Everyone talks like they're Liam Neeson from 'Taken' but the reality is no schools or ICE facilities were burned down by any parent or member of the community who's children were abducted by unidentified feds. The government aren't afraid because people like you blow hot air all day but they call your bluff over and over and win every time, I see a lot of talk but only two examples of somebody ante-ing up and doing something about it, and one of them missed by centimeters.
I'm sorry, I don't mean you personally. In all honesty I agree with your initial statement in that I too would and do want proper justice for crimes against children, but then I'm immediately smacked in the face by the reality that we aren't even close to seeing any of that kind of justice and all our tough talk doesn't scare them one bit. We are grinding the same axe here, but i'm very perturbed by all this which has made me eager to fight and i'm sorry if I directed fighting words to you personally. We're both strangers to eachother here after all, I have no way of knowing who you are, if 99.999...% of the time that sort of justice you mentioned never happens then how am I to NOT think you would be the same? I'm sure you'd WANT to burn down the school, much like I want to burn the Sacklers for killing 12 of my friends in the opioid epidemic, much like their parents who were deceived into dodgy perscriptions by doctors probably want to burn the whole thing down, nobody ever does.
