One may express a few principles of political discourse succinctly:
1. Don’t destroy property.
2. Don’t use force against political opponents, either immediately or while destroying property.
Over the last two years, countless Wisconsinites have voted, assembled, and protested with scarcely any property damage or violence. In this way, we have been a good example for people across America and abroad. See, along these lines, The Place of Peace and Honesty.
Wisconsin’s peaceful protests these recent years only illuminate by contrast the few, criminal acts that wrongly deviate from the majority’s responsible conduct.
