GUEST COMMENTARY
F-bombs at KC Plaza ICE protest spoiled our peaceful message

“…our peaceful protest…”
Did you organize that event? Do you speak for everyone there?
Organize your own demonstration. Make a sign that expresses your sentiments, with or without “bad” words. Nobody else who is actively opposed to the obscenities now being perpetrated by the Trump administration is going to stop you.

To quote Bluegirl: “If you can’t use profanity to describe an obscenity, then when the fuck can you use it?”
Twenty-five years from now: “Grammy/Gramps, what did you do in the Fascist rising.” “Oh, I heard people swear at a protest, so I just went home…”
From 2017, on pearl clutching:
My “Nonviolent” Stance Was Met With Heavily Armed Men
“…If you are unwilling to risk your bodily integrity to stand against literal Nazis, but you are willing to criticize the people out there who are taking this grave threat seriously but not in a way of which you approve….I just don’t know what to say to you. Truly. Your moral authority is bankrupt and you’re not helping. You’re a hypocrite…”
