Our society has become impoverished, unstable, and insecure. Victim culture has been encouraged and enabled, so that many unworthy people clamor for victim status, taking money from taxpayers with no responsibility whatsoever for what may have occurred. I would have supported the death penalty for those guilty of the torture and murder of Emmett Till at the time, seventy years ago. It’s ugly to protest hoping for the arrest of an 88 year old woman in hospice, reportedly with dementia. Time to let it go.

Mischief makers may have shot out the power installations just because they could. It has not been proven that it was to interrupt a drag show. But I think ordinary people are going to push back hard when it comes to the sexualization of their children at school, parades, libraries, etc. I read that the drag show which may have been involved in the blackouts was for adults only, but many feel that such events should not be permitted at all and are willing to engage in civil disobedience to take back the night.

It was very sad about the murder of that little girl. But fairly common. The girl was seven, and should have been under adult supervision at all times. She got off her school bus outside her house at 4:15, her parents didnt call the police until after six. I support the death penalty in cases like this. But even in a lawless, licentious society, the buck stops with the parents.
