Peaceful protests are a primary Constitutional Right in this country & respect is supposed to go both ways. Sadly, neither is truly happening right now.
However, Iesha Evans has given us a very powerful image, amid the chaos with her simple, elegant, act of quiet protest.
(Thanks, we needed that!) Ghandi surely would be proud of her...
On all sides, we got law breakers, bullies, thugs, criminals, punks, drunks, negotiators, orators, thinkers, skeptics, role models, Veterans, scardy-cats, politicians, artists, poets, working stiffs, professionals, buddies, pals, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, boyfriends, girlfriends, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, families... lots of families.
Blue Families &
Black Families
Despite the stupid-asses from both camps that have created this powder keg, Evans' elegant act of peace should serve to remind us that it's time for
everybody to
SHUT THE FUCK UP & LISTEN!
...to EACH OTHER!
Now, cut that shit out... & don't make us Detroiters come down there...

Poor Josh Brown.
He deeply believed in emerging Technology & it catastrophically failed him. In fact, it took his head off.
Brown must've believed all of the media hype around autonomous cars. I'm sure he trusted Elon Musk's incessant techno-gospel preaching. I'll bet he read Consumer Reports' bullshit review of how great Tesla vehicles are. He probably felt secure that if NHTSA sanctioned this advanced technology, the Gov't had proven that it was ready for the road. And his believing killed him.
Now everybody is back-tracking. Tesla says "Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert..." As usual, NHTSA is investigating & won't comment... Consumer Reports revoked their glowing review of the Tesla due to the high Warranty on the cars. Now, our "glorious" media is talking of Brown's history of speeding tickets & the possibility of him watching a Harry Potter movie at the moment of impact.
NEWS-FLASH:
This technology is still in its infancy! That's why no other auto manufacturer (or Google, or Apple) has released it for production!!!
Sorry, but if it proves true that poor Josh Brown was watching a fkn DVD, he immediately transforms into another dumb techno-twit, like the ass-clown caught sleeping in a Tesla during Cali rush hour. Although, he would have a statistically impressive lead on becoming 2016's "
Darwin Award Winner".
Un-fkn-believable....
