Protesters
I am so angry and upset about what I am seeing on the TV about these proteters at the RNC. I am upset about the treatment of the police and that these people feel it is their right to be so destructive and disobedient to our laws and society. This is NOT freedom speech; this is violence and against the law. How do we explain this behavior to our

My BIL is one of those law-enforcers out there on the front lines, in full riot gear. And seeing what I saw on tv last night makes me more scared than I ever thought I'd be. Honestly, what do these protesters expect to accomplish?? What is their goal? Do they even have one, other than to wreak havoc? If they'd just stop and think logically, this convention is specifically the beginning of change. And change is what they want! So why all the violence? Whether they're dems (like me) who'd prefer to see the other side win or not, 2 people are in the process of trying to get the job as President, and when one of them wins, change WILL happen. Sigh...it has to, given the current commander-in-chief has practically run us into the ground.
Regardless of what party you are, things like the DNC and the RNC are there to spark change. They are necesssary if you want things to get better. And to cause such a mess, with really no goal in mind (because really...do these rioters actually think they're going to change anything?) is dangerous, and irresponsible. The smart among us (like you and me) watch. And we listen. And we learn. Then when we've made our decisions...we VOTE. Sure, we make judgements and state our opinions among ourselves. Heck, my close circle of friends take great pleasure at throwing tapeballs at the idiots and their idiotic comments during the debates. We get our aggressions out too. But they're tapeballs aimed at a television. Harmless. We don't cause trouble. And we don't put anyone in harm's way. And we especially do not take for granted or abuse the privaleges that soldiers RIGHT NOW are dying (DYING) to protect. Remember them? Does it make those protesters feel good to disrespect them this much? If so, then they do not make me angry. I choose not to waste any of my energy getting angry at the irresponsible. Instead, they have my pity.
