Jukeman- I am against violent protest and have never been involved in any public protest. However I do enjoy voicing my first amendment rights for my distain for corruption. You ever risked your life for the defense of the Constitution or someone else’s freedom? I have for the last 20 years.
Likewise, I have not ever participated in public protest. I served in the military but was never in a combat zone. My service time was spent in the area of weapons research and testing but that was about 40 years ago. The changes since my time have been monumental.
