In These Times Of A Police State Run Amok I Bring You Terror Threat Pink!

[DistressedAmerican]

This is an animated version of one of the earliest anti-Bush photoshops I ever did. I have been thinking about it quite a bit lately. It seemed particularly relevant in the wake of the shooting of an unarmed and innocent Brazilian by London police.

This was supposed to be a humorous expression of the exaggerated response our country has experienced to the events of 9/11. We see threats where they do not exist (like harmless protesters for example) while remaining blind to the real ones that face us.

Sadly, it is a bit all too real these days.

The police in London are shooting innocent people, and England wants even tougher "Anti-Terror Laws". We have just renewed the Patriot Act. Our liberty is being more and more restricted each and every day. All in the name of OUR security.

There is no one more secure than a prisoner. We are all living in Justice Department protective custody. God forbid you should try to get within shouting distance of the POTUS at an event!

Meanwhile, Osama Laughs somewhere in the world.

What we need are rational thought and logical plannng not more misdirected overreaction. Our soldiers dying in Iraq have learned that lesson the hard way.

The protester (my wife thinks a guy in drag. I'm not sure) in this came from an anti war demonstration in England. She was just too damn cute not to make it into one of my graphics.

Any Thoughts? Comments Welcome!

So here you have it, TERROR THREAT PINK.
