Well, until they organize with level heads, yes, I think it'd be best to stay home instead of casting something important in such bad light. That father's cry will always be with me and echo through time. It sounds like we'd both agree on a lot, but rather whether we endorse the means and methods is where we are in disagreement.Lon, you seem to be calling out for the World to cease demonstrating for and on behalf of the BLM movement because some idiot kids who are allowed to keep military style rifles went to a road block with them and a girl got killed there.
We can, as far as society is concerned, anyway. Of course I cannot stop something in the South persay. We just don't want it to be done with violent or complicit means. We want to be responsible. Such is, I think, a no-brainer when the very lives lost are those that should have been preserved. There is no question that these young children deserved to live. Where I live in WA, the demonstrations where done with permission (I don't think permits, but the city streamlined). There were police the whole way to protect the demonstrators and the community as well as keep traffic off of certain avenues. It worked very well, so I think it can be done. Portland? Not so much. There was a lot of conflict there.The World's demonstrators did not support the killers there, just as it protests against racial bigotry. You can't stop it unless you, Lon, can convince the World that you can end bigoted arrogant hatred and harassment of people because of (either) their race, colour, religion, nationality, gender or any disabilities. So shout away for what you want........ but they won't listen. And to suggest that demonstrators are all wicked is just naive, frankly.
