Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Random targeted violence on innocent people should always get extra protection and attention as a society.
If 2 strangers get drunk at a bar and shoot each other or gang members kill each other ... some personal decisions were made leading to the end result. Thats why the innocent baby killed by stray gun fire is so much more heartbreaking then some 16 year old with a long rap sheet.
A jewish or asian or black or white mom killed at the shopping mall for no reason other than they are jewish or white or black or asian .... it shocks the collective conscious of a community bc wed like to think if we avoid trouble, dont run our mouth, dont go out after midnight flexing our beer muscles, we should be free from consequences we didnt put ourselves into.
If a family cant walk down the street mid afternoon without getting targeted ... we need to pay special attention to that situation.
When we say "save the whales" we arent saying "dophins lives dont matter". We are saying we need to pay special attention to this problem bc this problem needs special attention.
