I have to say this
I have, in the past few days, thought occasionally about some of our members who spoke so loudly and with great indignation and condemnation of the rioters (mobs) in our cities during 2020. At times, I disagreed with the direction the finger of "accountability" was being pointed but did not condone in anyway what we were seeing as those mobs tried to burn their own cities down.
Now, we have entered possibly the darkest time of our democracy, brought on by mobs---whiter---maybe better dressed-- who traveled, even across the country, who stayed in hotels---but mobs--just the same---and our brothers have fallen silent
