The First Amendment and free speech were once used to produce something good, to make positive changes in the nation. That day seems to have slipped away, along with a lot of other powerful, foundational measures.
One lesson the Bible teaches us is that often, riotous behavior is produced to facilitate something evil. In Christ's day, they rioted to stop the ministry of the Apostle Paul. They rioted to stop the freeing of Jesus by facilitating the release of Barabbas the thief.

The rebellion goes all the way up the line to the mayor and the governor.

Some say it is just a giant distraction to hide the grandest theft of American wealth in our history. This is a case of $19 billion worth of missing money, and to date, nobody has been subpoenaed, indicted, tried, and jailed, a few have been deported. Wow. Is that the new justice in America? If only the American taxpayers knew they were not actually helping the nation but just creating a slush fund for Somalians or anybody else that wants to dip in to the nearly bottomless money pit.
