What..."Process of education and healing"? What would that look like because it's great rhetoric. The people who need an education are the ones protesting the guidelines (three phases) outlining what criteria needs to be realized set forth by the White House and adopted by many states,before demanding and end to stay at home restrictions. They are putting the rest of us at risk and willfully flouting the law. This is the bigger issue. A president who undermines his own advisers and experts (imagine that) while encouraging not only illegal behavior, but behavior that threatens public health and safety. Larson got caught saying something ignorant and stupid and has since apologized. It was a lesson that hit him hard in the pocket book apparently.

There were a lot of racist statements made and not once did I see Mr. Ly invite anyone to a future conversation to discuss a process of education and healing for the commenters and our community. Why is that Ly? Was it maybe because it wasn't white people making the racist comments?White Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456259518911562457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-61379315663856092662020-04-16T13:53:26.291-07:002020-04-16T13:53:26.291-07:00“Let him who is without sin among you be the first...“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”Capt.

He has apologized for his statement on-line, certainly a step in the right direction. We all make mistakes, some more egregious than others, but most mistakes after some thought, true remorse and apology may warrant a second chance. <br /><br />Larson is 27. We've all done things (perhaps not exposed to the world as was this) at his age we wish he could take back. Admitting his mistake and asking for forgiveness shows he's a better man than many in power both locally and nationally.<br /><br />Hopefully, Larson will take you up on your offer.<br /><br />You're growing up before my eyes Mr.Mayor, something to continue to build upon.Steve Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258093636767338830noreply@blogger.com
