Scotland doesn’t deserve that kind of respect. I feel like it’s a stretch to call Scotland a victim of the English the same way Ireland was, Scotland was a knowing and willing participant in most of England’s crimes
Honestly relieved to find out I'm just a hallucination within a simulation run by a fictional starship. Hopefully humanity is chillin' in the cool Star Trek future.
The most unbelievable thing about the Gabriel Bell story is not that the Sanctuary Districts would exist, but that Americans would see the inherent humanity of the poor and actually do something to help them after a riot and hostage crisis.
today i was reading about the LA Riots, and in each instance of "awful group of black men attack innocent passerby", there is a direct follow up of "black men see victim of attack and render immediate aid". but all my life i only heard about the first part, so i agree with your point that even when poor people "do the right thing" in these situations it gets ignored.
we aren't any more ready for it now than we were then unfortunately. A lot of people would get shoved into unmarked vans, merc'ed in parking garages, etc.
You know, we’re also just in time for San Francisco to start rounding up the homeless after they helped strip them of any semblance of rights left at the Supreme Court
My gut says that we're still a few years out from bell riots, but things are trending that way. just need an inciting incident. imagine if the trump shooter was homeless and not just some gun nut
I like to think my city will defend its people (not the government but the population at large) but from what little I've seen of SF I don't have a ton of hope
