This is truly enraging.

The terrorist who killed 5 people at Club Q boasted during a 2021 bomb threat about his plans to become “the next mass killer.” Knowing this full well, authorities dropped all charges anyway and still let him keep his guns. His records were then sealed to ensure he wouldn't have to face the consequences for his threats to terrorism.

Meanwhile, Tamir Rice played with a toy gun and authorities killed him in 1.7 seconds because they "feared for their lives."

Two Americas.

@QasimRashid The problem is to a large part human: the police fear for their lives, they rely too much on stereotypes, they are often not the brightest and kindest people.

But the institutional framework is catastrophic. The population directly electing sheriffs, judges; uncoordinated, locally shaped national elections with voter suppression, gerrymandering, electors who do not even have to vote for their candidate, weeks of vote counting. Americans need to arrive to the 21st century.

@QasimRashid The US Constitution is a man-made set of rules, it is not Scripture. It is in fact almost blasphemous to treat it like that. If the rules do not serve the people well than they need to be changed.
