I was 5 years old in 1967 in Newark NJ. Although I didn't know what was going on 100% I knew it was bad and that feeling has never left. It is sad.

It is absolutely terrible what is happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country. Terrible!

This now crosses the line to domestic terrorism. Needs to be addressed NOW. The thugs will go further if this is not addressed with decisive action.

This has gone on for years, rioting is not protesting. It needs to be stopped with whatever means necessary.

Paula just told me not to send what I wrote down.
This can be stopped in one day. It is going to get much much worse. Some are reaping what they have sown.

This is a timely and compelling topic of discussion. We all agree that everything that has happened is tragic. None of that is even remotely related to our shared hobby. Further discussion should be by PM. It is not an appropriate thread for this Forum.

I agree with Emile, let's put an end to this discussion. We all have our feelings and there is enough news out there now about it, so we don't have to extend it here.
Please, NO FURTHER POSTS.

Brian, while I respect your request I’d just like to say that I am at ground zero right now holding the dirt defending my brothers home. You guys can say what you want and politicize this terrible situation but there are thousands of innocent people living thru this mayhem and I’m one of them Matthew, We all understand what you’re going through and empathize with your crisis but this is not the appropriate Forum for this Thread. Brian’s comments regarding the ending of this Thread are not requests. They are a polite reminder of the purpose and mission of this Forum. From the creation of this Forum, we all knew that it wouldn’t be the perfect fit for everyone and that everyone wouldn’t be the perfect fit for the Forum. I hope you know how much we like having you as a Member and hope that you will continue to participate appropriately. Your family is in our prayers. Emile

I am not posting this to agitate or inflame in any way. It is to let you know that I care deeply about you and your country. I have spent the last 24 hrs. trying to educate myself a little more through telephone calls with some members and through internet research to have a better understanding of certain situations. I am not a political animal in any way shape or form. I, like most of my fellow Canadians are very apolitical. We just don't have the same passion for the subject. As best I could, I added up the time I have spent throughout the years in America. It adds up to a little over a year and a half. I have always been treated with respect and courtesy south of the border. Actually, more so than north of the border at times. I for one have nothing but deep admiration and respect for Americans and America. I personally believe that if there is any country on the face of this earth that has the ability to overcome, it is yours. You have in the past and you will do so in the future.
Kindest Regards To All,
Gary.
