Arrest warrants issued for parents who cheered high school graduates

125. I want you to stop what you are doing.

You don't believe that I've shown the amount of outrage that YOU deem appropriate.

You are implying that because I didn't show the amount of outrage that YOU deem appropriate that I am in some way racist or approving of racist behavior.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I do not accept your labeling of me.

Bad behavior at large events is something that a lot of people engage in at times. That doesn't make it right. I have repeatedly said that I don't believe these people should have been arrested for what happened. But I also believe their behavior was not appropriate since the venue that was hosting the event had requested that people not cheer. When you are invited to an event, you accept the terms of that invitation and should abide by the host's requests. That part is simple.

For these people to have been arrested for cheering is outrageous. But no amount of emphasis on that is going to make YOU happy because you have already decided that my degree of outrage doesn't meet your standards.

Well, buddy, you don't get to set the standards.

It's rude and insensitive not to think of ALL of the graduates crossing the stage and giving the same amount of respect to each one (i.e., allowing each name to be heard).

Stop twisting this simple concept into an attempt by YOU to try to make me appear racist.

I will not be replying to any further of your posts. You and I are so far removed from one another that we certainly have nothing to gain by continuing this discussion.
