Violence in Protests

Violence in Protests
by Wayne King

Violence in protests is exactly what Steve Bannon and the other racist, xenophobic AltRight gang want. Even though the incidents represent a very small minority of the people who have been speaking out against the Trump administration or the AltRight forces their actions reflect on the rest of us.

Steve Bannon and the AltRight forces are attempting to create as much chaos as they can with the hopes that they can drive a wedge between Americans the way Richard Nixon's administration did. Bannon and his ilk thrive on chaos and anger.

The good news is that we have been here before. We know that when Americans joined together against the Vietnam war - instead of fighting with one another - we stopped the war and the unity of the nation led to years of tranquility and prosperity. It was not without its challenges but between the Presidency of Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan, George Bush (1) and President Clinton the country went through a generation of peace and prosperity.

We need to seek common ground and speak out against violence. The example we set for our kids and our fellow Americans can turn the tide quickly.
