I meant to remind Freepers that Milwaukee’s Mayor, Tom Barrett, was attacked by a thug at our State Fair a number of years ago. Of course, this was before the BLM mayhem he’s dealing with now, but you’d THINK a personal beat-down would’ve changed his tune. They do say a Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged!

But it makes me sad. Remmeber the 60s?
I used to pray to God as a child that race relations would be resolved by the time I grew up.
I guess they want it all over again but the numbers do not add up.

“They do say a Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged!”
I don’t believe that axiom. I have a cousin who is a Left-winger. He grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. He was robbed while he was in his apartment by a group of black thugs. It had no effect on his political point of view. Twenty years later, he and his wife were victims of a drive-by shooting in San Diego. He and his family continue to be perpetually left-wing. It takes more than a couple of muggings to change a person’s ideology.
