This isn't how an elder should be treated in representing his people in peaceful protest.

I guess I am just too old and cynical, but I no longer have the desire to attend these kind of protests and participate in the ritual of confrontation and theater with the opposing side. It seems to change nothing and there is no meaningful interaction. Yes, these kids are empty-headed idiots, as most people are at that age, but I don't see what the point was of what the old guys were doing either. Who is it going to change or make an impression on? For whose benefit are they doing it? To feel self-righteous?

The last public event I attended since the Dem primary season two years ago was a vigil at a synagogue for the shooting victims in Pittsburgh at Tree Of LIfe, because that event actually had a purpose and a point to it that I could actually feel it mattered and made a stand about morality that might have an effect on the thinking of others. I seldom feel that way anymore about protest events or political rallies for that matter.

@Charity I guess I just assume these days that any public political event is going to draw counter-protesters and that is just a risk and presence you have to expect.

@Charity - - Catholic school Brings me back to High School orchestra days - - As the local Catholic school didn't have enough kids to make their own orchestra, The Catholic joined the 7:30 AM orchestra group that included all public school kids. We went on out-of-state trips as a group. It was amazing how you could tell which school the students came from by how they acted as each setting appeared to produce a definitive different perspective of life, morality, and status. I found the Catholic students to be the least grounded in reality - - I'm sure there are exceptions but the trend was very strong.

This idiocy has been posted in many places. Beyond sad that some people can act this way. We have learned little.

@Charity As a professional historian and more importantly a human, I am appalled that we have gained so little perspective from the past and the basic decency we should show each other.

This is so sad on so many levels. These bigots need to be identified and named.
