Susan Hendricks, mindless people on TV.

You can also identify a lot of them...from their empty protestations of being labeled such.

And yet you live here. Because you moved here for the golf. You protest... call out... everyone for their views. In fact, you point to people who you golf with that have negative views. And... yet... you live here. Because you moved here for the golf.

Thank you (and a bunch of your little, like-minded gang above)...for proving my point.

As long as we IGNORE that kind of thing, and look for our old demons, we are playing the game just like they want us to.

As serious and as bad as the looting is, we should look for the cause as we punish those responsible, we need to find out what is the spark and we simply do not seem capable of doing that. We KNOW what it is.....it has been proven over time yet we ignore it.

The Times article I reference is not new news......it is simply ignored news and it is not what is called fake hearings in both the House AND the Senate establish this fact, yet we choose to ignore it and simply go on with our usual demons, which is how we have been "programmed"

Obviously you are in that camp, as reading your new posts on another thread, you find it better to mock and jeer instead of face our problem.
I watch the animal planet on tv everyday -- and they consistently say -- you can take the animals out of the jungle -- but you cannot take the jungle out of the animals
I feel like I am NOW LIVING IN ANIMAL PLANET -- and that is my real feelings which I am entitled to have -- so no comments from the peanut gallery are necessary

Yes. But these "protests", I mean riots, have nothing to do with police brutality. That is simply an excuse to party, steal, and finding a lawyer with no ethical standards to steal money though the courts. .

It is great to see that you have the answer. How do you know it would work? We have laws in this country that don't only apply to the bad guys.

Protest march at 4pm yesterday in our small town of Kilmarnock, 60 miles from Richmond. Scary for our local farmers and watermen.

Town closed all businesses at 11 am for this. The town has been closed for 2 months because of the virus now shut down for this. So far no damage, but why disrupt a quiet town.

Thank you protestors. You have provided a massive test as to whether or not covid prevention measures are effective or not. We can just wait to see if infection rates peak among those involved in the protests and related activities. There was definitely no social distancing and many were not wearing masks.if there is no peak, we should dispense with all the silliness and just unlock completely.

I had two removed a couple of days ago.
