Not protesters. This is not non-violent protest, quit twisting reality to sell your agenda.

(27,137 posts)4. That's not how it started.
It started similar to this.
And there is no such thing as a ''civil'' war. War is the least civil thing man has ever done.
As for ''selling''my agenda, I have only one agenda: Truth and Unconditional Love.

If not, so be it -- no skin off my nose either way.
