Must Read Post by Enigma4Ever

Are We Losing Our Humanity?

Enigma has a way with words - and a great deal of compassion for others. This story - the story of Carol Ann Gotbaum is haunting, and terrifying. Please take the time to read it through carefully.

Here are a few articles and videos that I found to go along with Enigma's Post.

Think long and hard folks. Someone commented on Enigma's Post about a Police State - and I agree. Remember everybody, October 22nd is Protest Police Brutality Day - Stand up Ladies and Gentlemen, Stand Up and Stand Proud - to defend our rights not to die handcuffed in a detention room at the hands of excessive force and lack of common sense or decency.

No problem Enigma.

Anony - I agree with you. I was thinking of a quote that would fit this story well. I can't remember who said it originally,

"We must all fear Evil men. But there is another Evil which we must fear most - and that is the indifference of good men."

I know its said in Boondock Saints - but I think its a quote from someone else originally.
