I suspect hesitant people are remaining silent.

It was a death and a tragedy to the families. It has been made into a racial issue by a lot of folks who should have remained quiet.

I am not a liberal, neither am I a conservative but I tend to the moderate right. I know what I think and I am appalled by what is happening.

I tend toward evaluating things by the scientific method and not leaping into things. There are problems with society that can only be fixed if each takes care of his own to the fullest extent of his ability. We aren't all born with the same ability to think things through, to care for ourselves and to make the best judgments on important issues. Anger is festering and it is a very dangerous thing.

As we age the issue of right and wrong SHOULD become gray a little. We know more, we question what we have been taught and get to the bottom line a little quicker. But we should still try to be fair and encourage independent living in each person in our society. Some of us can't take care of all of us. It just doesn't work, even if we think it is right.
