After a broken marriage there may well be resentment toward whites but they lived in Winchester rather than an inter city black zone where resentment is easier to build on. There aren’t any ethnic ghettos in Douglas County.

One of the main arguments for reinstating the draft is to have a prepared citizenry. Imagine if most of those students had done some kind of military service and been familiar with firearms and self-defense...

The passivity is hard to understand, I guess fear grips all of us at the moment of truth but given some kind of training, every citizen can go from being passive to taking down a murderer.
