I haven't commented on the slap, but it did not traumatize me. I wish it hadn't have happened, but ....

Anyway, what did traumatize me was watching George Floyd lying on the ground begging for his life, for his Mom while simultaneously, his life being snuffed out in broad-open daylight by murderous cop Derek Chauvin who was kneeling on his neck and looking into the camera unfazed.

What was traumatizing for me was seeing was seeing that attack on our US Capitol by people who were trying to stop the certification of an honest and fair election down at the US Capitol on January 6th. Now THOSE two things in recent history still traumatized me.


I guess this slap was way worse worse than those two incidents
