I see the death as needless. If the kid would have simply gone home and not tried to prove what a ‘man’ he was, he would be alive still screwing up today.
I can’t actually call it a tragedy, but I understand what you mean. For me it’s a national disgrace that so many people would perceive this to be a matter of race, and not one of law and order.
You may offend me, but I can’t use lethal force against you unless you are trying to kill me. This is a pretty simple concept. Not grasping that on a personal level is just sad, but when it expands out across large portion of a racial demographic and is politicized as this has been, it’s a national disgrace.
The hoodie at the Smithsonian? The big lie of our morally bankrupt national disgrace is about to be ensconced into the fabric of our nation.
Some folks in our nation who will go un-named, should be hanging their heads in shame. They should be embarrassed to have shown the world how utterly clueless they are. This has set back how much a person can respect a whole group of people.
I find that very troubling.
“The hoodie at the Smithsonian? The big lie of our morally bankrupt national disgrace is about to be ensconced into the fabric of our nation.”
I agree with your eloquent statement.
