I don’t want “therapy”. I think the concept is shit.

in other words, you refuse to get help. So don’t say “I don’t refuse to do anything”.

No, I said I don’t want therapy. I think my second statement makes clear that I don’t see it as “help”.

Your letters highlight that you have no idea what really happened.

that is correct, I don’t know what happened. No one does, yet the media(at least the local news that I was watching) acts like it does know what happened and that what happened was racism.

Wouldn’t that be a justification for writing to the media, rather than writing to the people in the story? Maybe I’m missing something.

I suppose I could have written to the media. I just decided to write the people involved.

btw, you do understand I didn’t really send them letters, right?

To be fair, it’s expensive; they only know about you what you want them to know; you only get an hour at a time to talk;
and they only (pretend to) care about you so long as you pay them.

I would say a better solution is to have a friend to talk to about stuff like that, but I’m one to talk because I don’t have one of those either.

You asked for opinions regarding your letters, I gave mine. Whether you actually sent them or not, wouldn’t affect my opinion of their content.

Exactly! Thank you, that’s what I’ve been saying for a long, long time.

Me neither.

Friends are good, but they don’t necessarily know about the things psychology/psychiatry that a therapist would know.

Not all therapists are psychologists or psychiatrists.

True, but many are. I am pretty that those whom are not, are required to at least get some training in psychology/psychiatry.

Disgusting hypocrite Ben Shapiro rides the fence and says it’s kind of okay to try to get James Gunn fired because he’s on “the Left”. What a fucking a hypocrite. You can’t complain nonstop about PC culture and then be in favor of it when people you don’t like get fired. Why does anyone follow these rightwing hypocrites? They are so painfully full of shit!

There’s a quote in there from the sheriff that encapsulates why I hate cops and it’s “I don’t make the law. I enforce the law.” That’s disgusting. That was more or less the same logic behind the defense of the Nazis at Nuremberg Trials. If you are enforcing unjust and bullshit laws, then you’re part of problem.

So you want cops to decide for themselves which laws are just and unjust? You really want cops to decide for themselves which laws they are going to enforce and which they are not? You really want to give cops that much power? I thought you didn’t like cops, I thought you didn’t trust them? You do realize that cops won’t always agree with you on which laws are just/unjust and which laws should be enforced, right?

I will say however that I having difficulty seeing how “stand your ground” justifies this shooting.

The situation of the holocaust was an extreme. “I don’t make the law. I enforce the law.” is the way it works. Our elected representatives make the laws, not cops. Its called democracy. Does this mean there are no extreme circumstances where a cop should disregard a certain law/decide not to enforce a certain law? No. But for the most part, I don’t think we want cops to decide which law to enforce. Please remember the law is not a suggestion or advice.

Another thing to remember is even if the sheriff did arrest the guy, “stand your ground” would be bound to come up in court. Would you want the judge to just ignore the law as well?
