This is where a lot of you get it wrong, says Doug Bell Sr. on Facebook.
"There is no constitutional right to protest." He says, there is no constitutional right that protects you.
What is your right is to peacefully assemble. That's it. No riots, no chaos, no burning things down, no intimidation, no blocking roads, screaming obscenities. You have the right to stand there. You have the right to hold a sign. You have a right to peacefully assemble. Quietly without trampling everyone else's rights. The moment it becomes loud, destructive, coercive or threatens, it stops being protected and it becomes lawlessness. He says he is glad to clear that up. I agree with him. Do you also agree?
