Interesting notice on the stifling of human interaction... I never noticed but having it pointed out, I clearly see it now.
...Disturbing.
I followed for a while a group called Cop Block on facebook. I did it to try and make sure I was aware of all the brutality and reality going on with police in this country. Instead I recognized the page breeding hatred for police officers.
And while I am not okay with officers murdering, and raping, and getting a paid vacation instead of prison, I am also not okay with cold blooded murder of someone in a uniform simply for being in a uniform... And while I've seen more than my share of execution styled murders before my phone stopped letting youtube play for me inside America alone, I still did not feel I was in danger, if anything, my heart further yearns for the safety and peace of every non-white human being in this country, from black to mexican to middle eastern to whatever. Racism is clearly alive and thriving. There is something wrong, but I am powerless against it, and I don't want to get mixed up as some kind of 'domestic terrorist' for following a group breeding hatred of police.
This entire country was built this way though. What more can be said, I honestly do not feel American, or proud to be American. I am Proud to be an American against Corruption and War though. But nationally speaking, I am ashamed of my country. I have seen this country do things before I was born that are beyond ungodly, thank you video recording technology...
I just wish the citizens of this country would take back their Federal Government and rearrange the structure to be more...Appropriate.
Instead, I see Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton.
And I wonder if this next year will be THE year s*** hits the fan, or if they're begin forcing people to do things like get vaccinated, register firearms, or such.
Freedom. I don't think this country actually knows what that word means. -sighs heavily-
Jade, no offense. But to be caught with even a gram of weed can get you thrown into a FEDERAL Prison with major serial killers, gang members who have body counts behind them, and major druggies, some of which might not be fully there in the head while withdrawing cold turkey, for possibly life (not likely, but years, yes, likely). Fear is one thing, noticing irrational punishment and understanding how close you are to it should be another thing entirely. Perhaps it is fear, or maybe being smart enough to notice suffering is being pursued by those in authority isn't fear, but genuine concern for your own safety in a country that would gladly lock you up for life, just for smoking a plant, with other's who did much more than smoke a plant. Simply put, it's genuine insanity.
It's saddening. I don't really know how to handle it, I've honestly just grown numb to seeing it happen.
