Not to mention how much money they are spending on finding the killer while other murder victims got a "lol who cares about minorities and the poors" from the same cops.
The incentives for police and prosecution action is mostly based on net worth, then by their prejudices.
I am horified that a man was assassinated in the street, I'm just more horrified at the state of what passes for "Healthcare" and "acceptable business practices" in America.
Im not happy that man is dead, I'm just less happy that health insurance is so predatory, corrupt and broken that someone felt that he needed to die.
I dont think anyone deserves to be gunned down in the street, some people are just a lot closer to deserving it than others.
I don't know how many of you realize this, but our true "Humanity" is being the most violent, ruthless apes in the jungle. Just because we managed to become smart and then used smarts in our violence, doesn't mean we're not all still at the core, violent psychopathic apes.
We haven't lost our humanity at all, it's on full display for the world to see.
Our "civility" on the other hand, absolutely - is taking a back seat right now. But civility is a social construct.
We are civil to people who are part of our in group and occasionally to strangers in desperate situations even if they don't. We are violently hateful towards people outside of the group we identify with.
Civility is taking a backseat because of all the fascist focus on hating those outside the geoup.
Even within the "in group", humans still show patterns of greed, dishonesty, etc. Con artists are a great example of this; people who will slip into the group and then work only for themselves.
