meddling

grey-eyed Athena
drove a  spear into Ares
each got yellow cards

mealy-mouthed

"bothsiderism"
Trump wants to blame "many sides"
when brownshirts attack

bad math

Trump's great strategy
bombing the shit out of them
makes more Jihadis

bias

somehow, a rampage
isn't called "terrorism"
if the perp is White

no fix

Rahm Emanuel
underwrites cops' violence
but won't prosecute

sinat chinam

pious hypocrites

keep the Fast of Gedaliah
but murdered Rabin

incitement

Amos Guiora
find Brandenburg test too strict
wants HateSpeech reined in

cannot say our hands are clean

never to forget
Rabin's assassination
Tzom Gedaliah

again

new sicarii
view Israelis as Romans
provoke the legions

for naught

Peres dropped the ball
backlash from Rabin's murder
should have advanced peace

no accident

Biden acknowledged
"dysfunction in Washington"
permits mass shootings

impunity

criminal assault
by a police officer's
same as by Joe Blow

spectateurs

French rail passengers
rescued by those brutish Yanks
never left their seats

unprosecuted

unreconstructed
Jakarta's right-wing deathsquads
thrive in the shadows

nasty, brutish and short

privatizing force
Florida's Stand Your Ground law
guts Leviathan

institutionalized

Gardena police
abetting after-the-fact
reward killer cops

now it's a party

el Chapo Guzman
put Trump's ass on his hitlist
big pink piñata

catharsis

who needs the candy?
whacking a Trump piñata
spews out dopamine

quis custodiet II

Baltimore's police
under the DOJ's gaze
learn about karma

home to roost

Martin O'Malley's
campaign died with Freddie Gray
in that police van
