The fact that we have not heard something does not prove that it has not been said and said often. It simply means that

•  it has not been said to you, in your presence, or when you were listening,
•  it has been said on a "channel" you are not tuned to,
•  it has been drowned out by other voices including those who say it has not been said, or
•  it has not been considered sensational enough to report and be re-tweeted.

So, in case any of those are the case:

•  Peaceful, orderly, non-violent protests are as American as apple pie and peanut butter, acceptable, commendable, and often necessary for maintaining our freedoms.
• Violence and destruction are never acceptable and not in the tradition of the great leaders of the American civil rights movements or of Dr. Martin Luther King and others who took beatings but never gave beating.

That being said, let us act as conscience and truth dictate and stand for what it right, while loving and respecting each other as people made in the image of God.
