31. There are times for violence

Sun Jan 22, 2017, 12:08 AM

Jan 2017

But right now is not one of those times. Seems like on a lot of these protests there's a certain element that wants to use it as an excuse to be vandals.

Most Deadheads were peaceful but toward the end there was an element that attached itself to the scene that was similar to these guys, breaking into venues, just being assholes.

It's bad enough that he other side is sending people in to try to lure people into stuff to discredit our side. Don't need anyone on our side doing it now.
