I think you're hoping that the more we either behave or talk about "civility" to folks (like the BLM agitators) so they'll understand that that is what we want - not escalated violence such as is going on now.

Unfortunately, that's like trying to talk to a tiger ready to lunge and kill you for dinner.

From time to time, in our local community after a particularly offensive drive by shooting, people gather for a prayer and/or candle light vigil asking for an "end to the killing."

It's promoted all over TV but it is viewed by two groups that either can't or won't do anything about it: suburban whites who've never participated in a drive by shooting in their lives and wouldn't ever commit such a senseless act; and black drug king lords who don't tolerate getting 'dissed so commit drive by shootings daily!

There is a special food to feed the tiger that will tame it.

Trouble is, that food can only come from heaven, not from men, and the tiger cannot be forced to eat, it can only be wooed.

Your point is that some people are too decivilized to be roused to decency. I am hoping they have brains in there they just haven’t been taught to use, and that social pressure to be decent and not just react violently to any slight will work its magic, if not on this generation, maybe the next.

Violent reaction to being dissed is something a squirrel can do. Also mating with anything around.

We need to expect human behavior.
