115. I was in the U.S. Army nine years myself.
And I say authority concerning peace on the streets responsibility lies with those who hold the authority to police people getting along peacefully despite differences in political opinion.

Not a lynch mob-like rabble who don't take to heart what the philosopher Voltaire said; "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.

I hate the Klan too. But everyone has the First Amendment right to free speech. That was one thing I served to defend and protect.

I didn't do it to get the strange notion service gave me the preoperative to form a gang to bully away those I don't like.

That sets a bad precedent, and you would be hollering for help from authorities if suddenly you experiences a logistical shift giving your political enemies the advantage forcing you to preform a retrograde action.

One ironically you would bully them into preforming.

(Retrograde is retreat for you non military types.)
