The app for independent voices
I am going to keep saying this so that it sinks in:
The streets are not the place to fight for your civil or Constitutional rights.
Fight those battles in the courts, so that people get to keep their rights and their lives.
If you oppose what ICE is doing in Minnesota, that is your right. If you want to protest and speak out against what ICE is doing in Minnesota, that is your right. I not only support your right to speak out I applaud you for actually doing it.
HOWEVER
Violence is not speech, and riots are not protests. They have not been on college campuses and they are not on the streets of Minneapolis.
Yes, speak out. Yes, protest.
No, do not assault or attack anyone. No, do not destroy property. No, do not throw rocks or anything else. No, do not interfere with law enforcement.
People have rights. People also have brains. If people want to keep the former they need to do a lot better about using the latter.
