Common Courtesy

Today we open the can and let out the junk in America. I am sending a plea to stop the craziness, microaggression, and conflict inciting behaviors.  People are attacking strangers, blocking cars with their bodies, automobiles, and in one unbelievable case, with her grandchild in a stroller. Others are accosting strangers for no apparent reason other than the color of their skin. 

Some of the attacks are violent. People are throwing things, spitting on people, hitting toddlers, and kids. One man on an airplane slapped a stranger’s toddler. We are reaching new lows.

We need to approach the people that we know who are perpetrating these crimes and help them understand that these are not good or healthy behaviors. It's exhausting, stressful, and it's too much for a ”civilized society.” 

 

Corrections: the children aged 12 & 17 who were handcuffed were in Colorado and it's different that the parents handcuffed and treated over the dollar store doll incident in Phoenix. The firefighter who spit on toddler was in Kansas City, he was reinstated.
