I realize this probably has been posted before but what I wanted to point out is that this writer expresses my exact thoughts on the issue. WTF do these people want? Now they are having race baiting specials on the TV, it is like we are in the 60s instead of having a black president.
From the article:
Hunger striker's family worth $20 million
Just when you think this story couldn’t get any more bizarre, it does. “Justice” is one of those concepts you can spout about all day and never really explain. Does Butler want justice for the racial slurs? For someone writing the “N” word on his dorm-room door? (Neither incident apparently documented.) Do we put people in jail or even arrest them for name calling? I still get called “Four Eyes” by adult juveniles. Should we make that illegal too?
I don’t whether it’s because of my advanced years or the fact that I live such an insulated life, but I swear I haven’t a clue what is going on here. Logic, reason, tolerance, reality — all have all been abandoned for what appears to me to be an overwhelming desire to destroy for the sake of destruction; bully for the sake of bullying; intimidate for the sake of intimidation.
There’s no rhyme or reason to it. And I suppose that’s the point.
