Disrespect for president

Thu., June 29, 2017

As I was watching the news, I saw a very disturbing situation of a balloon-like figure of our president. People were coming by and literally kicking his lower extremities and thinking it was funny.

What on earth has become of America? You may not like the things that our president is doing or stands for, but whatever happened to a thing called respect? I saw kids coming by and “kicking” and even adults! Is this really necessary to make fun and disrespect the president of the United States!

May God have mercy on all of us!
