I attended the recent Lula protest as an interested citizen. I was impressed with the decorum of the protesters, the city of Lula folks and government, law enforcement and the press that covered the event. Whether one agreed or disagreed with the protest’s premise, the behavior at the event illustrated the proper spirit of “the right of the people peaceably to assemble” and speak their mind.
