It took seconds for partisans to point fingers of blame, without evidence at #SirDavidAmess' death

My voice is as lost in this invective drone as is the true evidence:

A politic which celebrates lies over truth creates its own tribalism where hate & violence triumph over reason

This crime is not done to us.

It is done by us.

And it is the result of what we have created.

Which is why the partisans are already finding others to blame for a tragic accident they have created with their tribalism

Until they are stopped things will continue to get worse

Just watch as hatred is now celebrated and more fingers are pointed.

Before we know it more, even less effective laws will be passed to grab headlines.

Those laws will do nothing to solve the problem since they will be based on the hate they inspire not the evidence they ignore

Kipling:

In Remembrance of a Dead Statesman
#SirDavidAmess

I could not dig:
I dared not rob:

Therefore I lied to please the mob.

Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.

What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
