Does Adam have on eyeliner at the protest, lol? That's Adam! Gotta love it! I don't even know why it struck me as so funny cause that is so Adam. HA. I think with all the pent up emotions and frustrations and anger, he just manages to put a smile on my face and laughter in my heart. I think I needed that!!!

I admit I had been puzzled about the protestors' demand, that Adam also shares, to Defund Police. But I've just watched John Oliver, and he gives a comprehensive explaination that really enlightened me. So if anyone here is interested, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf4cea5oObY

So if anyone here is interested, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf4cea5oObYYeah, that segment is powerful. The ending chilled me to the bone.
I've read some of the posts of the last few days. Lots of feelings.
No one looks up to George Floyd as a “hero”. He was a human being. He did not deserve to die. That is the point. All of his faults put together, did not deserve his execution. He was murdered because he was black, and his death is the last straw. That is what the protests are about. If his death is an example of law and order, then law and order needs to be looked at and changed. The police are out of control.
Conservatives are missing the point, thanks to people like Candace Owens, who twist the truth and lie, while articulating it well. She says things that sound good to her conservative audience. Things like" "Everyone is pretending that this man lived a heroic lifestyle". Umm, literally no one is pretending that. She is an opportunist. A simple Google search will tell you a lot.
And I would like to defend Rachel Maddow. She is smarter than any of her fellow news anchors, but is almost humble at the same time. I think of her as a college professor. I love how she uses words. Yes, you have to focus, but she always makes sense, and doesn't lie. She believes in what she says, and she is passionate about what she believes. A true intellectual, and a good person.
And Adam - I am so proud of you.
