Lest people think that 2020 was only about Covid-19, lockdowns, and economic disaster, don’t forget about the protests, riots, and escalating exhibits of rage.
The triggering event was the death of George Floyd. He was killed during an arrest on May 25th in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The entire thing was caught on video. It had all the potential to be a turning point with regard to police brutality and race – the nation was riveted and outraged.

Some of it can be put down to winter. Just like armies of old, going home/into encampment during the winter is usually a smart plan. Leave it to the Germans and Russians to try and fight in below freezing weather.
ReplyDeleteI read many years ago that some of the Germans got drunk on their Schnaps and committed suicide. Can't imagine how miserable they were.
