    Let's say you and the love of your life were eating at a restaurant when a riot broke out on the street the restaurant was located ... and let's say one or more of the protesters decided to envade your private space and take a seat at your table and begin sampling your french fries ... just what would you do and why????

    "Need some salt or ketchup?"

    Matthew 5: 41 "And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."

    What were we before the Lord came to us?... Rebellious, protesters, sinners, unholy, unregenerate, ect, ect, ect... Who knows, somewhere down the line, the Lord may bring him as he brought us... And what does the Lord say about enemies?... Brother Glen:)

    Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

    12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

    12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

    Civil society has general rules that are generally followed by believers and non believers alike.

    Peace to you

    Since the replies take a passive, scriptural response, how far will you allow law and order to be ignored before you will take a stand, resulting in violence if needed to protect your loved ones? If these unregenerate thugs invade your private residence and sit at your table eating your french fries, are you going to offer them ketchup?

    I have not attained that level of spiritually. While if you offend me, I might turn the other cheek, not so if you offend my family or friends.

    I don't know. Since even before the pandemic, nearly all eateries stopped having glass ketchup bottles at the tables........ what do we use now?

    Those wouldn't spill any blood from the invader's head; just give a silly false sense that you have, anyway.

    Pay my bill and leave with as little interaction as possible because civil authorities, who are responsible for maintaining public peace and safety, have failed to keep their oath of office.

    While the advertisements on TV falsely portray mixed race interaction as normal, it is in fact social engineering and is proven false by the real social interaction of these thugs.

    Brother Wesley . . . you get the award for hitting this out of the park. You nailed it. None of us are really safe, so if faced by such a situation, we would have no alternative then to pay the bill and find another restaurant somewhere far, FAR from that place.

    You are so correct in stating that our public officials have failed to do as the oath they swore to do is being ignored for reasons that only those folks can honestly answer. As retired, 40 year civil servant, I took seriously the oath I swore to, and I would not have permitted such public bullying to take place under my watch.

    THANKS WES, FOR A SOLID ANSWER. i WISH i HAD MORE OF AN WARD TO GIVE YOU, BUT KNOW THIS, YOU VOICED FRUSTRATION THAT I AM SURE MILLIONS OF OTHER GOOD Americans are feeling too;, and even growing angrier over. Truly, the church needs to get on its knees and pray until this current public disruption finds a peaceful way yo end. Shalom Wesley!
