Regardless, I would not allow my kids to do this. Kids do not belong in the middle of this. They belong on the sidelines, either listening to or watching their parents take their stand on the front lines.

I have to respectfully disagree. These kids may provide the tipping point where adults learn from the children. Bringing water to a thirsty dying woman is not, or shouldn't be, a crime. I would love to see thousands bring her a cup of water. What could the police do?

They should provide an escort, but I doubt that they have the courage to do what's right.

It's really quite simple. Their parents either support what they're doing, or they don't.

If they do -- and the article seems to say they do -- the parents belong on the front line instead of sending the kids out to do it (otherwise, are they hiding behind their kids because they figure the authorities will be nicer to the kids? Do you think they're trying to teach the world something through their kids?).

If the parents don't support them doing this, the parents should tell their kids why, and the kids should honor their parents and stay out of it.

Yes, thousands of adults, or adults accompanied by their children. Not thousands of children going in to face the music while their parents stand on the sidelines. That's a lousy lesson more befitting the left. Of course, that's just my opinion. No hard feelings.
