There’s too muc violence to even absorb. It’s soul crushing. But re law enforcement attacks on and arrests of journalists, I keep thinking of what Gov Walz said when apologizing for the unjust and frankly idiotic arrest of @OmarJimenez and his crew... 1/3
2/ “The issue here is trust. The community there that’s terrorized by this, if they see a reporter being arrested, the assumption is that something’s going to happen that they don’t want to be seen. And so that is unacceptable.”
3/ these attacks are unjust and hideous for any number of reasons including violations of First Amendment protections but that stuck with me.

"Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green
Are the Souls of all dead Troopers camped,
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers’ Green...
2/ "Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green...
3/ "Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene.
No Trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he’s emptied his canteen.
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers’ Green...

My freshman history professor James Wright (a Marine in Vietnam) reminds me of LCpl Darwin Judge, 19, an Eagle Scout who arrived in Vietnam the month before he died.
And also of Corporal Charles McMahon, former Woburn MA “Boy of the Year”
* My professor corrects me: he did not serve in Vietnam. He enlisted in 1957 at age 17 and served until 1960. Was deployed to the territory of Hawaii and to Japan for backup during the Quemoy/Matsu crisis of 1958.
