We have reached a crossroads in society. Where we prosecute those who act accordingly to the law and forgive those who act maliciously. There is no distinguishing difference between us today and the dark society the gulag archipelago promised. We have currently sat by while our Supreme Court shows only one justice currently acts in service of our country. The fact we have sat by and let every large city not hold their own constituents by the laws they created and in effect claim that the law they created does not apply simply because those who attack our nation apply to a certain political identity. Law no longer applies, any argument otherwise has been proven completely false in the past few years. When some tries to murder someone during the riots and is forgiven while those who went on the equivalent of a guided tour during a heated political tension is left in solitary confinement for their actions shows the targeted malicious lie of government. Our own Declaration of Independence demands a responsible government accountable to the people. To say this must be settled by blood is a crime, except if you ask the founders of our country. The reality is that the weakness of our American ancestors has led to a necessary culling. We forgot that we only exist as a nation if we maintain the ideals of our founding fathers. Our founding fathers bleed and died for us, and I am asking you today if you are willing to die for your neighbors? We no longer have the cohesion or trust in a shared identity the wars of yesterday demanded. I doubt anyone here is willing to die for their neighbor because we no longer have a shared identity. How can we pretend that we are growing as a society when by ever metric we are doing worse? We can’t even define redemption let alone agree to how to properly punish those who commit horrendous crimes. We are so weak as a nation that we stand by watching our fellow Americans die because it would be inconvenient to stand against it.
