I'm sure the 8 year old kid inside thought it was cool too.
When those in power choose to ignore the people they represent, then what other options are there?
Essentially you're saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.
And you're saying thise kids deserve to have their lives endangered because of whatever stupid decisions their parents are making? The kids don't have a say in anything, and they can't leave! This person was too much of a coward to take this action to wherever the councilperson works. Nobody cares about innocent lives lost anymore.
And also, the more this sort of thing happens, the less people will want to put their families in potential danger. You will get fewer good, quality people running for any office.
Maybe the kid’s parents should learn to do the right things to keep them safe
It should be obvious now what those things are
I'll say it, sometimes the FO of FA for right wingers is to lose someone. They only understand when it personally affects them in some capacity.
I keep this image saved on my phone, because it is relevant way too often:
The study asked participants to mark the farthest region from center that they cared about. For instance, marking 4 means you also care about 3, 2, and 1. Liberals largely marked high numbers near the perimeter. Things like “all sentient life” or “all life, including non-sentient”… While conservatives tended towards marking low numbers near the center. Things like “my extended family” or “my closest friends”. So yes, in fact, many of them genuinely don’t care unless it affects them (their family or closest friends) directly.
Another fun fact is that liberals scored 20 points at the highest, while conservatives scored a 12. So not only do they only care about themselves, they don't even care about the people closest to themselves as much as liberals care about people they don't know
