In reply to the discussion: Why is everyone ignoring the shop owner who Mike Brown allegedly "robbed"? [View all]wundermaus
(1,673 posts)It's simply a matter of priorities...
A young man was murdered.
If that were your kid in a pool of blood in the middle of the street, you would maybe have a sense of that priority.
If I were that shop owner, I would have nightmares for the rest of my life over senseless loss of life where I was implicated in the circumstances that led to that crime.
If I were the parent of that child, my world would have come to an end.
Nothing would matter, I would not care about anything.
I would be lost forever.
Do you understand the priority of it now?
If I were that shop owner... I would not expect to be thought of at all.
That senseless loss of life consumes all the oxygen from the air.
Loving, caring people are not able to breathe in such a atmosphere of injustice.
We gasp and struggle to comprehend how such evil can exist in our communities.
We can not in all good conscious allow such behavior the persist.
We citizens have a moral imperative to make sure this life lost in not in vain.
