The
death of George Floyd at the hands of police should never have
happened. It was murder and a dark moment in America. The looting,
terrorism and burning of American cities by so called protesters is
criminal and a dark moment in America.
The
Minneapolis police officers involved in Floyd's death must be held
accountable. The criminals involved in wrecking American cities, robbing
and burning businesses must be held accountable.
Americans
have the right to free speech. Free speech does not mean destroying
property, hurting police officers and criminal activities.
The
question many Americans are asking today is who is funding these
criminal, terrorist riots that have happened across America? People
are showing up from other cities and states to wreak havoc and chaos in
American cities. Who is paying their travel? Who is providing their
lodging? Who is paying them money? Are there really this many evil, bad
people in America? Obviously, there are because the acts of violence
displayed on national television are not coming from peaceful
protesters. We have seen and heard about many peaceful protesters.
Thousands of people have made their protests in a peaceful, honorable
way.
No
one blames anyone for being upset and angry about what happened to
George Floyd. It made me angry. I would be willing to march with anyone
to cry out against such an act and event. Actually, I cried out against
Floyd's murder in last week's column stating my feelings about his
murder by the hands of the Minneapolis police officers. This column goes
to thousands of media outlets. It was horrific and wrong and the
officers must be punished. The looters and criminals who have vandalized
and saw Floyd's death as an opportunity to pursue criminal activity
also must be put in jail and punished.
America
is in deep trouble. We are still in the middle of Covid-19 with the
prospects of a Fall resurgence. Unemployment soars. Businesses have
closed and many are struggling to hold on. Economically our nation is
buried. The future of our older generation is at great risk and the
younger generation has not grasped yet what is really in store for them
financially. The economic plight of this nation has put the realization
of the American Dream at great risk for America's children.
We desperately need a revival of "rightness" in America. There was a day
when people believed in strong morals, decency, respect and the Golden
Rule. This "rightness or rule" must happen from all the politicians, to
the police officers, to the protesters and to every person in America.
The preachers in America must get this message out. The politicians must
get this message out. We must put this message into our daily living.
Or, it's over for America.
Here's the rule again, "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
