Most objective writing about the west coast protests I have seen.

Drills home , for me, while all these Trumpists and their auxiliary support (police, military claiming to just be doing their jobs) are actually evil and must be treated so. They are no longer able to listen. They are delusional. If you know one of them, even a relative or a church member or a coworker, do not engage with them casually unless they are asking rational questions. Owners should find legal ways to refuse them service. Here is a hard one- if work for them, find a different job or start your own business. We must stop supporting them. Otherwise they will continue to use us for their evil ends. The evil will spread as long as we don’t tourniquet its flow.

I am on disability now. Back when I had my own business I turned away clients. Here is one I have not discussed much.

Lighthouse Charity Team. Very conservative from the get go as they are mostly made up of retired police and fireman. I did tech support stuff for them for $25 to $50 an hour 10 years ago. I am a programmer so that is chump change. Why ? Because they were doing good for the community. Then there was a change of leadership. A real conservative jerk wad who said blacks should be lassoed and lead down the street. Here is a link to an article about the incident amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/10…

Others in the organization, I could hear in background of this phone call, laughed and agreed it would teach black people a lesson. I have kept that conversation a secret as that organization still had good people in it who did not agree. Lighthouse Charity Teams goal is to help people in need. In the past they helped plenty of minorities when hurricanes hit. I no longer could trust their intent. They were a major client of mine. I dropped them. If this man was the leader they wanted, they can afford the $100 to $200 an hour wages of someone else. That was before Trump. It’s time all good people do the same. Do not support or help evil unless you must.
