Reference:- Poor young Andy Bolt looked genuinely sad when he described watching newsreels in the USA following the murder of black man George Floyd by the police .
Gee Andy , at first I thought you must have meant the videos of Mr Floyd being murdered in cold blood by a policeman . Not an uncommon event in the USA , in fact not unheard of here down under . In this instance the murder took place in front of several witnesses , and thanks to cameras in mobile phones, umpteen million folk world wide have shared the outrage .
But of course , that was not the cause of your sadness. It's the rioting caused by the undisciplined left that saddens you . You are no stranger to the concept of racism yourself Andy , so you were wise to steer clear of that slippery topic. And "the left " , whatever the hell you define that as , is always your perfect scapegoat when the rot in the system floats inconveniently to the surface.
Anyway , these are challenging times for us all . Thanks for reminding us that white folk get killed by the police regularly too. That's the kind of information we need to maintain a
sense of perspective . Maybe you could email Mr Floyd's family , or at least his kids , and remind them of that fact . It would be hugely consoling , don't you think ?
Your comrade , Ken
