“There’s disconnect in America ,” lamented Fat Guy.
“Disconnection.”
“Right,” said
Jack Bronstein. “Like, when you don’t pay your phone bill. Right?”
Fatty answered,
“No. I mean, the way some Americans rot, while the big shots sit there and pamper
themselves. There’s no compassion!”
Jack nodded, “I
see what you mean. Are you familiar with the name George Zimmerman, Fatty?”
Fatty raised an
eyebrow.
Jack said,
“Zimmerman wanted to be a policeman. It seems that he shot and killed a man
named Trayvon Martin back in February of this year.”
“Why?” asked
Fatty.
Jack answered, “Zimmerman
claims he was defending himself. But eyewitness accounts say otherwise.”
“See?” sighed
Fatty. “No compassion.”
Jack agreed, “If
you have no compassion for people, of course you’ll attack a stranger.”
Fatty shook his
head woefully.
Jack concluded,
“It’s happening everywhere. In a land without compassion, people smile upon
murder.”
