        The difference between then and now is getting blurred by the hour. What a disgrace. We have not learned a damned thing as a society.

        Replying to @BeschlossDC

        many of the people attacking these peaceful protesters are still alive. Wonder how they feel now? Have they shame for their actions? Or are they still filled with hate?

        You should update your history with the assaults at the Waffle House. 1955 is now again.

        I wonder how many of these attackers have passed their racism & hate on. On to their children and grandchildren who might now be police officers, judges, DAs, senators & congressmen/women, Starbucks & Waffle House employees, Yale students, a neighbor down the street, etc etc ...
