Apparently police shot a young man, maybe a known dealer. Police said he was armed. Family says it was a replica?
Now people are, actually strike that, media are saying it's about the economy.
I imagine that the current economic state might fuel anything.
I feel my deeply sad to have seen the photos of all those young people resorting to such, I don't know, dreadful
rampage.I thought, well, maybe if their elders had been on their toes a bit more. Like not eye deep in scandal and deceit. But I can't parcel out any blame, really.
People get very angry at police intervention sometimes for good cause. Years of living in LA and NY gave witness enough to a mindless and at times deeply misanthropic trend occurring in law enforcement.
I guess I could have ended that second sentence up there with *years of living*.
I dig a pony.
