Thoughts. 1. They are following the whims of a criminal that is trying to keep local law enforcement off guard to create chaos and confusion. 2. To make ordinary folks too scared to respond. 3. They are appealing to or acting out Trump's fantasy of being all powerful.

This is not a debate about the existence of God. It is about us and our ethics. The thoughts and prayer thing is the justification of bad behavior and the status quo. Prayer or meditation or discussion of a problem is supposed to change us and result in action.

If you look at Snoop Dog's history of arrests for violence and drug crime, the lyrics of his music, and other behaviors. It is clear that Snoop shares the same ethic about rules do not apply to him and he is a violent man.

Decision making is a cognitive activity. It involves evaluation of the situation, one's prior experience, possible outcomes and ones sense of ethics. This happens on the left side of our brains. It is a rational activity.

Emotion is important. Basically it tells us whether our experiences are good or bad. Emotions give us an opportunity to adjust and make needed changes in our lives. Emotions live in the right side of our brains. And they are not great at making decisions.

Interesting response. It appears you are addicted to THC. Research shows that when kids start using THC on a regular basis, they become stuck at that emotional developmental level. It has nothing to do with being a bigot, racist or pedophile.
