It's amazing how much attention rioting and looting gets. Right up to the US Attorney general and President. Maybe WE should start rioting!
I'm not even gonna get started......

Thanks for the sentiment, and you are correct.

Just what do you think is gonna happen if the shooting is considered justified? Don't answer that!

Hadda commission job for nearly a year during a long layoff back in the 80's, made something over 7 grand in 5 days once. But you could go a month with nothing, too. Was a raise for me getting back on the hourly wage, based on annual income. Also, zero, nada, no kind of benefits on the commission stuff. Commission usually means talking somebody into spending money they'd rather spend on something else, not something I'm suited for.

I just wonder how much chit the cops are gonna take before they say enough, and just stand back and videotape these gentle giants robbing and beating without even trying to stop them. Then turn the cameras off when an outraged town shoots the little bastards 600 times... Or just announce that the whole police force is taking a week's vacation at the same time next week, and all you nice young black guys behave while we're gone... (not that there aren't some nice young white guys, too).

Eventually you won't lose any more. I only have two uncles left that are older than me. Ex's parents died a lot sooner than mine. One of the things I liked about my daughter's ex, had a big extended family here and in Switzerland; she would have had a big family for decades. Doesn't have much now, and she's only 30. Ain't just family, well over half the people I've known aren't around any more, miss a lot of them.

Typically, people of OUR generation don't loot or riot. We do occasionally, however, shoot people who assault or rob us. I do remember the Detroit riots and that the Governor here also called out the National Guard who showed up with the 50 calibers. The rioting ceased almost immediately. However a large segment of a particular group left Detroit never to return which led to the eventual economic destruction of our countries leading industrial city.

It's good to be the one who misses lots of old friends (still alive), but it sucks sometimes, too.
