sadly, the 'autism community' is also deeply divided, along more than a few lines. first there's the 'born that way' and they celebrate it. I doubt any of them like Bobby because admitting the environmental exposure causation might mean they have to DO something for their kids (besides cute 'awareness memes and psych drugs). then there's us warrior moms, who have blazed our own trails out of necessity since mainstream medicine is in deep & acrimonious denial of the problem and its medical origins. the latter group is the one that Bobby resonates with but even WE are divided along political lines. but the biggest hurdle, I find, is that most of MY community is too overwhelmed and exhausted, on a daily basis, caring for our families, to put any effort into politics.
My beloved 24 year old son Jack Shockley was shot and killed August 12, 2020. There were riots for 2 nights in Indianapolis after the death of George Floyd. Our mayor did not allow our police to intervene and violence has since spiraled out of control. We now have teens killing teens in record numbers.
I invite you to come to Indianapolis on April 4 to commemorate the leadership your father provided on the tragic death of Martin Luther King Jr. We need your leadership and ability to bring people together in our hurting city. Our family was shattered when my son was killed. We mourn, our city mourns for the loss of so many. Please consider coming to Indianapolis where your father’s message continues to resonate so profoundly along with Martin Luther King. We need you, a new generation needs to hear your father’s message of peace and hope for a better tomorrow.
my deepest condolences on your horrifying loss. its all so senseless and tragic.
my oldest son is a police officer in NW Indiana and even though we are very close to the border with Chicago (I myself am less than 3 miles from the southeast side) we thankfully didn't have it too bad here. my son was not put in a position where anyone considered giving these mind-numbingly absurd 'stand down' orders. the violence and looting in downtown Chicago was in the media for a good week. folks in Portland say it went on for over a month out there! (how polite of those looters to be wearing masks! sarcasm of course)
Police in Chicago are not allowed to chase shoplifters stealing less than $1000 (I guess they're standing there with a calculator). one of my son's cop buddies actually got in trouble for chasing a shoplifter out the doors of a Walmart. Crime that pays is crime that stays so really, what is behind this bizarre agenda? there are forces at play here that truly want to destroy our society. burn it all down, regardless of the loss of life, in order to promote their "great reset". so I agree wholeheartedly - things cannot go on. people have to wake up. they can't wait for tragedies like yours to be repeated, over and over.
I am delighted that Bobby has launched a petition for the release of JFK assassination documents. First if all it spotlights the transparency issue which unites a lot of people. Second it sets Bobby apart from his political opponents— esp Biden who has, in his own words “washed his hands” of the matter, meaning he has let the CIA retain control of thousands of documents.
Re: Joe Biden and the metaphorical washing of his hands?
There is not enough soap & water in the world for his hands to be cleansed. But Joe was never the type to think "Out, out, dam'd spot!" whilst scrubbing his fingerprints off with Lava™ brand soap either, so he'll not lose any sleep over those bloodstains.
Dear Bobby, 🙏 you will apply your promises, “I’m going to bring the troops home. I’m going to close the bases. I’m going to start investing in the United States middle class and our country. I’m going to make us an exemplary democracy again.” for the myriad root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts... #1 motive of our US and Isreael governments, the need and greed and our addiction for the rights of land acquisition for gas and oil.
Thanks to Warriors Mom for her understanding comments. People are losing their children to gun violence, overdose, suicide. My son’s death was the result of failed policies that have destroyed the black family in our inner cities. Many have lost multiple family members to this epidemic of despair. RFK Jr - you are uniquely qualified to lend your voice. My son’s death has led me on a journey I never expected at a time in my life I never expected. This epidemic of despair is accompanied by an epidemic of indifference by those not immediately affected.
Thank you, Warrior Mom. I love your fight for your child. Losing my son to gun violence has been the heaviest cross I could imagine. Like you, I fight for my child- for the abandoned children of our city who have no where to go for community- they turn to guns, to gangs to drugs to find meaning - leading to the shooting of many innocents like my son.
As Maximilian Kobe says- INDIFFERENCE is the poison of our times.
Hope this all works out for the best, for RFK Jr. AND all the rest of us, even the latest "agency" & State Dept. encouraged flowerings of neo fascists, various CIA/Pentagon startup money funded amoral tech billionaires, all those trust fund baby idle rich scions of various gilded age robber barron clans and even those greasy, waffle snapping BELGIANS. You all know who you are, I think your lives are just as sacred as those of people I actually like. Go be your best selves...
But after 60+ years of seeing anyone getting some electoral traction in attempting to bring about positive changes to our late stage crony corporatist capitalism "Business As Usual" paradigm in the USA get just unaccountably dead somehow, gee, aw, shucks, whodathunkit, these things just happen sometimes? Or burned down by the Main Stream Media in concert declaring them unelectable because they raised their voice in a noisy room? Or getting betrayed by their own party hierarchy who prefer to field an unelectable neoliberal sock puppet in preference to a voter attractive but mildly socialist sounding middle of the road, semi empathetic dude who might have actually won? Etc., etc., ad nauseum? I expect RFK Jr. to get mysteriously dead or just shafted real hard.
I will watch and take notes. See you all on the other side-

Re the Warfare State, I'm glad Bobby got independent of the DNC. If he got independent of AIPAC, Palestinian children would be grateful.
