The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

As long as they're not pointing them, or especially firing them, it's still peaceful.
One big point of the protests is that Constitutionally protected rights are being infringed. Acting in a way that demonstrates Second Amendment protections as well as First Amendment protections is fine and good.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Perhaps that is not a bad idea...given the (poor) quality of leadership we have at the federal level.

Based on the data at:https://ourworldindata.org/coronavir...WE+GBR+ESP+CHN This link shows my added countries to the graphs. If this one does not work us this: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus?country
Most countries are in the recovery portion of COVID 19 infection curve. Some countries like Russia that were infected late are still rising in the number of confirmed cases. I have watch the USA, but it appears we are over the second hump and continuing to decline.
We can follow the guidelines, and reduce the infections and deaths among the elderly and vulnerable, but the COVID 19 deterines the over all curve and it is predicable base on comparing different countries and regions of the world, by the factors previously described and noted in the reference provided.Last edited by shunyadragon; 05-05-2020, 10:15 PM.
