Miriam, I am sorry to hear that you may be subjected to that sort of thing. Not
having any family myself, I forget sometimes how such interactions go. I think
you may have picked up a little of what I was getting at when I implied that
some people who post on this list also post on others lists (sometimes under
the same name, sometimes different) and their tone changes to fit the mob
mentality of the list.

I only referred to Blind Democracy. I'm not on those other lists. Hearing that
stuff would just upset me. I may very well hear some of it today at our family
gathering. I hope that no one decides to discuss anything political because I
find their ideas very painful to hear.

Miriam, not unfounded at all. We have had pro-police statements before. I have
heard folks talking in support of the misscariiages of justice. This was
especially true after the Eric Gardner episode. There was open condemnation of
the protesters. If you read the blind-chat or blind-ex listservs around then
you would know exactally what I am talking about. And, I won't even get started
about the comments made after Ferguerson incident.
More than one person was chanting about the kid getting what he deserved and
other bullshit like that. If you only read the comments of the two dozen or so
regular posters on blind-democracy you can easily be lulled into thinking that
what I observed is nonsense but you need to look at a broader picture.

Frank,
That's an unfounded assumption on your part.

Sadly, I suspect some of the suburbanites on this list are pulling for the
murderer here:
