She is not only ...I can only say, Keep her in jail. She is not only a threat to our society but to our community as well. Her reason stands out, “she believed that the president of the United States was calling upon her.” Too bad he didn't say jump off the bridge. When we read this "Watkins wore full tactical gear as she joined a line of Oath Keepers who pushed through the mob outside the Capitol, up the stairs, and finally inside the building." We know she is no innocent who went to a rally to protest but a person hell bent on stopping the work of Congress. I know full well that folks like her are an enemy of our people and if the barricades were erected today she would be on the other side and would not hesitate in killing anyone in the LGBTQI+ community. She is an enemy within. The other question, Why do people join a white supremacist organization that hate them? is one that has interested me for years. I look at history why in the first months after Hitler came to power before the night of the long knives, (a lesson here Ms. Watkins) did gays support the closing of the clubs, the LGBT organizations, the round up, the burning of the books? <br />I think a question that must be examined here and we must demand of the U.S prison system even if Ms. Watkins in an enemy, that she be treated with the upmost respect as a Trans woman in jail. Ill treatment of people in the prisons can not be tolerated no matter what. But if we take up this cause it must be stated that we do not in anyway support what Ms. Watkins did or what she stands for but stand with the bigger issue of human treatment of all prisoners. Of course each and everyone of us will have our own views on this. Richard Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264349950333151945noreply@blogger.com
