Lucy Pulls the Ball on Charley Brown Again

"Lucy can only pull the ball so many times before Charley Brown punches her in the face" (Wesley Lowery on "Face the Nation" today). The murder of George Floyd challenges my pacifist soul--along with all the previous incarnations of police brutality against Afro-Americans, and along with all continuing discrimination against all other racial, ethnic, religious minorities, "essential workers," and the desperate poor. And what about Lucy? What motivates her cruelty? Shouldn't we pay attention to that, too?
