"Indiference is agression."
Many of our fellow Americans are simply indifferent to the lives and needs of others, thus enabling the truly evil to visit aggression on strangers and have it go unpunished and sometimes praised.

Confirmation bias on Social media has hypnotized and desensitized.

This will only end when it happens to them when the leopard eats their face. Until that day, when it becomes REAL to them,
the ignorant will continue to be indifferent, and the aggression will continue unchecked.
