The High And Lows Of May 30, 2020

The year 2020 is setting all sorts of historic records.  As if the Covid virus is not enough we had more history making actions yesterday.  First of all Black Lives Matter - they do but in reality ALL lives matter!  With that off my chest let’s get on with it.  Yesterday we saw something truly amazing.  We watched a rocket with humans being sent into space.  I remember as a child watching this kind of a launch quite a bit on tv in my classrooms.  We would stop everything to watch.  NASA was space exploration and they were doing a good job.  Yes there were tragedies but they have triumphs too!  Watching the launch yesterday gave the county a break from the Covid crisis and the rallies so I thought. It gave ya a positive history making moment.  Then I change channels to see coverage of the riots, not rallies in Chicago, LA and in my own city of Jacksonville.  Another history making moment. Really people?  I have one question; how is destroying property and hurting other people physically helping?  Is it going to bring the lives that were were taken to return? No, instead of peacefully making a statement we bring violence into it.  Dumb!  Martin Luther King brought change through his actions and his words.  All that is happening now is showing the world how violent a few of us are.  Seeing the pictures and watching live actions of police vs protestors just makes me mad.  The police are human and mistakes can be make.  The people who were responsible for the injustice that happened are being charged.  Rioters stealing from a store that is not involved in anyway does nothing but create loss for all.  Wake up people!  Think before you react! If you want to make things change then do it but not at the expense of others, especially the innocent ones.  It was a great day and a terrible day; May 30, 2020.
