[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

Trauma responses, like fight, flight, freeze, flop, & fawn, tend to mirror the stages of grief-- denial (flight), anger (fight), bargaining (fawn), and depression (freeze).

That's not a coincidence.

The man who killed Jordan Neely wasn’t protecting himself. He was empowered by a cultural movement that has normalized regular citizens deputizing themselves as judges and executioners in the name of white supremacy. Infamously this also happened in another period of US history
