RE: US Attorney General is confusing fictional statutes and regulations with Spiritual, Natural Law.

in #ungrip7 years ago

God bless Jeff Sessions, he is a very brave man, hopefully he remains steadfast and true to his duty to enforce the laws. So you don't think there are any circumstances where kids should be taken from their parents?

Sort:  

We have failed the parents and the young. The violence within the families is due to a complete breakdown in our traditional family structures that manifested from colonization. We were never meant to raise our young by ourselves. Raising young was a clan or even a tribe activity. Taking kids away with violence only perpetuates that cycle. Instead, we need to engage at a completely different level to not only help the young but help all the members of the tribe to work through these problems. Violence is not the answer.

You didn't answer my question.

Indeed I did answer the question. Work harder to comprehend what I just said.

Ok, it sounded like a "no", is that a "no"? So if someone is raping or starving their children then they should not have their children removed from them?

I answered that question already. The community needs to step up and help them all. But who wants to get involved these days? These scenarios are a symptoms of a much deeper issue ... the breakdown of our families, clan, tribes and nations. Those need to be rebuilt so that people know what to do when problems arise within our families AND the support is there to deal with it in a loving way. This is not a 'yes' or 'no' aka black & white type response. The black and white thinking is more in line with colonial, statist type thinking. Spirit does not work in this way.

The people harming others are themselves hurting. They need healing and protecting just as much as the children do. The solutions to end the violence will NOT be found by taking kids away. Will interventions be required? Obviously. But my first response is not to engage in violence to answer other peoples violence. There are peaceful, active, loving things that can be done to help everyone involved and end the violence. We cannot answer violence with violence. We must answer violence with peace, love, compassion, understanding, healing, freedom and empathy. Otherwise we just perpetuate the violence. Taking kids away from their parents is cultural genocide. But the state or those who support the state does not seem to have a problem with that.

No, fuck people who hurt their kids. You can have compassion for them, that's your choice. I think they should be executed. Lets send a bunch of child rapists to live in your neighborhood and see how you like having them around your kids.

No, fuck people who hurt their kids. You can have compassion for them, that's your choice. I think they should be executed. Lets send a bunch of child rapists to live in your neighborhood and see how you like having them around your kids. Some cultures, those that permit child abuse, should be destroyed. There is no place for those cultures.

An extreme attitude my friend. Did you know that I was once a very abusive dad myself? I did not sexually abuse my kids, but I did engage in emotional and mental abuse. It was through the compassion and confrontation of my community that I surrendered my old ways to learn how to have a much healthier relationship with my self, my wife, kids, family and friends. I worked for YEARS to reconcile my relationship with them all and now I stand here as an advocate for peace, freedom, tough love, prosperity, love and compassion. I know that people can be healed and helped. How many people are willing to write people off like me and execute them? I am deeply saddened by your black and white view of these issues.

I also find it interesting that this conversation started with you asking about kids being taken from their parents but now you justify the behaviour by sending a bunch of child rapists to live in my neighbourhood. If any such people moved in, I would physically put myself between the abuser and those being abused. I've done it in the past when I stood between a 300lb physically abusive man and his wife & 8 kids. I would do it again in a heart beat. That is what it means to be in a family, clan or tribe. While you may not be able to relate to what I speak of, I do know that what I do works and I've helped protect many kids as a result ... without having to resort to violence to take them away or get the state involved. There are options ... if people are willing to get involved and participate in the solutions. I refuse to let the state do that job as it does a horrible job doing it. I rebuke you or your lack of compassion to help everyone. Your views sadden my greatly. If you ran the government I would have been killed in 2000 and we would not be having this conversation. That is a horrible thought. I pray that your heart softens so that you can find within yourself the capacity to look past the violence and start to address the root causes of these issues. We are not to judge these people but instead help them. How Creator judges us will be based on our actions in this life time. I choose non-violence as it forces me to be creative to solve the problems we face peacefully rather than resorting to violence. Violence is NOT the answer.

Mental and verbal abuse, while harmful, probably would not be a capital offense. The ballot initiative I would like to propose would be for those convicted of child rape. I think that's a good place to start.

The problem with vigilantism is the lack of oversight or for the victims to defend themselves. That's why its better for the state to do it. I want them to be executed after a fair trial, vigilantes don't provide due process.
