@peterquirk It's one of the main reasons that BIG Changes only come when 3.5% of the population gets to certain realizations at the same time. It's ESSENTIAL that we all start getting to the point in our hearts where EVERYBODY deserves to live a life where they're able to Have Dignity, Feel Safe and to Feel a Sense of Belonging.

@ninjacooter It's so good. There are many lessons in this story, including the one that you can't depend on the justice system to protect us from those who have ultimate control over it.
