    Watch The Murder of Fred Hampton, and tell me how it’s not currently being done by those in power.

    I love your naivety where you think that just because they don’t kill you or your loved ones, because you’re (likely) part of the accepted group, it’s ok to ignore the fact that they kill all the people you don’t care to think about.

    (I have no idea who you are. I just think the counter point to your point is equally valid and deserves consideration)

      I think you’re missing a point here.

      Of course his murder is bad and a disgrace, and of course those responsible should have been jailed for life. But with that in mind…

      Do you really believe that a “radical” like Fred would not be immediately picked up and put against a wall in case of a socialist, or anarchist revolution? Especially people like him, leaders with their own minds, would just disappear and be put in front of a door.

      I’ll watch the movie later when I have a chance to see it on the TV instead of my cellphone.

      You do the same.
