SO…you WOULD get your children killed so a Trump staffer gets a slap on the wrist? How does that help the collective again?

The fact that no one even considers organizing in reverse to protect this person against the crazies is really revealing, you know.

Black Panthers started because they knew they couldn’t trust external forces to protect them.

Glad to know none of y’all will stand up for this persons family, and instead think them standing up to this would equal “killing their own kids” instead of you giving an inch and helping protect them.

You’re the one calling her a coward. How is that protecting her? Start organizing and I’ll join you. Keep calling her a coward for refusing to step up with no protection and I’ll know you’re a hypocrite.

Okay, let’s do it. How would you like to go about organizing? A GoFund me to fund people who can go there and stay vigilant? A meetup group or a change.org petition to get people aware of it? Both?

I’m being serious.

Sorry, but you forgot to blame us all for Katrina again and therefore your point is invalid.
