Admit it, the shooter panicked when seeing a 135 pound or whatever woman try to open a well barricaded door. There was no mention of a warning being given. For God sakes, the shooter was behind a barricaded door and only one unarmed person seemed active at that point in time.
How do you feel about this woman getting shot? Do you consider this to be a justifiable shooting? If so, should the same standard be applied to other protestors, including rioters throwing Molotov Cocktails, tearing down statues, occupying and vandalizing courthouses? How about when protesters cause an physical injury to another party? Mass looting anyone?
I’m fine with equal under the law, if it is applied equally by law enforcement, the courts, and in media portrayals. Then again, at some point, when does Government action to protect itself exceed its Constitutional authority as envisioned by our Forefathers? In other words, at what point are people merely exercising their right to form a new Government based on the continued failings of the present Government? Think spontaneous mass recall of politicians the people have lost confidence in.
The words of Abraham Lincoln to honour the soldiers that sacrificed their lives in order “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.
Kind of an ironic quote when considering Ashli Babbitt, isn’t it?
For decades our Government has become a self serving club where politicians most often become millionaires off taxpayers, while not being representative to the people, instead catering to special interests, such as corporate and even foreign lobbyists. Democrat and Republican voters both feel this way. How about you?
Seems to me, it is high time for our politicians remember who they are working for. Transparency is not a some of the time thing. Transparency is not when it is a convenient thing. Transparency is an all the time thing, especially considering elections. The media and most of our politicians have failed mightily in this regard, judging by recent actions.
We are better off reframing our outlook from anybody but Trump or anybody but a Democrat to a more constructive view, such as holding our Government accountable for their non-representation for all of us, instead of blaming each other. For example, look at our ever dwindling rights and privacy, as well as increasing tax burden, even if this tax burden is hidden through fees, fines, and inflation. Government did not get to its present size by accident, by the way. It took a complicit media, corporations, and corrupt politicians. These corrupt entities did not disappear when Trump came on the scene, right? Yes, corrupt entities are still here and are trying to eliminate their last roadblock, Trump, from reforming our system. Ok, Trump has plenty of his own issues, but his key shining attribute is he cares, or at least seems to care about the well being of the United States and its people. That attribute alone make him more qualified to lead us than any other politician, or media talking head for that matter. Seriously try to think about the last few points.
Our Government needs to become more representative.
One way or another.
