Washington DC, Saturday March 24, 2018. Hundreds of thousands gathered here today to protest the ever more frequent gun massacres that have sadly become one of the defining features of life in the USA over the past thirty years. The shootings have evolved into increasingly more deadly events because of the ease of obtaining semi-automatic rifles, high capacity ammo magazines and other weapons of war. Organizations like the National Rifle Associations have successfully bribed our national legislators to beat back most attempts to enact sane gun laws that would ban civilian sales of these military munitions. In the wake of the Parkland, Florida high school mass shooting a youth led movement* has become energized and is pushing back against the gun lobby status quo and, it has to be noted, against the entire immoral agenda of Trumpism and 21st Century Republicanism. President Trump spent today at his golf resort in Mar a Lago, Florida. Again.
Yes, there was a very small number of pro-gun rights activists on the streets in DC today.
*There has been an active black led movement against gun violence and other forms of vigilante and police violence in America for many decades but it has been ignored or unfairly reported on by corporate media and actively harassed by police wherever it appeared. The most recent example is the Black Lives Matter movement.

Logline: Political polar opposites, a theme-park designer in Orlando and a Beverly Hills attorney try to keep a black 14-year-old out of adult prison for his self-defense shooting of a Proud Boy.
Book description
With the success of their first theme park in Southern California, the giant conservative media company Dextra Media begins creating a second park, located in Orlando, FL.
One of the lead designers of the park, Leith, is a workaholic and mostly stays submerged in designing his area of the park with his team of designers. His workaholism is so serious that it was responsible for the breakup of his marriage a few years ago. He's started dating again, a woman named Erin whom he met while working on the California park. She is as politically liberal as Leith is conservative, and Leith wonders how a bipartisan relationship like theirs can work. He frequently encounters her different views on current issues and tries to understand how she can hold the views she does. She is a successful attorney who has developed the skill of unobtrusively leading a jury to change their minds on a topic, and on occasion Leith finds himself drifting from conservative red on the right, starboard, to an independent purple in the middle, in spite of his resistance.
A large group of politically conservative investors periodically convene to approve developments in the park as it progresses. When it becomes known that in the design team are a closeted gay man, an otherwise conservative young woman who is staunchly pro-choice, and a design lead dating a liberal, the investors apply pressure on the studio head, Dex, to root out the liberal influence in his design team, on occasion threatening to pull out of the project.
Dex's vision for the new park is for it to appeal to as wide a demographic as the Universal and Disney parks do. As a result, some aspects of the parks are more liberal than one would expect from a conservative media studio. One of the themed lands of the park is based on Mombasa, Kenya. Another land, based on 18th-century Boston, presents a truthful portrayal of slavery in that era. The Orlando branch of a white nationalist group begins vandalizing those parts of the park, and as time passes the vandalism escalates.
A black family becomes friendly with Leith and Erin because they assume that Leith is as liberal as Erin. Their young son, Jake, is almost killed by a stray gunshot when a race-related fight breaks out near him late at night in downtown Orlando. He recovers from the gunshot wound, but the experience subtly affects his personality and view of the world.
You've heard of "gun porn" and "torture porn." This is "gun torture porn." In the wake of Katrina the New Orleans PD illegally confiscated many firearms, and left them to rust and worse.
