I think it's clear we have hit the All-Stop Condition I spoke of at the beginning of this pandemic back in March.
Last night, a 17 year old from central Illinois who is a Trump-supporting militia member went to Kenosha and killed two people and maimed a third in the first real strike-back of the alt-Right against the BLM protests.
Look, it's reprehensible, but people need to get this is where we are.
I said to various fora I am still allowed to post in that this IS the Second American Civil War. Just moving a shade slower than I think some would like.
But it's becoming clearer and clearer we're shooting our way out of this. Talking doesn't work, either way.
Want one good example? Tonight's NBA cancellations -- and the all-but-certain fact that tomorrow probably follows suit.
This, following a meeting in which ESPN reports at least an informal poll which indicates the two Los Angeles teams want the season over right now -- that it is no longer right they can play at all. It got so contentious that LeBron James stormed out of the meeting.
There are a lot of people who believe Black-populated sports need to be done away with because of these people's beliefs being more like the Ku Klux Klan.
Someone forgot to tell them the story of Jimmy the Greek.
There is a non-zero chance we lose the NBA season, and who knows what happens from there.
But the NBA best be very careful. People know it's Black Man's League from the Donald Sterling incident, and the league IS 80% Black. With next season all but certain not to start til at least a month after the election: If Trump wins, the NBA is FINISHED.
And now, a Black suicide (there are conflicting reports as to whether the police wanted a piece of him for shoplifting, etc.) has set off Minneapolis again...
