Keep voting the same. Pain creates change. Apparently people are not suffering enough to create the change needed.

It wasn’t commies who vandalized the UU church in Kingston. I’d bet a month’s SS check that they were wearing MAGA caps.

It’s crazy how people can read a book by its cover and tell the whole story. No one knows what truly happened but let’s condemn them smh.. this society sucks. Hope someone had a ring or some security cam that can assist with bringing this all to light! My condolences to the family yet if they would’ve not escalated the situation violently, the outcome would’ve been different.

No matter what the extent of this situation was there’s no reason why a 23 year old adult should feel the need to escalate a situation to stabbing a child. Both the offenders are obviously reckless, have no heart and deserve every single day they get behind bars and some as we see they already disrespected the stabbing victim by giving her a minor charge like that.
