....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

The Trump tweet that Twitter deleted said, “If they start looting, we’ll start shooting.”

People need to get their emotions under control. The police officer killed George. The police officers don’t care and most Trump supporters are happy. The violence and looting is playing into their hands. Just what they want to use against them.

Perhaps now more than ever we need to reflect on the words of MLK. “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.” This can get out of control.

People who burn down buildings are thugs. Very simple Marianne.

Actually, the shooting started before the looting.
