Protesters are only “innocent” if they do not break the law. Arson, looting, and even illegally blocking access to roads, sidewalks and commercial establishments are all beyond the scope of legitimate protest. If you commit a crime using any of those methods you will be arrested. Should you resist arrest, measures will be rightfully used to force you to comply. Likewise if you fire ballistic weapos into someone elses soverign territory you will be dealt with accordingly. Responses are not tit for tat, you use whatever force is required establish the peace.
Yeah! Now I get it; the SMACK in the panel where they were going through the fields. Thanks for the heads-up. Guess I had better start paying more attention.
The people in charge of this program would not find this comic ridiculous. They are so convinced of the urgency of their mission they will simply dismiss any criticism as inane commentary by the great unwashed. All is lost my friends; our democracy is in a shambles with no hope of recovery. I am a faithful reader of many of the Gocomics strips because they provide a gentle distraction from the serious and disturbing news of the day
One more reason to like this strip, the reverence and appreciation the author has for the sacrifices made to keep us free.
Thank you.
