These kids may provide the tipping point where adults learn from the children.

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.

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.

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.

"Not thousands of children going in to face the music while their parents stand on the sidelines."

You're assuming that the aprents weren't cuffed and stuffed into the paddy wagon with their kids.

Maybe the MSM manipoulated the situation to their addvantage by ONLY running with the pics of the kids.

Cause the most dramatic polarizing effect they could and such....

From the article, dad was arrested too. Mom was on the sidelines. I think that was a strategic move so that she could record what was happening if somehow it got ugly, but also to provide bail or arrange for an attorney.

This was a family effort.
