When people have tried peaceful protests over these murders and their voices are not listened to, the top will blow off the pressure cooker. People of color are so mistreated in this country, if you think not then you have blinders on your eyes and plugs in your ears. I know very well a black Federal Judge, he is frequently stopped for no reason other than BBWD - being black while driving. He produces his Federal identification and all of a sudden the attitude changes, "Oh, sorry sir, we heard of crime involving a similar car . . . ", etc. He is fortunate because of his position, but I can only imagine what it would be without it, too many aggressive, power hungry, hate-filled people in this world.

I have heard this over and over "we are tired, mad and upset" about what is going so that gives us the right to do what we want to do. Following that logic when you get mad and upset you have the right to burn down your neighbors house, beat up the kid that called you a poopy head, shoot the guy that ran the red light and almost hit you. If you in any way condone or "understand" violence and destruction of property you are part of the problem. If it is a few "outsiders" causing the problems, why do the thousands of non outsiders not stop them or use the wonderful phones they all have to take pictures and turn them over to police.
