The Actions of the few, can shake the many! With protests gaining national attention it seems violence is the attention grabber. Here we see a peaceful protest, fall by the wayside yet again.
The reasoning behind this protest is a strong one, as many believe the office of attorney general is a prominent office position to hold.
"We’re standing in, by sitting in, a long tradition of civil disobedience in this country," Mr. Brooks told Vice News in an interview from Sessions' office.

"We are here in his office to the point of arrest...."
The outcome may only be that of a few headliners on new media outlets, yet the stance is bold and risky.
When you vote for your local and federal government choices, take into account the actions of those who sometimes do not gain national spotlight. For the NAACP president to take such a stance, to the point of arrest, it makes me take a second look at why, what they are doing, and how they are doing it.
Do you think these actions are justified? Leave me a comment below, I always respond.
