Often times I must check my gut reaction to these events and look around to see who else is reacting and how. I feel guilty because a part of me wants to stay politically correct, an ever shrinking part of me wants to support the status quo and agree with white zionists that it's all the fault of the people.
Problems arise when the rest of me acknowledges that sending jobs and investment off-shore, de-funding and gutting education and de-regulating the banking and financial industries have placed control of the country well out of reach of 95% of the population. Frustrated by their stolen powers the people react, only to be met with militarized police tactics and private, for-profit prisons.
Police are just pawns and 'the money' has set the police as the bullwark of defence against those who rightfully argue and fight against the theft of power and control. As the economy fails and jobs are lost, more people will gravitate to becoming government employees and therefore targets for increasing outrage by an evermore powerless people.
At some point in the very near future the U.S. will become like Mexico, only less peaceful because there are more guns. Maybe by then I will have stopped feeling guilty about cheering for the people over the money but I fear my own self and how I will confront the world when that guilt is gone.
