re: How has any of this actually affected you? Life is still good.

How has it affected me? One of my friends (ex-cop and a good man) lost his job for voicing his support for law enforcement on Facebook. All he posted was "I stand with police" along with the blue flag. He was the breadwinner of his household with a twelve and nine year old. We live in a fairly red area. Life seems to be normal here and one would think safe from the mob. But nope. How or why he was targeted is anyone's guess. So I and many others donated to a fund to help him financially. Selfish? No. Because he shouldn't have been in this position to begin with. This hits too close to home and if you think it can't happen to you, think again. If you think it's not going to get worse, think again. You're safe now, but enjoy it while you can. At the rate society is collapsing, it's only a matter of time until it does affect you.
