Quote:I'm proud of the people in Oakland for showing up en masse to protest this murder. I hope they continue. I disagree with Grant's mom about this; calm is not what's needed.
I haven't seen the response by his mum but what you say Myra is interesting. Sometimes calm is not what is needed. Why can't people be emotional? Is it an Anglo-Saxon thing or a control thing? Some one, defenseless and surrendered, is murdered in cold blood by someone who has been trained to know far better. What's not be outraged about that? Why not say so and show so? Why the stiff upper lip crap?
Same for those warning they have on tv or on videos with the war casualties etc "Some viewers may find the following scenes disturbing" Why wouldn't anyone find it disturbing unless they have been totally desensitized to any human emotion.
