I have no problem with protestors, but IMO, this group, like the 2 women with their children (the little guy who got hurt the other night), are over the edge. I absolutely agree with their right to protest, though.
Many have said GA and CA should have stayed inside. I soooooooo agree. A few years ago, at 1:30 in the morning, someone knocked on our door, in a rural area of VA. Our house was 1/2 mile off the main road. Odd to see anyone there in daylight, much less the middle of the night. Well, I did answer the door. Well, peeked out. It was, believe it or not, a coon hunter who had lost his coon dog, or so he said. It was the gun he was holding in his hand that worried me. Not pointed at me; held by his side; but a long gun, nonetheless. There was just one person. Point of this whole ramble is this: Even with just one person, I saw it as a potentially dangerous situation. I did NOT go outside and talk with him. I simply walked back into the kitchen and called 911. I did NOT go outside then, to engage him while I waited for the police to arrive. I stayed inside, where it was safer.
Why do the A's feel it's wise to go outside and get back in these peoples faces? The webcam is up a lot. I don't recall seeing them go outside when there aren't protestors there. Again, I completely support the protestors' right to assemble. If the A's have a problem with it, park your cars in the garage, and come and go through the garage. If you want to have vigils, do them in the back yard. No, maybe they shouldn't have to. But, it is what it is, and things would be much safer for them if they just stayed quite. And of course, they could end the media coverage (that they initially so sought) and the protestors if they'd just send KC back to jail.
