Edging Toward Civil War - The Early Skirmishes

In February two Georgia white men attempted to abduct a black jogger.  When the jogger resisted  he was shot and killed. The prosecutor felt there was insufficient evidence to take the case to the grand jury.

This week a black security guard at a Family Dollar store in Flint, MI was shot in the of the back of the head for requesting that a customer wear a mask or not be served.  

The largest and most aggressive protest against sheltering regulations was in Michigan, a state with a female governor in a state where the city with highest cluster of CORONA 19 is Detroit, a primarily African American city.  

Today President Trump called on citizens to become warriors.  The LA Times reported:

"In recent days, he’s begun describing citizens as “warriors” in the battle against the pandemic and suggested some of those fighters might have to die if that will help boost the economy. "

About six months before his death, I had the privilege  of hearing Congressman Cummings speak.  An audience member asked what scares him most.  Mr. Cummings said that after listening to witnesses at the Michael Cohen hearings, what scared him most is what Trump means when he said that he would not go quietly.  

Assault rifles remain the weapon of choice. Gun sales are on the rise and the President is losing popularity. 

The signal has been given.
