James Kenneth Embry

James Kenneth Embry had a mental illness. James Kenneth Embry was a drug addict. James Kenneth Embry went to prison for drugs. James Kenneth Embry was denied medication for his mental illness in prison. James Kenneth Embry died of starvation in an American prison.

James Kenneth Embry was a human being. James Kenneth Embry deserved care on the streets of Murka and James Kenneth Embry deserved care in a cage in Murka.

Dammit, Murka. I'd bet $20 that this man took drugs because he had a mental illness. Instead of treating him, we imprison him and then instead of treating him, we kill him.

I don't have really anything else to say, except that we are not even close to the great country on Earth.

Order =/ Action


An Executive Order has the full force of law. It is, essentially, a law. An executive action is something the President does. Like go poo. Or release his To Do List regarding guns. Obama totes did one of those things today. Guess which one? Wait. He probably also went poo. So, two things. ;)

So anyway, if you read his To Do List, it's mostly innocuous stuff and some pretty decent items that folks on all sides of the 2nd Amendment are down with. All in all, it seems as though the release of this list was designed to quell the masses.

His action list is essentially made up of multiple components:

1. Make government agencies gather and share information.
2. Train law enforcement to better handle shooter situations.
3. Educate the public on background checks and gun safety.
4. Work on mental health care in our country.
