Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

NO LOOTING
If only legitimate protests did not include looting. How does that honor the death of an innocent victim?
Looting bothers me. The minute anything goes wrong anywhere, the looters come out of the woodwork and start stealing stuff. It's nuts. They'd be the first to complain if they got robbed.
SO sad to see this. It detracts from the cause so much and gives an excuse for retaliation then more innocents are hurt. What sickens me too is seeing Trump using churches for photo opportunities at a time like this. What a hypocrite!
To honor a druggie criminal and destroy property is never a reasonable response, especially when everyday citizens are not allowed to have funeral services. What sickens me is seeing the dems taking a knee and wearing the cloth of the greatest slavers for a photo opp. All Lives Matter!
You could see from newscasts that it wasn’t all African Americans looting. There were a lot of whites there and other opportunists. The looting and rioting needed to be stopped, but not the protesting. We have a right to protest in America.
I had the same thought watching the news last night but if the flame is kept on high for so long the pot is bound to boil over.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with Olga, but I also agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI understand their rage but I get so disappointed when they attack their own community with the fires and looting.
ReplyDeleteI must have missed what happened - but I will go check it out.
ReplyDeleteI've thought that often in the last 50 years. Olga, above, is quite on point.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish that grief and rage found less destructive (and misplaced) ways to be expressed.

ReplyDeleteWhat River said. Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond my comprehension. Blatant, ugly greed....
