Yea I agree. Neither of the two actions were great. I just want everything to go back to normal and this includes those activist refusing to pack up their bags.
I walked, literally, from the Liberty Bell to the Capitol Building in Washington, DC over a period of 9 days with others back in 2016.
We sat on the Capitol steps, sang patriotic songs, had nice chats with the Capitol police. Each day we were arrested, would pay our $50 USD fine and return to the Capitol steps the following day.
No pepper spray, no cursing the police, peaceful civil demonstration against the McCutchen vs. FEC decision.
We were a mixture of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Bernie Burners, Green party. You name it, we had them. I belong to no political party myself. I don't believe in them.
I no longer join in demonstrations, nor will I ever align myself with any group, though I may support some.
Violence, no matter what the reason, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I do not have the temperament for diplomacy, but I believe that is the proper way regardless.
