Very disappointed to see what happened to my friend Senator Tim Carpenter last night. We have a common purpose to bring justice where it has been long overdue and individuals can’t be reduced to collateral damage in the process, especially those on the proper side.
I stand by my objection to violence against innocent people in all forms.
But what I’m not about to do is open this app and see the same far right provocateurs who have used every bit of bandwidth to broaden the chasm of race relations in this state chime in as if they haven’t pushed people to this moment.
They have fanned the flames of hate, and play shocked and chagrined when there’s a blaze. This includes influencing the most destructive policy decisions, to stirring up emotions with the most hateful one sided discourse, pitting communities against one another.
The path will not be short or smooth, but there will always be moments to learn and grow. I encourage everyone to stay on the road to justice. For humanity’s sake.
