What did the Christmas tree do to the protesters?

Maybe one or two of you who support the protesters can explain to me what the demonstrators had against the city Christmas tree? What is wrong with just having a PEACEFUL protest, and not allowing your group to act like animals and thugs?

PERSONALLY, I think protesters would be better received if they, first of all, didn't march down the street, BLOCKING traffic (maybe a permit to march on public streets would be useful, too)! Secondly, didn't turn what is supposed to be peaceful into something less than peaceful, by vandalizing public and private property! Third and most importantly, didn't shout their inflammatory, hateful chants! These protests are about as lawful and civilized as those living in America illegally think they are law abiding because they haven't broken any laws since crossing our borders to get here in the first place?

People have become anarchists, and then they wonder why the majority of Americans are just plain fed up!

How about it folks ...... can't you do it legally? Or does it always have to turn into an act of civil disobedience and in most cases, become destructive? The adage that "You Get More With Sugar Than You Do With Vinegar" still holds true! Does that hold true for you?

 

First of all ... I see you are new to the forum; so, in Jesus, I welcome you to the family.

Secondly, your depiction of the "lynch mob" mentality is 'spot on!' There is so much hate in the world today, that I am deeply concerned for the children being raised today. So much evil, hate and sin. I don't know if it is more than ever before, but having been on this planet for close to seven-decades now, I can honestly say, it seems worse than I can recall.

Thanks for sharing. Shalom!
