1/ For years many of us said, “We’ve got to change this guys, or the country is going to blow. People will only take oppression for so long.”Unheeded, the warning went unheard. We’re past containment now; things have blown up, as anyone really looking would have predicted.

2/ As with any crisis it’s never just about one thing. This isn’t just about George Floyd. It’s also about thousands of others who preceded him, who got no justice and received no mercy. America needs to fall to its knees now, to apologize, to pay reparations, to commit to change

3/ And no Mr. President those who protest are not thugs. To protest is their Constitutional right. They’re doing all that has been left for them to do. It is America that has failed them & not the other way around. Should they be peaceful? YES! And so should you be. So should you

Even the most conservative of us doesn't dispute what happened in Minneapolis. The system will work. There is Nothing you can say to excuse the violence, destruction, and stealing. They were criminal acts. It was a riot, not a protest.

Could you argue that at this point there’s a formula to manufacture all of this? It’s an even scarier prospect.😐

It seems our country goes through this now and then. Rebember Baltimore, the LA riots? Why do they have to riot and steal? Why does it happen only in cities with democrats in charge? Why is it?

Kaepernick peacefully protested at tremendous personal cost and was largely vilified. Now that the lid has been blown off, it is time to ensure that liberty and justice for all is no longer the empty promise it has been for the past 244 years
