Some of us have been here before. And our memories remain vivid.

Here is what happens in America when you start killing people who are standing up for peace, justice, and the Constitution:

MORE PEOPLE come into the streets, with more candles, more signs, more noisemakers, more determination, and more willingness to pay the ultimate price, to preserve the freedoms of their neighbors, their community, their families and their children/grandchildren.

Too many of these fools were not around for Kent State.

We have officially arrived at "blood in the gutters"... from here, there is no going back. The available directions are limited, and they have chosen the direction that leads to "yet more blood in the gutters."

This will not end well for them.

prognosticatorially,
Bright
