Demonstrator acts offensive

Fri., Dec. 26, 2014

If you believe the current acts of demonstrators are acceptable behavior, then you are mistaken. The behavior should be labeled what it really is: vandalism, destruction of innocent people’s property. Call it boorish. Call it criminal behavior; selfish, uncaring, angry people performing acts against the innocent around them.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would never have participated in activities like these. He was an honorable man; a man with respect for others as well as for himself.

These out-of-control demonstrators who talk about changing the system should look at working on changing the system of anger and hatred that is inside them driving their criminal acts of behavior.

Change around us usually happens when there is a change within us. Think about it, folks.
