I'm here because a friend and several friends-of-friends were threatened. And as much as I understand that no one is the villain of their own story, here's another quote for you:
Someone said, "What do you say concerning the principle that injury should be recompensed with kindness?" The Master said, "With what then will you recompense kindness?" "Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness."
Your tax dollars paid for both the training that allows me to live without fear, and also (indirectly) my lawyer on retainer. So, if one of my friends is afraid to speak up, I can speak up. If you threaten someone, fear of you may silence them. ...but I ain't afraida you, and I will be louder.
