The One With Good Trouble

1: The Kenosha police deputized the people calling themselves the Kenosha Guard the moment they said "Appreciate y'all being out here" What they should have said was "GO HOME. We don't want you to get hurt and we don't want you to hurt anyone." They didn't and people are hurt and people are dead.

 

2: I don't know how we move forward in any meaningful way. I know that real progress is only going to occur when people on both sides of an issue make an earnest effort to understand the others POV. I don't know how we get to a point where that can happen.

 

3: For the Law and Order crowd out there that has been calling for an end to lawlessness, where you at? There was an armed militia taking the law into their own hands dispensing justice as they saw fit. You're either against lawlessness wholesale or not at all. It can't just be when it serves you and your worldview.

 

4: Stick to sports is dead. It really grosses me out when I hear people say shit like, they just need to do their job and not bring politics into the game. Entertain me peasant. Athletes are real people, that make real sacrifices to provide an escape for all of us. They're voices deserve to be heard as much as the next person.

 

5: To quote Bilbo Baggins "I feel like butter scraped over too much bread." There's so much going on. There's so much to care about. It can really drag you down but we all have to do our absolute best to not let ourselves become desensitized and apathetic.
