Hitting Your Head With A Hammer Matters

These days, I feel like we're ultra-indulgent parents of disturbed children.

"If mommy and daddy take down the bad statues, will you stop hitting yourself on the head with a hammer?"

Even that is too harsh because we're not asking the children to stop hitting themselves on the head with hammers. Dig this video of head hammering.

It's the Walmart in their own neighborhood. They're not stupid, they know this is where they shop. They know this is where some of them work. To deny their intellect or moral agency is, and I'm not kidding, racist. It's the very definition of racism to say that they don't possess the same mental faculties that you do.

They're hitting their own heads with hammers while we take down statues, rename military bases, abuse the police and grovel for forgiveness. Who does this? On what planet does any of this make sense? This isn't moral or thoughtful, this is simply cowering in fear, hoping to appease the mob so they'll leave us alone. No one outside of CNN viewers think that begging for mercy from the mob is going to lead to anything good.

If you think about it carefully, our response to the mob is the opposite of love. If you love someone, you hold them accountable for their actions. If you don't care whether they live or die, you smile and nod your head while they self-destruct right in front of you.

Or hit themselves on the head with hammers.

Bonus take: What's the over-under on police resignations in blue cities? Who's going to voluntarily stay when the public and your political leaders treat you like this?
