- coldpie 6y agoI was out cleaning up broken glass surrounding a burned out building on University Ave this morning because the police decided to execute a man in the street and then our government did absolutely nothing about it for almost a full week.

I would carefully examine the main foundational and historical claims which underlie the thesis, and I would consider the demands which accompany the complaint and how those demands might, when fulfilled, change and improve the lives of the movants. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you. Surely you've shut up and listened to people before?
