Something demonic rose up that night. It rises everyday and stays awake every night. It never rests nor sleeps. It is something disturbing in the person of a Sandra McElroy or a Darren Wilson or any "politely" cordial neighbor or co-worker or any flag-waving, good-American patriot. It is something dismissed as inconsequential, to be avoided, hushed up, even while it continues to sway the one dismissing, one avoiding, and the one begging for silence, please!
It is always a fabrication--but with real consequences to its victims--even to those who employ it, as did McElroy, Wilson, the prosecutor's, the corporate media, to assure themselves that the use of violence is necessary when the demonic rises.
Unfortunately, how does a country, proclaiming to be a just nation, yet, always finding itself confronted with charges of injustice--violence--how does this country that can only respond to every national and international demand from the Black and Brown to be treated as human beings with violence, how does such a country begin to recognize the origins of its demonic hauntings?
Justice is scary!
