Genuinely enjoyed and completely agreed with your post on peaceful protest. When Mark Rudd and his soldiers took up the sword against Columbia in the late '60's, I disagreed with the method (not the message). The video on tonight's national news looked exactly the same.
Thanks Doug. When my family to the South Side of Chicago in 1968, it was only a couple of weeks before the now-notorious Democratic National Convention. After it got underway, a new friend suggested we go to a nearby park and take in a demonstration. We climbed up a tree and watched it. What a sight to behold! Not violent, fortunately.

Good points made about taking the consequences for protesters who break the law.
Thanks Joanne. It's important to remember than a basic tenet of civil disobedience is that punishment is inevitable and that you must accept it.
