Zk, despite what you might think I’m not a wacko conservative. Perhaps my outburst was enraged because I was listening to Gloria’s press release as I was typing this going what the fvck… Again, my apologies for being out of character…
I don’t know why I’m taking this one so personal.. I guess it kinda hit way to close to home, because Alex’s life hit so close to my own even though he’s way in new york..
A few months ago, I know I was joking about bullet armor SUVs, and laughed it off as being waco…But these days, I’m not so sure it’s that crazy at all. I don’t like the idea that people think we’re easy targets, both on the street, and in the courtroom.[/quote]
No apology is necessary. I don’t think you’re a wacko, flu. I understand about certain things really hitting home. My wife, as you may remember, is Chinese. My daughter is half Chinese. Sometimes when I hear about violent racism against Asians or when I hear about people who want to keep the white race pure my emotion overwhelms my logic and I really want to hunt the bastards down. The thought of being in Alex’s shoes (hard not to think of it since you relate to him) and your kid being in danger or your kid seeing that happen to you would be enough to rile anybody up. Start getting somebody’s kids involved and anything can happen.
The desire to protect our children is, I think, our strongest instinct. Stronger, even, than our survival instinct.
