2020 Uprising: Enough is Enough

So I guess if you want to murder someone, kick in their door in the middle of the night and wait for them to draw a gun. You might get B&E, but evidently murder is off the table if they shoot first, even if you go there with that obvious intent.

I am thinking they allowed the charges against the guy who shot through the walls because he also endangered the lives of the other police officers. I bet the residents of the apartment weren’t taken into consideration at all when deciding whether to press charges.

It’s connected in that the Federal Government should be investigating and charging violent far right terrorists instead of encouraging them.

I think more likely people of that ilk will say “Wow, Trump came close to making the country we want, but he botched it.” and start again with Tom Cotton or some other filth. They’ve had too much success this time around to give up.

It won’t, but local races are far more important that the presidency for this particular topic. For example, in Portland, Mayor Ted “milquetoast” Wheeler is down 11 points to his challenger, Sarah Iannarone, who has taken a much tougher stance on defunding the police.

Me watching the current season of Fargo: “Oh man, thank goodness race relations are much better these days in Kansas City.”

Me going to the frontpage of CNN: “Nevermind. I was completely wrong.”
