How is it that people I grew up with blasting songs like "Fuck the Police" with, are now on social media posting awful things about the protesters? What has made their mind change so much, when we have lead extremely similar lives? I still kind of feel like if I sat down and talked to them, they would get it, because they used to. But sadly I realize its probably just too late for that. So do i jeopordize a long standing friendship over politics? It's not something I've ever been willing to do, I'm typically loyal to the death as long as it is mutual, differences be damned. But I feel like its my duty speek up right now so it may just be a bridge I have to cross.
