If you want to fight crime you reduce poverty. If want to fight crime you make each school in America a palace of learning. If you want to fight crime you eradicate unnecessary human suffering. If you want to fight crime you fight the origins of despair. You do not invade cities.

None of those things are possible in a neighborhood full of crime. You have to get the crime out first.

Watch your home values drop and stay down. This isn't a recession for Chicago and Portland. Witness the death of two cities, provided by blind, ignorant, vote buying people who call themselves Democrat Politicians. May as well be a nuclear bomb. Witness unliveable. Thanks BLM.

A large percentage of your "privileged" people came from poverty, they have been victims of crimes, despair. And they pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps, taking advantage of opportunity afforded the by country, the de one you think of as suffocating. Get YHOYA.

If you want to reduce poverty, build up sovereign nations rather than bombing, overthrowing, sanctioning and starving them. Biden is to the *RIGHT* of Trump when it comes to destroying nations that are not under America's thumb.
US regime-change wars & sanctions have paved the way for China to heavily invest in Latin America and be seen as a core power that actually believes in the region. Where the US left wounds, China repairs damages & strengthens relations in the region. #BRI beltandroad.news/2020/07/16/…

You are confusing long term solutions with short term boundaries. Protest but leave fed. Buildings alone. Wall of moms has a whole city to march in. Why pick the federal building. This is straight from "rules for radicals" playbook. Fyi, I love your books and ACIM.

Failing schools, crime, avoidable human suffering & despair have their substantial origins in frayed social support systems. Good education, low crime, sense of belonging require intact families and coherent belief systems, at the kitchen table.

Oh, but allow them to burn? Where shall these "palaces" be built when there is no city in which to build? #logic is lost on #democrats.

🙏🏾...and maybe for the rich criminals, educated thugs & billionaire looters, we can bring some empathic healing to whatever internal wounds in them prevent seeing each other as fellow members of #TeamHumanity... ...and cause them to project their trauma onto the rest of us💜
