What was this young man thinking of doing....or about to commit?  Can you imagine the damages he could of done especially in a high traffic area like Venture Street!  I don't know about you, but that is too close to home!

Our country is now in the state of paranoia the only problem is we just don't know it yet, but look around you...there is really no safe haven not unless you plan to camp out in a Police station because everywhere else imaginable have been under attack take for instance, the churches (Texas massacre), the movie theaters (Colorado), the nightclubs (Orlando, Florida), the schools (Columbine), concerts (Las Vegas massacre)...so where can we go...inside a Army tank!  I still remember the days when it was always the mailman going POSTAL...remember that phrase?  Now it seems to be a contagious disease!

Now I want to buy a firearm to keep my family safe because I tell you what...I'm sure in the hell not going to be a sitting duck if some frickin fool freaks out and decides to become a instant martyr for ISIS or some other terrorist group and start rambo-ing the whole frickin neighborhood...no siree not this crippled old fart and I'm sure you feel the same way!  The only problem is that I haven't held a firearm since 2007, but I do know the dangers of crossfire and trigger control...what of the others, who never had a weapon in their hands and let me tell you from experience...drastic mistakes happen from drastic actions where innocent bystanders had been more harmed than the suspect.  So then what is the answer?  Hire more security?  How well trained are they and who can afford them?  Stricter gun control...yeah good-luck with that!  I'm afraid the ways of the old West are coming back...the only difference is that the Cowboys those days only carried single action six-shot revolvers not AR-15's!

DEATH PENALTY FOR LONE WOLF

Should the death penalty be imposed on mass murderers also known as "Lone Wolves" killers, who only distinct difference between the two is the lone wolf claim to have a special cause behind the killing for example as a symbolic representation for terrorist groups like ISIS or the Al-Qaeda.  Unfortunately, these lone wolf attacks are the only effective method that can cause chaos and destruction throughout our great country, which makes it nearly impossible for our defense system to detect and counter attack and has now become a serious epidemic, so the question remains...should our government both on a federal and state level imposed the death penalty on any acts of terrorism as suggested by President Trump regarding the person responsible for the Manhattan massacre in New York?  

Will it stop or at least slow down the bloodshed...or is it too late!
