RACIAL RELATION IN AMERICA
I watched the riots in L.A when I was a younger man.
This truck driver that was dragged from his truck and bludgeoned haunted me so much I remember his name to this day.
Mr. Reginald Denny.
I also remember the Korean family who armed themselves to protect their property and livelihood.
And they were successful.
1965
55 years ago.
55 FUCKING YEARS!
55 FUCKING YEARS!

Hopefully, they will soon be called convicts.

Thousands of innocent Americans living in fear.

And if you deny we have a problem here's her story.
She was killed in a no-knock raid by plainclothes Louisville police who then arrested her boyfriend for fighting back. The suspect they raided for was already in custody.

It's all so sad. But don't think I abide burning stores or any violence. I DO NOT.

I was raised to be a racist. Then I moved to Oklahoma where they didn't give a shit about black people one way or another, but they hated native Americans. Then it occurred to me that both those views were dead wrong.

LATEST NEWS
After finishing this post I walked into the house for dinner to find my wife crying. I, of course, asked her what was the matter and she said, "There are police cars burning."
I didn't think much about it until I looked at the TV and found out IT WAS IN MY OWN FUCKING CITY!!!
Parking garages are ablaze. Restaurants are being stormed by rioters.
There are multiple fires, shots fired, police officers injured, and NOBODY is obeying the 6pm curfew.
I hate to use a trite cliche but I'm locked and loaded. I used to only have one gun within reach...now I have three including a shotgun with triple ought buckshot.
And this right in the middle of a global pandemic.
Have we Americans lost our fucking minds?
Our city's mayor is regularly on the phone with my wife...as is the police chief. Tonight on TV our mayor said, "Most of the troublemakers are not from Columbia. And I will tell you right now if you ain't from Columbia you better to get your ass home right now."
He gets my vote for not fucking around.
Stay the fuck safe in every way you can, Gentle Reader. I like you guys.
AND MANY PEOPLE STILL THINK THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY TO EVER EXIST.
