    Yeah because that is what Martin Luther King Jr. would have wanted. We also have to ignore all the peaceful demonstrations throughout history to believe your line of reasoning.

    I totally get you live in a fantasy world where moar guns are the only solution. I guess the good guys just magically kill the bad guys. Glad we got that all worked out.

        “If the Negro succumbs to the temptation of using violence in his struggle for justice, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and his chief legacy to the future will be an endless rain of meaningless chaos.”

        I heard his words and understood the significance. You pretend he would support a literal genocide on the American people through gun violence. It is sickening really.

            I will never forget traveling to the East Coast when I was a teenager and seeing that the other side of the train tracks wasn’t just a saying. There were still restaurants blacks were not welcome at. The racism was palpable.
