Protesting is a fantastic way to voice your beliefs. As many of you are aware the protests over the Right to Work laws in Michigan is on the front page of the paper every day this week. Thousands of union workers and those who were against the law showed up to protest, but there were others who showed up in support of the law as well. Some of those people were met with physical attacks and the tearing down of a tent by pro-union protestors. Such actions in protests are unacceptable. For a protest to function properly in America it must remain nonviolent. There were some people who were pepper sprayed on the union’s side by police and yes such issues do exist. There are always grey areas that arise between law enforcement and civilians. But when civilians turn on other civilians, it damages all credibility a protest can have and turns the protesters into “thugs” in the public eye.
