Some protesters have weak reasons for their actions

Some people seem to think that if justice is not to their liking, then it is not justice. “Stop lying, we want revenge” they cry.

What kinds of justice would satisfy them, I wonder? What kind of community values is this guy quoting, I wonder again. This is not the kind of values anyone I know would put forth. I trust the local law to do what it does best; protect me and mine from those who would thieve and expect to not be brought to justice. I applaud our local officers who try to keep us safe. If these protesters were in trouble and called 911, who would they like to respond?

Why should a dissatisfied group be allowed to keep people from going to and from work or play, for that matter, to protest their own warped sense of what justice should or should not be? I will not forget talking to a young man who took part in some of the riots in the Philippines. I asked him why he took part. He said it was fun! That was his only reason. I think for some people who take part in our own demonstrations that is the only reason.

They have a reason to shake a finger at society and have no penalty for it. This whole thing make me frustrated and angry.

A few years ago there was anarchy going on. It was destroyed and forgotten. History repeats itself, some say.
