Crazy redneck people doing crazy things

“He in there, Mr. Finch?” a man said. “He is,” we heard Atticus answer, “and he’s asleep. Don’t wake him up.” In obedience to my father, there followed what I later realized was a sickeningly comic aspect of an unfunny situation: the men talked in near-whispers. “You know what we want,” another man said. “Get aside from the door, Mr. Finch.”

This quote happens when a bunch of drunk rednecks surround the county jail, to try and murder Tom Robinson before he got to trial, and is related to how Robert Dear recently shot three people and injured nine in a shooting targeting planned parenthood. These situations are similar because both involve men shooting to attempting to shoot someone based on race, or in the recent case, using planned parenthood.
Dear is sexist and a part of the patriarchy because he is attempting to destroy the reproductive rights of women, as shown by him attacking an abortion clinic.

  1. I like how you were the one that I saw who entered the link. You kept your blog short but inormative. You also went right into the topic. I wish there was more to write and had explained the news situation more. But I liked your blog al lot can't wait to see your next blog.
