Sorry to hear it. Thank you for your thoughts. They will help me practice some gratitude as to our local populations of responders.
We have our share of sociopaths who are always attempting to gain power but are usually identified and mostly mitigated (so far).
Over the last twenty years, within each organization, there is always at least one person who is desperate to be in charge while simultaneously being someone who should never be allowed to lead.
I suppose this is simply a universal human truism.
I wonder if the sociopathic/psychopathic success rate increases as organizational size increases. It would certainly help explain Trump.
The problem with steroids is they alter the personality, as opposed to just aggravating it. Otherwise level headed people tend to show the same symptoms of steroid use as normally more aggressive people do.
Culture develops from common values and when the critical mass of core values includes blatant racism, paranoia, sadism, and all the other traits that distinguish sociopaths and psychopaths from the rest of us, the culture rewards those who embody those values better than the rest. That’s how you build a reputation and that’s how you climb up the ladder.
Derek Chauvin is the living example of what I’m talking about. He is a sociopath (his record shows that very clearly.) He was both, feared, and envied by his peers and superiors. The only reason he didn’t get away with murdering George Floyd is because someone got the whole thing on video.
When it comes to a question of someone taking over, my feelings depend on who the people are and how they act, not what color their skin happens to be.
It reflects some of them to some extent. And how they respond to it reflects them even more since it's now an open story. If they don't bother to respond, that's perhaps the worst reflection of all.
have become a gathering ground for white supremacists.
What red hot minute have they ever been anything else? Seriously.I guess the same moment the Catholic Church stopped all sexual abuse.For 30 seconds in 1972.It is part of an on-going struggle.
Putin threatened to invade, so . . .

True, which sucks.
The alternative is not responding when people need help, which also sucks.

When Clinton said half of T's supporters were deplorable, my first thought was that she had badly underestimated the number.
Don’t worry, I’ve been told. Again and again.

Cats observe and judge.
It can be both. Usually is.
One problem is that the armed and violent criminals were mostly cops.
"We need to accept that systemic racism exists if we wish to defeat it."
Careful. Next thing we know we are accused of Critical Race Journalism.
So you can mock her.
Ugh what horrors they are.

Sounds like a lynching with everything but the rope.
