I support all the peaceful protesters in Missouri and if the guns come out only bad things can result. The peaceful protesters will be scared away from the scene and we will be left with the people we do not want representing our side, and that is the best case scenario. The worst case scenario means a lot of people die. I hope people fight in the spirit of MLK and Gandhi and keep the guns away.
