My $0.02 I have no problem with anyone peacefully marching, rallying, protesting anything they want. My issue is with the counter-protests; especially when your goal is to silence your opposition. We do not need citizens policing citizens on this scale. If they are doing anything illegal or promoting violence/discrimination then the proper authorities should intervene. We have seen was the results of these confrontations can be.
Yesterday Dill and I were having a back and forth and he brought up The Greensboro Massacre. After reflecting on the incident I see that as the route we are currently traveling down and it will explode again. If you look at the Greensboro incident on its surface it is easy to say the KKK were at fault here. I mean who could defend armed KKK members shooting folks just because they are against discrimination. However, if you look more closely you see the self-proclaimed "communists" had actually attacked at a klan meeting earlier, all but begged the klan to come to their rally for a beatdown, and attacked as soon as the klan pulled up in their cars. So who to blame becomes a little less black and white*
* Disclaimer: The in no way suggests I support the klan or their idealology, I don't think it's OK for white people to shoot black people because of skin color, I am not definitively saying the communists were to blame, I only used the term Communists because that is what they referred to themselves as, I did not kick any puppies this morning, these statements do not constitute racism,
