How are you posting here if you were killed by police?

Hey, but you’ve just identified the reason for a holiday in March or April. Maybe we’ll have the “mass shooting by assault weapon” Memorial Day holiday in April and March can be the “I’m a criminal / rioter that was abused by and occasionally killed by police” holiday. Then we’ll have a holiday for every month and some will even have two. Oh wait, I forgot about August. Let’s have a holiday for the day we dropped the bomb. We’ll call it the “this is what justified, bean-counter mass murder really looks like” holiday.

Sound good?  [/quote]

I’m sure this sounded really good in your head - and you thought you were making some clever point.   It does not come across clearly.  A generous read would be that you think we have too many holidays and don’t believe that the end of human slavery in this country is worth celebrating as one.    That isn’t a good look.

Hopefully this new holiday will trigger a little more self-reflection in future generations.[/quote]
