First Blog... From Comic-con to Beer Summit and Beyond

So, as I sit here and as I consider all that I want to talk about, I find myself having a difficult time finding an actual coherent path to my thoughts. Tack on to that my own hatred for gossip/trash blogs I find myself in a conundrum of sorts. Thus, I will proceed while trying my best not to turn into that which I hate so much, i.e. Perez Hilton. Let me begin by explaining why the name of this blog is Molar's Vent

At the beginning of every week the weekend provides for me a release of pressure, much like the valve to the left. But sometimes by the end of the week stupidity is in full effect and this happens:

Let me begin by speaking about this past weeks events, starting off with last weeks Comic-con in San Diego. As most of us have read or seen(through the luxury of YouTube) Comic-con was a resounding success for all parties involved. Movie Premiers, game trailers, celebrity panels, and scantily clad women dressed up like their favorite characters from just about any genre of game/comic. From the battalion of storm troopers, to the short blond in pig-tails dressed as Cammy, there was no doubt that it showed this current generation's love for the latest incarnation of "art." Needless to say, it gives "nerds", "geeks", and "weirdos" of all types a Mecca to travel to at least once in their life. I have to admit, that I myself and curious about this phenomenon and will be trying to find a way out there over the next couple of years. I loved watching the highlights with actors like Scarlett Johannson, Sam Rockwell, Robert Downey, Jr., and Megan Fox , the credibility of the event continues to increase every year with more and more production studios, movie studios, comic companies participating every year. now you are probably asking, why am I venting? Well I'm not, I'm just extremely jealous that some nerd dressed as young Anakin from Star Wars got to go while I was stuck working!

Now I will move on to a few more fun moments in our lives recently, most importantly being the Beer Summit. Under normal circumstances, I would think that this is a meeting between my friends Nick and Miguel trying to decide who's pancreas works least, I found myself appalled and disgusted by our President Obama's actions. Not because he tried to play mediator, but because to be damn honest, stop playing the damn RACE CARD. First off, from my understanding from reading different articles and such, Professor Henry Louis Gates, acted like a complete jackass when he immediately played the race card on Officer James Crowley. Crowley is a cop doing his job, a man looks to be breaking into a house, and an officer says what are you doing? This was something that should not be an issue, except Obama made it an issue. This is depressing.... Has our country become so scared of hurting someone's feelings that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES has to apologize for a police officer DOING HIS JOB. We all know that being a police officer in this day and age is much different from being one 20 years ago. We live in the age of the law suit, where everyone is looking to "stick it to the man." Most grow up thinking that its our God given right to sue someone. Let me explain why being a police officer is a lose-lose scenario. You are an officer, who is told to report to a department store because there is someone in the bathroom stall for over an hour. You arrive and you bang on the door, the man ignores you, you try talking to the man, he ignores you, you try explaining to him that he's going to be in trouble, he ignores you still. You threaten to use pepper spray, he ignores you, you spray the pepper spray on the floor of the bathroom to show you mean business, he ignores you. What do you do? You go through your mind, back to your training, this is a man who doesn't want to go to jail, be ready for anything, you force open the door with a stun gun in hand ready for anything, only to find the man wielding an umbrella like a weapon, you taser him and arrest him. Under normal circumstances this is no big deal, but the man is deaf and mentally disabled, he was hiding in the bathroom because he though the "demons were going to get him." What happens Now? The Police Department gets sued, you are asked to resign in shame and your family is shamed by an incident that in your mind and the mind of your superiors, was by the book. Tell me why any man would WANT to be police officer. It certainly isn't for incidents like this or the one in which Officer Crowley found himself. It's no surprise that officer's live with a chip on their shoulder all the time. To my friends that are Police officers, i say "Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Next item up for release from the pressure valve, the dropping of the charges against Black Panthers who were intimidating voters. If you haven't heard about this, here's the YouTube link to the news story, Black Panther Security. And here is a second video of the same voting location: Black Panther Security 2

...taken from the washingtontimes.com, "Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, the No. 3 official in the Obama Justice Department, was consulted and ultimately approved a decision in May to reverse course and drop a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party of intimidating voters in Philadelphia during November's election, according to interviews."

First off anyone can see from the videos they weren't there to make sure the old ladies punched the "chad" correctly, and why were charges dropped, that was a private location and being under the roof they technically were not able to "protest" they have to be on public property, so how was this "dismissed?" Oh they don't want it to seem like there was impropriety in it. Okay so it's criminal? Alright, I don't think i need to go on anymore.

Moving away from politics, I find that I am only sane because it occurs to me that stupidity is abundant in the world, and although i may be stupid at times, I'm not "stuck on stupid." Being that this is my first blog, I will begin with this somewhat average length blog, I will be randomly blogging from here on out, maybe once or twice a day, depending on how close to the red line my stupid meter is. Hope you enjoyed this little rant, there will be more interactive ones, with pictures, mazes and maybe even a little coloring section with popups!
