Is the outrage, reaction, and response that we read focused on the horrible treatment and ultimate senseless death of George Floyd? Is the outrage, reaction, and response that we read focused on what should be peaceful protests that have been hijacked by violent behavior? These events are certainly not comparable, but our focus is what separates us. We have contempt and disgust toward the brutal, senseless killing of George Floyd. We feel confusion and disillusionment over the looting and destruction occurring by some, during what should be peaceful protesting. Our reactions are not mutually exclusive. We are all brokenhearted. We are all disillusioned. When one reaction is focused on one of these events, and another reaction is focused on the other, it should not result in divisiveness. People are only expressing their confusion on two heartbreaking and frustrating events.
