You're right, Emily. As usually happens, the floodgate has been lifted and this will signal more of the same now that some people can justify it being "okay".

This is EXACTLY what I thought when I saw the callous reaction. Are we not better than that?

Don't answer that--I can't take much more disappointment.

It’s a bigger conversation. We’ve been beat down by a lot of Brian Thompsons for a long time. No, violence isn’t the answer. But then what?

You know what I think. There are only 2 possible outcomes. Universal health coverage or..Bread Riots redux.....French Revolution 2.0.

As a non-American I bite my tongue on some topics. I don't want to pass opinions on something I'm not "responsible" for nor can I vote against.

But I'll say that it's not just America, too many countries are now "saying the quiet part out loud" and it's shocking to watch.
