Peaceful protesting does lead to change. If a lot of people gather and voice their opinion government officials will hear them.

Takes time, but yes, it matters eventually.

One only has to look back at the Civil Rights Movement and Voting Rights Act, et al, to know that they do.

Our current so called protest are actually just out of control violence being perpetrated agianst small business, innocent people and our police officers who are trying to protect us.

Larry Ewart

I have never felt wronged enough to protest. To do so violently just tells me you are of poor character and have been spoiled so as to get your way

Jacqueline Loyd

This is America. Can we cross borders into other countries with no passport. Bend protesters need to read up on our rights, then stay home. Your the problem not those who are protecting all Americans.

Some demonstrations do lead to change... These? Not a chance. If they did lead to change, based on the platform of the protesters, the US would have no police, open boarders, and crimes run rampant

Michael Miller

Darn few advocate for any of that.

Nancy

Some of these people are paid to protest and when it turns violet the police can't even tell who they are due to mask restrictions. Portland is a perfect example of how our Governor has failed us!

Michael Miller

If you know protestors are paid, then you must be paying them. Where do these crazy ideas come from, anyway?

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

Dave

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

Ka San

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
