Good afternoon my lovely mingle2 family, wow, I have to say my last 2 topics in the political room you guys continue to make them mega hits and I have to acknowledge my " Vocal Avengers". I try posting new fresh ideals so I can continue to be relevant here. If you traveling to my neck of the woods Philadelphia, very sunny warm and lovely like you guys here. Okay, let's get right into it. I was on my lunch break in Rittenhouse Park, and I grabbed a Metro paper and I came across this article. The article talks about the protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend. For those who don't know Heather H. 32 was killed & 19 others were injured, five critically on Saturday. When a man plowed a car into a crowd of people protesting the White Nationalist Rally in a southern college town of Charlottesville. Another 15 people were injured after rival groups fought pitched battles using there fists, rocks, & pepper spray in the streets. The kicker is on Sunday TV shows Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer a Democrat said the police responses was adequate with nearly 1,000 law enforcement personnel assembled Signer blamed Trump for the violence starting with the 2016 campaign. So America, how you feel about this here? Is it Trump fault for making Hate groups feel like they have more power now or was this just a random act by a crazed nut? You be the judge, I can't wait to hear from you !
All replies will be answered back!
Thanks a million

Hey Eyeam,,
ahhh,, the blame game, I avoid it at all costs
I tend to see life through a lens of 'responsibility' and not 'blame'
the ultimate responsibility for that disaster lies with the person who made the choice to take the life of others,,,
it helps when we stigmatize such actions instead of supporting them, because support of these types of things serves to give certain individuals more motivation to carry out their worst fantasies,,,
but the ultimate 'blame' is only on the person who did this not on any group he belonged to or supported, not to the president or any politician or other citizen,,,,
as decent humans, though, we should consider the fuel we light under the fuze of others when we dehumanize any demographic or minimalize their significance as fellow human beings,,,
as far as the POTUS is concerned, I will say the same as I said when people accused OBAMA of being 'divisive'
heads of state do not create division, they shine a light on the division thats already hiding in plain site,,,,
