Apparently you missed this ..
Kearn the art of the "slig Shot" it took down a big Giant.
“I am for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.” – Thomas Jefferson
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.
Andrew Jackson
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." JFK
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.” ~Thomas Jefferson~
"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." Declaration of Independence.
Until I know more, I'll take the high road and say the President of the U.S. wouldn't promote lawlessness. Civil protest is a long-standing valid expression of free speech.
