Perhaps the families of the accused could unite and call for answers.

I can see some of them keeping their heads down to not make it worse

I’m not sure why you chose to have a disagreement with me.

We seem to be saying the same thing different ways.

Is the only point is whether or not there is a formal declaration that I still think there will never be any. There may be a declaration of martial law, Which will probably fail.

It’s not going to be some states against other states it’s going to be cities against suburbs.

Pretty much.

Shake hands and buy each other a beer? (or other beverage of choice?)

Why haven’t there been protests against this? Peaceful protests!

Perhaps. Sometimes I wonder if most Americans have the stomach for a fight.
