It's SAD that with all of the beauty and wonderment in this entire world we have reached a point where SELFISH people have taken to protesting, kvetching, complaining, bitching, moaning, rioting, killing, WHENEVER they feel as though they have been wronged in some way. 

If they don't agree with (fill in the many blanks here) a verdict, a term, an opinion, a color, a perceived insult, a situation, basically anything that THEY don't agree with, they feel that they can destroy, hurt, insult, disrespect, burn whatever the object of their ire is.

The people (many of, not all) are throwing essentially TANTRUMS with disastrous consequences. 

Unfortunately this is becoming the norm. There is (among many) NO RESPECT for any authority if they don't agree with (something).

This behavior is reminiscent of the spoiled kid(s) who, when confronted with NO (you can't have more candy, another toy, a new whatever) start lashing out, breaking things, crying, yelling etc.

While that may seem simplistic, the behavior is eerily similar. Unfortunately, the people (many of, not all) involved in the vast majority of the rioting, burning, looting, are simply criminals engaging in criminal behavior. PERIOD. 

While these people take every opportunity to react violently to ANY slight (perceived or not)  they are creating a situation where people (cops or regular folks) are going to respond with force. 

That ANYONE brings a gun to a "peaceful protest" is patently absurd. As a longtime gun owner and member of many shooting clubs, I can't even imagine bringing a firearm to ANY kind of event. It just goes against all common sense.

 Quoting RBG on SCOTUS appointments.


As the debate over what to do about the vacancy on the Supreme Court is only getting started, perhaps we should heed the advice of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself as to what to do.

When a similar scenario occurred four years ago, following the death of Antonin Scalia, the Republican-controlled Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It was a controversial move, and Ginsburg had something to say about it:  Ginsburg publicly called on the Senate to go through with the nomination.

“That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”

“Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was with her, agreed. “I think we hope there will be nine as quickly as possible.”
