I think I'd best take a break from posting. I have watched the videos of the 17 year old

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by applegrove (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

shooter in Kenosha and I have read extensive accounts of the Kenosha PD's effing COMPLICITY in the anti-protester attacks. I am too pissed to post without getting down in the gutter with the thugs responsible for so much pain---some with badges; some without.

Later.

1. I understand. And then to hear that officer blame the victims for their deaths was just too much.

2. Why keep it in? Sheriffs, cops, national guard and white militias against protesters, it's obvious.

He'll be tried as an adult. He may be from Illinois, but he'll be tried in Wisconsin. Good luck in prison, kid. You'll be a real hero there.

it feels. Please stay with us, we are all in this together. We will get through this; I think of all the protester's and wish I were young and able to be out there with them. They protest day and night for a better and a safer life. When I become discouraged, I think of them and that helps me put things in prospective. BUT, I worry that it could get so much more violent because of Trump sending in all his henchmen!
