Jesse offers this from Thomas Jefferson:
"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."
Responds Scott:
I respect the right of any individual or group to protest something they feel strongly about, however, the recent events that have led to these protest and demonstrations would not be seen if the individuals that inspired them had not acted in such a criminal manner. Do not attack an officer, attempt to steal his weapon, punch him in the face, or swing your arms about while slapping at the arresting officer's hands -- and you will not suffer at the hands of the officers and their weapons. I do feel every citizen has the right to video any altercation between the public and law enforcement, as this action only serves to document to true events of a situation.And John Wayne Claybaugh concludes with this:
I wish the protesters would have used blankets to cover up with. Then they could be arrested because of the camping ban.What did you think of the protest at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center?
