Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I get your perspective. I just don't agree. The response has depended on good documentation, and clear innocence. Even Good didn't inspire this kind of response. Pretti is someone who clearly had the capacity to do harm, being armed, and yet didn't even draw. He couldn't even vaguely be conceive of as "armed", unlike Good (regardless of how much of a stretch that was). And Pretti was filmed from multiple angles by people who were, by the way, organized and galvanized due to events involving Floyd, Garcia, and Martinez.
Aside from that - I knew where this was going when dubya hit office. But I understand people trying their best to make things work, and knew it would take a lot to get the ball rolling, particularly with the naive bent on the "left". ..and I understand that people of any color will believe whatever fits their world view. If they're wrong (and we all are, to some degree), some are lucky enough to have a willingness to grow, or to have that world view break. The rest live in their assumptions and pay the psychological and physical price for their views until they're dust.
Good luck out there.
