The problem is there is no middle ground. As soon as I say everyone has the right to assemble and protest, I'm called one thing from one side or something else from the other. I don't agree with most things people protest about, but I do believe people have the right to peaceful protest. BLM, lgbt, alt right, anti trumpers or whatever.

Agreed.

I agree it can be hard to not pick sides when one has strong opinion/belief in the topic of discussion.

Well who else is going to March for sheep's rights.

Dear Greg T:

ANSWER: The lamestream media didn't have an agenda to bring down Barack Hussein Obama.

No, that was the extreme right. And of course Mitch.

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOICE AN OPINION AND EXPRESS A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW. I DO NOT THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO "PROTEST". THAT WORD IN ITSELF IS ANTAGONISTIC. ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD, "PEACEFUL PROTEST". BULLSHIT. AND CARRYING SIGNS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. THAT ALSO SEEMS ANTAGONISTIC.

Yes, maybe it should have been a town hall meeting with the leadership with no "protesters". The other side would have the chance to do the same thing.

When things get unorganized it gets ugly. I think they said that everyone there for the rally was supposed to enter from one side of the park, and that didn't happen.

You literally don't even have a clue that these two sentences are mutually exclusive, do you?

Well now they are trying to get people fired at their jobs for this. Should be interesting.

 

[livespive]

They have been able to do this for a while...

Although it wasn't KKK related. They use the "at will" excuse now.
Back in the day it was the "Moral conduct" clause that they used.

If you look close, it is in that paperwork that you sign when you start a job.

I''m for peaceful protest also. However, when you go armed with baseball bats and brass knuckles it seems difficult to maintain that your objective is peaceful. It also doesn't help that you march around at night with torches chanting Nazi slogans.

Blut und Boden. Yeah, I hear all my peace loving friends say this a lot.

... and then there's the peace-loving people who shout "ALLAH AKBAR!"

Maybe they thought it was a luau?


It's not just the supremists either. Earlier this year

The anti-fa crowd gets violent also.

THATS WHAT I MEANT BY CARRYING SIGNS. BUILT IN WEAPONS POSING AS "PROTESTING".
