(11,720 posts)Is to express frustration at the apathy and complete lack of urgency in this country. It wasn't just the shooting of Good. They shot two more people the very next day. It also wasnt the first time they shot people. Also not the first people they killed. Several have died in custody.
Some, including US citizens, have been held in secret, no charges, being left handcuffed to a bed in a hospital for weeks
My point is that they have declared war on us and we are still admonishing people to be kind and polite and not raise their voices, all while they are beating us will clubs and choking us with chemical gas.
The EU and other former allies have literally threatened war if we try to invade places like Greenland or Mexico or Canada or Colombia.
We are closer to WWIII then at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis and I grew up during the Cold War.
Yes, there are protests but they are small by any measure.
France had hundreds of thousands of people on the streets to protest, literally burning stuff down, because of a small increase in the retirement age.
My point is that we are facing a very serious situation but most people, not all, appear to be more worried about protestors than what they are protesting.
