21. What would you suggest as an alternative?

Aug 2017

A woman is dead, two police officers are dead, and dozens of people are wounded, some in critical condition.

How should we as a nation respond? It seems to me that a reasonable first step is to identify the people who perpetrated this horrific violence.

They're not going to stop if we ignore them. Listen to what they're saying. They want to take over the country.

I want to know who they are. They marched openly. They didn't cover their faces. They wore t-shirts quoting Hitler. They carried shields with Nazi symbols. They have websites.

They killed and hurt my sisters and brothers. They claimed to do this in my name. I'm white. I want these people identified and prosecuted and shunned.
