Diary 83
Tuesday, June 9th
The news that a very few people had driven their cars and trucks into peaceful protesters was greeted, generally, with disgust and outrage. The use of potentially deadly force against a peaceful crowd seems absurd; and if these were gestures designed to enlist support for some cause or other, they failed.
Fifteen days of peaceful protests, and they continue.
More deserving of our attention is the fact that the Georgia Primary was a mess of broken voting machines, long lines and people unable to vote by mail. Really? In the USA? This is the best we can do?
George Floyd was buried today. Huge crowds turned out to mourn him.
The pictures are from a walk we took by the river. Dog roses seemed to be everywhere and perfumed the air. The path was created by dedicated bands of people working with the city council for many years. Good people working together can create miracles. It’s an inspiration to us all.
