10. That ASSHOLE!

Since we moved to Oregon, I have participated in numerous protests and big marches downtown.

You know who goes to those?

Moms. Dads. Young couples. Groups of friends - of all genders. Grandmas. And some grandpas. Young parents with kids, and babies in "papoose" harnesses. Often with their pet dogs along, on proper leashes and often with some sort of fashion accessory or "coat". Students. Teenagers. Middle-agers and baby boomers. And all colors, mostly white, but there still is some variety.

I've never seen an Antifa anybody, EVER. Anywhere. At ANY such gathering large or small. And EVERY BIT OF IT, EACH ONE, EACH TIME was PEACEFUL. Period. Full stop.
