Protests that were done in Washington on Inauguration Day…

REGARDING THE PROTESTS INDIVIDUALS DID ON INAUGURATION DAY: There was of course a call for and a march on Washington and protests on Inauguration Day. Some stated that they want to “shut down” the Inauguration completely, as they do not want to see President Elect Trump become our next President. Fortunately for ALL and I really mean that, we have a Constitution that protects the expression of protest and free speech for ALL. The reason why that is such an important part of the Constitution is that under such guidelines, ALL viewpoints can be heard – protestors from all viewpoints can express themselves fully. Where the Constitution does not protect individuals is, for example, when they plan and do a protest with the expressed goal of completely derailing the Inauguration. They are NOT protected when they start to violate the law by blocking roads, making a level of noise that prevents those that want to see and hear the Inauguration, from seeing and hearing it, or other acts of violence, looting etc. They ARE free to do these acts of course, as long as they are willing to “pay the price” of whatever fines and or imprisonment comes with the illegal act they have committed. But I would say to any protestors that demonstrated in Washington on Inauguration Day: wouldn’t your protest have represented your side much better if it was done WITHIN the spirit of allowing for ALL voices to be heard in the debate? Not just one side? And this – if we are going to succeed as a country, I believe that despite our differences, that we MUST sit down at the “board room meeting of this country” TOGETHER and work out how we are going to solve the problems of this country which we can ALL agree on, such as we MUST get illegal drugs out of our society…we must have less crime…we must educate our young people properly…these we can all agree on and IF we do not find a way to work together to solve these types of problems…we WILL fail…
