84. I Really Appreciate These Comments... However, Right Now

Mon Apr 27, 2015, 10:30 PM

Apr 2015

most MSM is STILL talking about things like "a purge" and things of this sort!

Of course, the old saying that "things happen for a reason" comes to my mind. So if these things that are happening will FINALLY open the eyes of people in power then perhaps some good will come out of those who have had their lives "taken" by all this aggressive, hateful action going on by COPS who are supposed to "protect" victims!

I'm so filled with RAGE when all too many people blame the victims, and the showing of videos of bad acts by them when they have nothing to do with the killing! I understand how bad it looks when those who fight back and how it seems to add to what the COPS say about the WHY of what they did!

Is a Revolution brewing? I wonder. I will gladly join, this is no longer a country I recognize and most certainly NOT the way Democracy Looks Like!!!
