I had an entire blog post outlined in my head.  Last night, hubs and I had a date night at Movie Tavern (only one of my favorite places ever!).  Hubs picked the film (his criteria was that it was something we hadn’t seen before because it’s new – otherwise I don’t think he would have chosen what we saw).  I left floating on a cloud of happiness and deep empathy for my twenty-something self.

But today, justice was not served in our country in the case of Breonna Taylor.  And it enrages me, it galvanizes me, and it illustrates the deep, ingrained racism in our country and our justice & legal system.  I don’t have much to say other than I am once again appalled at my country and what is proclaimed by some to be justice.  It is not justice.  It is an abomination.  A woman, asleep in her bed, shot multiple times by police who entered her home without cause, or a warrant or even a knock.  Police officers who shot her multiple times and still have their jobs.  They are stlll entrusted to represent safety and protection of this country’s citizens.  And her family mourns the loss of a young woman who did nothing wrong.

I don’t feel safe.  And I have white skin.  And live in an affluent county.  I feel betrayed.  Again.

That’s all I have to say right now.
