That is absolutely tragic. It just shows how vulnerable people can be so easily swayed by evil, smooth talking people. It isn't wrong to want bread on every table but, of course, the people voting for "bread" were not also voting for mass genocide. The bread was just the offering used to buy their vote.
We've seen charismatic evil incite riots, devastation and destruction in cities. Once vibrant communities have been turned into smoldering dumps overnight. And for what? Who has benefited from this chaos? Those residents are going to be looking at and living with that mess for a long time. It's sad.
Now these "leaders" want to defund the police? A 3 year old got shot in his car seat and a 4 year old got shot through his bedroom window while he slept in bed.
All I can say is be careful who you align yourself with. And when something does not make sense - question it. Just because a "leader" or an "expert" says it doesn't mean that it is right or good for you. If this was good and right so many people would not be getting hurt.
