A cop got murdered by one of these domestic terrorists yesterday. Weird, I thought they believed Blue Lives Matter? Guess it was just a bunch of bullcrap to justify their white supremacy.
That attitude is not helpful. I noticed on tv a lot of diversity in the crowd. They appeared to be working class, probably had their good job offshored a few years ago.

Where was this sentiment and anger when this man was murdered last summer? Were these not domestic terrorists also? Or was it the action of the few that should not demonize a whole group? Both incidents and the subsequent collateral injury and deaths were abhorrent, but there is no room or privilege for the self-righteous rhetoric presently coming from either party.

Some folks were silent or simply said we need to look at the deeper issue, the "root cause". They said leaders were not "hearing" the grievances and thus, tried to justify the events that transpired last summer through the lens of this frustration. Is that different than what some on the otherside are saying now? In my opinion, there is NO justification of what happened this week or this past summer. If I'm not mistaken, both examples are the antithesis of what Dr. King stood for, even as he was sacrificing so much in regards to the very root cause of some very ingrained grievances. But let's not pretend either side has sound ground to stand on here, and I include ALL media, when it comes to the social unrest we are witnessing. Maybe it was "white supremacy". I haven't heard that and would be interested where the basis for that application came from. I would assert that position, short of proof, is one with little traction toward reconciliation, and quite contrary to any future uniting the country presently needs if only speculation and conjecture.
