Enough is enough!

I'd like to take a moment on behalf of George Floyd to say to these "protesters", " Enough is enough! " Protesting is a right of all Americans, voicing disapproval over wrongs or injustices is part of our first amendment rights. But protests, peaceful protests take place in the light of day, where our message can be heard, not at night which cloaks the actions of those wishing to loot and destroy buildings, businesses, and communities, all in the name of- what? Not the memory of George Floyd, for he would be the first to condemn their actions. Not to right social injustices, for breaking the law and destroying communities and lives never corrects a social injustice.
The violence rocking out cities, our nation,  which began as a protest over social injustice, has become an excuse for those interested in destroying what they can't have, what others worked their lives for, which these "protesters"have neither the will not the backbone to legitimately work for. They are thugs, thieves, and domestic terrorists, for their intent is to destroy America as we know it because they aren't happy with their wretched lives.
All lives matter, and what happened to George Floyd was egregious and wrong to anyone with a caring heart. It was shocking and appalling and the injustice needs to be remedied, but breaking the law by burning and looting just compounds the wrong and gives fuel to those who oppose reform. Instead of breaking the law let's assemble peacefully, make our viewpoint known, and begin to change things by working together. The vast majority of Americans are good and moral people, not condoning such a wrong such as happened to Mr. Floyd. In his memory let's work for change through peace and dialogue, not through violence and anarchy.
Food for thought...
