Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke

Well written and shared!

thank you for joining in the protests; too bad the order wasn’t reversed – it may have been nice to go to the peace of the woods after the protest…

  Maybe the peace of the woods gives someone the energy and faith with which to protest?

It frustrates me the way that some try to create the image that all protests are violent, at least when it furthers their agenda.

  yes, that is indeed frustrating to say the least, and hopefully people will not take those images as truth, and look a bit deeper into what they are seeing and why. the truth will prevail in the end
