Jacobs Article: My PTSD and Hatred (What’s Going on in the USA?)

I am reposting a blog by my nephew Jacob Persico. His blog resonates with the trauma, pain and difficulties that the present attacks on American Citizens is having on all of us. Even with close friends, we can see the divide deepening as people take sides on the issues. People whom we could once disagree with on minor issues like who is the greatest quarterback of all time or what is the best movie ever made are now facing issues of literally life and death. It is very difficult to continue relationships and friendships when we now start thinking of them as evil and us as good. No right thinking person can so easily divide the population into such simple camps. Thus, all of the people face the pain and guilt as we try to navigate the boundaries of morality, ethics, legality and simple self-interest. My nephews blog puts a spotlight on these problems as seen by one man but no doubt embraced by many other people.
