End the divisiveness.

Fat chance. Division is way easier to sell and most everyone buys it. Unity, ha! That's another story, not easily sold at all.

One person at a time, then spread the message by practicing it.

These things are strangely morphing, and it's difficult how much is to be attributed to false leads and the confusion at the time. The mention of other suspects has been scrubbed [[and I swear there were reports about another shooter immediately shot down by police).

Micah Johnson http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/micah-...acebook-video/ was a radical racist with no ties to terror networks. He was neutralized by police in what was the first use of a lethal robot [[carrying a bomb) by the police. He was military trained and strategic much like the Orlando mass murderer and the guy who was staked out at the corner in Houston for a big shootout on Memorial Day [[which-though he fired heavily-over 200 rounds-at cops then-got very little coverage by the media. The same was said for the Planned Parenthood shooter who fired on police and killed one in Colorado.). Though he posed with one of the members of Public Enemy at a signing, Professor Griff says he's being watched by the authorities even though he swears he has no ties to this guy and does not advocate cop killing.

Also under-reported was this murderous reactionary yesterday at a motel in Tennessee. http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/lakeem...photos-dallas/Though police are hesitant to say he was targeting whites and cops only.

Again, we are all going to have to work harder at being patient, forgiving, and work towards not living by blind emotional reactionary attitudes if we are all going to work for peace here.

That's pretty common - especially in urban areas with lots of buildings. The gunshots echo through the streets and can sometimes sound like they are coming from two or three different directions.

Also, human memory and perception are pretty much garbage. People think their minds record information like a video camera. It's more like a notepad - it jots down certain details, and your mind fills in the blanks when you try to remember stuff. That's how you get eyewitness accounts saying a suspect was wearing three different colored shirts, drove away, rode a bike away, and ran away from the scene. It gets worse the further away from the event, too, as your mind fills in blanks with details you hear about well afterwards.
