Considering events of late, I caution my friends on the right not to retaliate for the senseless murder of a man in Portland whose only "crime" was to walk down the street wearing the "wrong" hat.
I know that tensions are high, and that the murder of Aaron Danielson may cause some to seek revenge, but this would not be the answer. We must not seek justice by committing crimes. We must not show our sorrow by wanton acts of destruction. Those are the tactics of the Antifa/BLM rioters. If we adopt such measures, then there is no difference between ourselves and the lawless anarchists we oppose.
There is also a practical reason why we should not take to the streets in peaceful protest over this callous act, or of the other 32 murders of innocent people which have taken place across this nation over the past 100 days. That reason, as I am sure you are aware, is that no matter what we do, the media will assume and report that any violence used against us was our fault. They will claim that it was our mere presence which caused these "peaceful protestors" to assault and murder us.
We are the ones who will be blamed. We are the ones who will be "cancelled" on social media. We are the ones who will be in danger of losing our livelihoods, and possibly our lives, due to a press which can see nothing of value on the right, and which will actively seek to cover up the misdeeds of the left.
Our only course is that peaceful one which we have always taken. Our vote in November is our only chance to see that these criminals are no longer allowed to terrorize innocent people. From the highest office in the land to the lowest, we should seek to expel those in power who ally themselves with these violent monsters, and see to it that they never again hold any political office in this country.
It saddens me that I must encourage my friends on the right to forgo their constitutionally-guaranteed right to peacefully assemble, but now is not the time for actions which will only serve to harm us. Let us instead assemble at the polls on November 3 and act as civilized men and women.
Be well, and stay safe.
