In this republic, we elect our representatives who appoint executives and law enforcement leaders as trusted to implement our -- the peoples -- wishes in accordance with the law and Constitution. When the elected or appointed fail, we reserve the right to demonstrate, voice our opinions peacefully and ultimately decide on their fate through elections.

Lessons of the French Revolution have to be taught in our schools. The deprivation of the people imposed by the monarchy incited a people's revolution but the agitators and angry mob changed that revolution in to anarchy, killings and human abuse of others and properties. The result was fascist dictatorship that took decades for France to recover from. The well-meaning French revolutionaries lost their honorable cause because of the bad apples who hijacked their revolution. France is still suffering the consequences.

The author Ann Coulter in her book "Demonic" compares the pure American intellectual revolution with the chaotic French revolution. It seems that mobsters are in presence everywhere in the world. They seek any opportunity to steal freedom in the name of free expression. Ronald Reagan warned us that "Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction."

If we lose it , it is an eternal loss. The French know that. They experienced it sorely.

Every America-loving citizen is disheartened by the riots and destruction at a time when the nation is trying to recover from a historic pandemic that paralyzed the economy. The forces behind this tragedy have to be brought to justice according to the law.

Otherwise peaceful, well-meaning demonstration against police brutality or against any misbehaving government entity will be compromised and smeared by the mobs who have no residence in this country except behind bars and for a long time. A lesson has to be taught.
