TNFro Is Reading...MLK Predicted the Riots 50 years ago, WTF Ya'll-RONA Cancelled 2020,Nerd Watching, Reading and Writing,
I pray for understanding, and peace. A week started with another murder of a unarmed black man, caught videotaped and we are now in day 6 of violent fiery protests.
In the week prior to his death, being picketed and jeered by maybe the grandparents of these fools protesting the quarantine, Martin Luther King was very clear
“…it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?…It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.” (“The Other America,” 1968).
Celebrate Law Enforcement Doing the Right Thing...From Lansing to Miami to CA
So I have a crush on Sheriff Swanson, I do dig a man in uniform...
Lansing Sheriff Doing the right thing
The images over the last few hours have been horrific and frightening. But the sight of law enforcement doing the right thing, make me cry and try to find ways that more people need to know
Florida Policemen Doing the Right thing
CA Policemen Doing the Right Thing
Officers like the LAPD expressed the thoughts of other law enforcement that they are not the enemy, there are bad cops, and they need to be punished. But it should not spoil the relationship of law enforcement and the community in general.
A diversion of truly wonderful things happening like the successful launch of Space X on Saturday ushering in a new chapter of the Space Race,
more survivors of RONA, Treatments to block infection and Cytokine storm
416,000 and Counting!!!
Because of the turmoil for the past week, I have added to my WTF Rant
