The attempted coup

 The farce on January 6,2021, was an attempted overthrow of our government.  It was treason.  And those involved are being treated with kid gloves.  Come on 3 months, 30 days or probation for trying to destroy a country.  We have people in prison right now for selling marijuana. Selling weed that actually hurts no one.  And many of those people are in prison for years.  Ask yourself this:  If that had been black people, or hispanic people attempting to overthrow the government, would this be the scenario?  No, Hell no.  They would have been mowed down like weeds.  And those that survived would be facing execution.  But because they were white middle class, they get a slap on the wrist and an invitation to try again.  My father's generation, the WW2 generation, would not have stood for this.  There would be hangings over this.  But we have the no-child-left-behind generation, the "I'm not responsible for my actions" generation.  The "laws don't apply to me cause I'm special" generation.  This mess has been created because children were allowed to throw fits at school, spit on teachers, steal and the parents rewarded them for it. 

One of my experiences with this entitlement: a couple of years ago, I was picking up my grandson at school.  There is a drive thru where cars line up 2 deep and wait.  The car in front of me, an expensive brand, the woman got out, locked the care, went into the school and got her kid.  She comes out, puts said kid in the car, walks back to my car and informs me I will back up and let her out.  I'm nope, you should not have parked there.  It is for pick up.  She told me I need to mind my own business.  I rolled up my window.  She approached the 4 cars behind me and told them they have to back up.  They did.  She came back by my car to hers, started it and looked to me to move.  I did not.  I refused to let her get away with her entitlement.  And no she was not white, but a well to do Hispanic.  You will find entitlement in all races, but only in the whites will you find the level of entitlement we saw on January 6.  And if this farce of punishment is allowed to end this, we will see this again.  Oh, and I am white, by the way.  I loathe entitlement in any race.
