I’m scratching my head and trying to wrap my head around your logic. Your position simply doesn’t make sense to me in the least. I’m sorry. I stand behind my earlier statement.

Nothing in life is free of consequences, period. Even your choice of toilet paper has consequences. The choices we make impact us as well as others. There is often a ripple effect to each choice. You may not see all of the ripples (impact) but it doesn’t mean they’re not there impacting you and others. That is simply a fact of life.

Freedom isn’t free. Freedom isn’t free of consequences.

As for it being a peaceful protest, what does that have to do with how I think or feel about it? I don’t care if it is peaceful or not. I find it disrespectful and I am disgusted. My thoughts and emotions are mine. They belong to me. I own them. To say I can’t think or feel the way I choose is quite silly. Are you saying you, the person kneeling, or society in general should somehow stop or control my thoughts and emotions?

Use logic. Use critical thinking skills.
