Right. You don't live in a world where humans are separated from their families, caged and not reunited, because they had the audacity to come here and ask for help. You don't live in a world where simply taking a knee a GAME is just awful, because that person thought more could be done. Or in a world where a simple thing like being arrested results in your death, just because you were being arrested. Or in a world where your door is kicked in, your dog shot, and you shot, simply because maybe drugs. Or a bad GPS. I get it. You don't live in this world, or have to choose between it and your flag. But some do, and they chose.
We live in a world of laws, by necessity. Those laws allow and ensure for all that you now enjoy. If those laws become irrelevant or archaic, they can be changed. But everyone must obey the law, or chaos and catastrophe are certain to ensue, and placing everything and everyone in certain peril. The answer is never to simply ignore or usurp the law, or to support those who do, understanding the dire consequences that such inevitably begs and guarantees to occur. That’s the way our system of government has, will always endure and continue to best work. There will be winners and losers in this, both now and in view of history, and I’m comfortable as to the positions I’ve taken.
I can’t wait for the “Obamagate/Soros/Gates worked with Antifa” conspiracy theories Trump is ‘foreshadowing’ with his lackey Bill Barr.
One of the ways in which law is changed is through force. Thomas Jefferson. Chaos and catastrophe are fleeting. Laws are broken all the time. Some severe, some limited. Society has not crumbled from it. The idea that law is infallible is idiocy, because law is crafted by fallible beings. When those fallible beings become so arrogant as to believe they are infallible, we arrive here.
I don’t think you want to reach back into the Founding Fathers to support your worldview. The law is the will of The People. When you get to a point where you think you or any number of like-minded others think it ok to violate or ignore the law, this is where we are. And it will not end well for Americans who hate America and it’s laws. It never does, and this will be no different.
1. This video is old and has nothing to do with the protests (evidence: https://pluralist.com/isupk-white-couple-kisses-boots-of-black-nationalists/) 2. This is a hate group: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-...lack-hebrew-israelites-becoming-more-militant 3. Those spreading it as having to do with these protests that know better are in themselves stoking racism.
