Are we going to talk about that thing that no one's talking about

My unpolitical take on this.
Our country is in a sad state of affairs. Once again, for the umpteenth time a man was killed for standing in the wrong place at the wrong time all in the name of hate.
Why, why does hate and violence take precedence over peace and at least an attempt at unity?
I am struggling to quit smoking and I swear I could be more successful if we could learn how to stop all the f×××××g hate.
I can't see to type anymore so I will say peace to all of you and back out now.
