Hey look I know this whole condemning white supremacy/nazism is the current “stick to the wall” item for the week but did anybody notice during all this that the leader of the Proud Boys is a black/Latino?

if you understood me a while back you wouldn't think you are paraphrasing me. Why you think I'm wrong to keep heightened emotion from our system of justice is bewildering to me.

now, if these reprobates commit crimes, I would still insist on proper use of our system of justice.
And as undigestible as the thought might be, even a "not guilty" verdict protects both of us...

Frank,
Never said “heighten emotion” should be the basis for which justice is distributed. People started fires on purpose, burned people to death, cost untold millions (probably billions when you work in the environmental impacts). There is no redeeming value in that person. For me, a bullet makes sense. You saw it differently. Admittedly, you took the high ground.

Now it’s about dog whistles, white supremists/nazis and anti-semites. I’m only asking, are you still good with that same measuring stick? Instead of 33 fire victims, it becomes 33 gun fire victims. Still calmly line up a jury of their peers, right?

Multiply that by 10 real bad apples; now you are at 333 gunfire victims. 100 = 3,333.

You’re still good with simple orderly trials? So be it.

The country is better off without either Antifa or the PB.

Basic math of addition by subtraction.

At the end of the day, with social media working like the devil to get everybody into two camps (like Democrats & Republicans) or Antifa & Proud Boys, it all seems to just be a matter of time.

I’ll be on the sidelines. Not taking a knee, nor standing down/ready.

To the big question, yup, even the most heinous, make that especially the most heinous, must go through our system to make sure you don't get dragged out by the scruff of your neck in the middle of the night by a different administration.

You and I like each other, get a kick out of each other's humor, have friends in common, and would have the bestest time herfing for sure. But right now is the worst time for me to get involved in this. It's my fault that it has gone this far for me but I have to pull back for a few days, maybe more, maybe less. Just want you to know I love this stuff and I am not fleeing nor avoiding. My attention is required elsewhere.

Trump signed a joint resolution condemning nazis, white supremacists and such 3 years ago

He condemned racism, bigotry and white supremacy last year.
