Whether either group likes it or not, both Confederate statues and statues of civil rights leaders are part of the country's heritage. There is no replacing one with the other, and history is never erased, even if there's no evidence of it.
The country's heritage is fucked up, it's not a healthy, clean heritage that's best for everybody. Really it's always been bad for people, it's always been toxic.

Bach said he was there to study/copy/emulate his brother/friend/family's compositions, when really he was there to steal/take his enemy's work and claim it as his own. It wasn't a shot across his bow, it was breaching his hull then walking up behind him undetected, and stabbing him in the heart.

An image too many full of shit people in the world go for, especially the ones that think the world is full of innocent bystanders.
The dork tried to look, sound, and act tough and insensitive every waking minute of her day, even though some of us knew her as a kid, and saw how she handled/bore physical pain when there was no attention from the media or public to be had. Back when her mother was the one she ran to for attention and first aid.

Being physically homeless for a few hours or days without being technically homeless. Your body has no place to go but you do have a home somewhere, it doesn't have to be in a city to end up going urban camping, you might live in the country.
Billy has been urban camping for a few days now, he knows he can get a cheap tent at wal mart, that boy is a damn fool. He ought to pay attention to the bus schedules so he wouldn't end up in the woods like that.

The reverse Bolton wasn't going to back down to billabong, or get weary of adversity with others, even if he didn't have an arsenal of guided missiles at his disposal.

If you go by what is likely, you'll get discouraged to the point you start to think that things that are not impossible are impossible.

What somebody is going to breathe instead of oxygen if you stick their head next to an exhaust pipe intentionally.
If a guy has a knee on his neck while his head is right near an exhaust pipe of a car, he has nothing to take in but car exhaust. Just like somebody sitting in a garage with the grage door closed and a car running. Death is from both lack of oxygen and carbon monoxide.
