New, Bill will still sleep around.......
I don't think I was. My point was ignore the spark, look at the fire. Still holds true. My initial impression was that Ferguson and Bundy Ranch had more similarities than differences. Both sparked by outright distortion of the facts by or on behalf of the "victims." The blacks rioted, the whites drove hundreds of miles and pointed loaded weapons at officers in a "show down." The only thing that kept the whites from "rioting" at Bundy Ranch, is there is nothing to destroy out there. The only thing that kept them alive was the police stood down. The Ferguson report of 2015 resulted in termination of multiple officers and the resignation of the Chief. Clearly, while Brown's death was justified, the underlying issue, and the "fire" had some merit. There are multiple departments under consent decree. That is problematic. Some of the findings of that report are remarkable. Police are the first line of government. When we have issues with police, we clearly have issues with government. You can be angry all you want at the "protesters / rioters" but what they exposed should concern you a great deal. On the current "Black Lives Matter" protests at various colleges, the spark is not all about Brown. Brown alone cannot sustain that fire. Some of it is just pure crap. Some of it is very scary such as the speech issues. Look at the fire. Large groups of people are so disenfranchised that they are "protesting." We can dismiss it all day long as "pure crap" but we would be better served to see it for what it is. A crack. A few years from now folks will be saying "How did we miss the signs?" The schisms in this country are growing - daily.
WE? WE,elected him?? YOU might have but I'm not a part of the WE you mention.................
Yes "We" One nation under God. So yes we. Are you part of the "WE"?
Sorry but that's BS. Yes ,we are one nation. We are not however bound to be of one mind.
