Well written and deeply explains the horrors and the problems we all face. I would just like to note that the man killed was Alex Pretti (according to all the reports I've read), not Petti.

I just hope I have the courage that the people of Minneapolis do when they arrive in my town.

Thank you Sherryl.

Thank you for this article. Just want to mention a correction in the first paragraph. He died on Saturday, not Thursday.

His name is Pretti, not Petti. Please correct.

Well said. And so sad.

My parents fled the Nazis and were always mindful of the safety US Democracy provided to our family. I am grateful they died before this frightening chapter in US history.

Yes - we resist. And - there are no guarantees about the outcome.

Beautifully written, with deep memory and care for truth, justice, and compassion. Thank you. This lot has issued a burn order for the Constitution and social norms, but by pulling together we can and will turn the tide. More people are waking up and becoming upstanders and visible allies.

Thank you, Sherrilyn. I'm writing my elected reps every ding-dang day. We're in this together, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters.

This is an incisive review of context and events that preceded the killing of Alex Pretti.
