So far it has been peaceful, but it gets louder every evening. There have been riots in other cities in my state. We are supposed to move into a new house in two weeks out in the country. Please just pray that my husband, kids l, and I stay safe until then.
Edit: changed “love” to “move.” I’m clearly anxious!
Stay safe.
"As we have seen, the first public expression of disenchantment with non-violence arose around the question of self-defense. In a sense, this is a false issue, for the right to defend one's home and one's person when attacked has been guaranteed Through the Ages by common law."
"The principle of self defense, even involving weapons and bloodshed, has never been condemned, even by Ghandi."
