72 Hours in America

A very powerful home page on CNN this morning:



https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/28/us/72-hours-of-hate-in-america/index.html

72 hours in America: Three hate-filled crimes. Three hate-filled suspects.

(CNN)Consider the past week in America.

Wednesday, a white man with a history of violence shot and killed two African-Americans, seemingly at random, at a Kentucky Kroger store following a failed attempt to barge into a black church.

After mail bombs were being sent to people who'd been criticized by the President, a suspect was arrested Friday -- a man who had railed against Democrats and minorities with hate-filled messages online.

And Saturday morning, a man shouting anti-Semitic slurs opened fire at a Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11 people attending Jewish services.

Those three incidents in 72 hours shared one thing: hate.

"It's a terrible, terrible thing what's going on with hate in our country and frankly all over the world," President Donald Trump told reporters Saturday before boarding Air Force One for a flight to a political rally in Indiana.

with everything we need, including police and medical a quick call away if anything went wrong.

People receptive to all the discontent being spoon fed them need to look around and realize all we have. And that it could all be lost.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that any of us could be the person sitting hopelessly by a roadside with no safe place left to go that we see in footage from other countries. It could happen here, or to any part of here.
