Who can this country turn to in dark times, uncertain times, times of unrest, for cogent, well-formulated common-sense solutions and the inspiration to achieve them? Michael Moore, of course, as illustrated by the five-tweet rant that will save America.

Imprison u, shoot u, sever your spine, crush your larynx, send u to war, keep u poor, call u a thug, not let u vote. But u can sing for us.

Here's my demand: I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug "crimes" or nonviolent offenses released from prison today.

And the rest who r imprisoned- I dont believe 50% of them did what they're accused of. Lies. Greed. A modern day slave system. Poor whites 2

Next demand: Disarm the police. We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We'll survive til the right cops r hired

Local cops now militarized. Founding Fathers said NO army policing on our soil. Why do cops have tanks? Oh, right – the Enemy: The Black Man

First, from what position of authority does he make demands? Is he a leader of a movement of some kind? Does he have some kind of leverage I don’t know about? Is he holding someone hostage? Second, as Radley Balko points out, it seems an odd demand that only African-American nonviolent offenders be released. If one feels it’s a moral affront to imprison nonviolent drug offenders—and a surprising number of Americans, even in reddest Texas, do—why just release one race of offenders?

I do like that this rant hinges on a surprise semi-endorsement of 2nd-Amendment and self-defense from the maker of “Bowling for Columbine.” He’s got a point, there. The citizenry of this country is admirably well-armed, making one of his “demands” more possible. No thanks to him.
