I don't see a thread here for good/happy news. We sure could use one. I'm going to post uplifting news stories here. Please feel free to pitch in. Here's my first one:

I love seeing this BUT. Reverse the races here, then think, what would the "news" do with that clip? If you said run it on a loop, with NO context of what happened until the city was on fire? You have it right. The news who started a riot would then pretend they had nothing to do with it. They would DOX the "good guy" though who would have to move since he would have a mob wanting to kill him and his employer would fire him since there would be a mob there waving signs. So I hope anyone who wants to do what he did stops to think first. Is it worth it?
