Agree with this...but, when will the protestors realize the people they should be angry with are some of the very "leaders" standing with them.
Yes.
Also, let us remember to take note that some of these sterling leaders were at the memorial, standing arm and arm with the certain other people. Sometimes, the really important choices we make in life have a huge impact (even it is by implication); on others. For instance, what has happened in this incident. We have been lied to from day one from certain people involved in this incident. Inviting and permitting people into a memorial is a
choice.
I'm
still waiting for a direct, concise and sincere apology to the storekeeper that was strong-armed, bullied and robbed. To do the right thing or not to do the right thing is a
choice, as well. For me, the fact that I'm still waiting for an apology speaks volumes as to character of
some. Not mentioning any names or persons here!
Since we are not permitted to speak of MB's family all I can do is share how we parented:
I raised my child to be very respectful and cooperative while dealing with LE, insisted she attend DARE programs, to never use profanity especially in public etc... We were in constant contact via text and cell phone all day long, every day, even school days. ( the school system permitted cell phones at that time). We showed her respect by knocking on her door prior to entering her room at a very young age, we listened very carefully to any complaints she had. I could go on and on...I feel very strongly about taking personal responsibility and I think that this incident has a lot to do with
choices that were and were not made. Maybe our child smoked pot at some time in her teen years, maybe she had a drink or 3 before she was 21, I know that she broke the town curfew a couple of times (9:00 pm every day of the week for children under 16.) She was not a perfect child, but a child that was fully educated by my husband and me.
The point I am trying to make is that we taught her that if she
chose to do something that was against what we had taught her that there would be consequences.
