31st May, 2020.
It’s an official Sunday … and frankly?
My part of the world is quiet, right now.
Thankfully.
I know there’s parts of the world that aren’t.
I’ve had half an eye on the US: where some cities are seeing serious protest — and serious riots — after the death in police custody, of a man called George Floyd.
The reaction reminds me of the London riots, a few years back.
Which erupted after the death of Mark Duggan.
I couldn’t tell you how to stop them.
Although — in a move reminiscent of the Kent State shootings — have been called up.
I’ll give President Trump credit for throwing presidential weight behind recent US efforts in manned space flight: recent Democrat presidents have seriously ignored the only thing I’ve felt can honestly be called the American Dream.
But a couple things possibly spring to mind, here.
The poem, Whitey on the Moon.
I think space travel is a good thing: but can appreciate many won’t be focused on it.
Then there’s President Trump’s own comments about sending troops in.
That idea … ?
American troops shooting American civilians?
I have questions.
Not least this: has anyone told the President about the Peterloo Massacre … ?
Because sending in the troops could seriously backfire.
