Tuesday Morning Mistake
Wanted to watch the morning news to learn more about the University of Virginia, Charlottesville... The shootings that left 3 dead and seem several injured.
The problem with news. You never know if you are getting an accurate account of everything that happened, or getting the truth, or getting the news without bias.
Having said that... The news interviewed someone, and they indicated that the student that killed the other three students was being harassed and tormented, and was suffering mental anguish over the way he was being relentlessly being treated. Indicating that the three that were killed were harassing the student that did the shooting. Apparently campus authorities did nothing to stop the harassment. Warning signs ignored? History repeating itself. The police indicated that the shooter had earlier made a threat of gun violence. So, who knows how accurate this report is with the facts, but it certainly seems possible.

Next in the news. The voter suppression issues where being protested. Again there's probably more to the story, but the report centered around black people being suppressed from voting over requirements to have to present photo identification in order to vote.

Again, just another racially motivated issue creating social division on racial lines. Over photo Id's being required? How is that racial?
Seems like every thing that happens, any laws or requirements, is turned into a racial issue. How are racial issues, the real issues, ever going to go away when more fuel is constantly being added to the fire? Doing more harm than good.
