I was not going to go to the No Kings Rally tomorrow.. but have had a change of heart [View all]

I am in my late 70's and not in the best physical shape because of knee issues and replacements.. But after what I read from that crazy sheriff in Florida about committing violence and even killing people who come to the rally.. I am going if I have to do it in a wheelchair.

No one I know ever commits violence at protests or rallys or support gatherings.. but when you have the authorities threating violence like that you just have to take a stand.

We are turn the cheek Christians and my whole church will be there. We will be watching.. the whole world will be watching after this..
