The Ninja at the rally

??????????????

let me explain this to those who may question my involvement in rallies, demonstrations, and protests and assume I am an ally of everyone there.

Throughout my adult life from my early 20s to now in my 60s when I attended, and continue to attend a rally in support of something or a demonstration against, whether strictly political, or involved civil and Gay rights, union and labor rights, or for the dissemination of information, I never hide.

Not only do I continue to stand strong and visible, but that visibility often involved, and still does, distinctive and large enough political cartoons that I could never be hidden.

Lately at rallies and demonstrations I have noticed those people dressed like ninjas, all in black with their faces covered leaving only a slit large enough for them to see unless even that area is covered by sunglasses. Their identities are completely hidden.

Often they have been disruptive to the point of being physical.

Recently before one demonstration, the participants were given the standard instructions not to verbally react to anything yelled by an opposing group, nor get physical in any way. After the group had established its place at the site of the event, four or five “ninjas” suddenly appeared among us, and they went to the opposition’s side of the street and began grabbing signs and pushing anyone who resisted. They may or may not have agreed with our message, but their actions put us in a negative light. They either did not know the rules as given, simply decided to act on their own, or were from the opposite side and pretended to be one of us as a way to distract from our message and by their rudeness put us in a bad light.

I have to admit, I cannot agree with nor am I trustful of protesters who are so hidden that you have no idea who they are and cannot trust because you do not know if they are actually part of the group, or infiltrators whose purpose to undo or prevent any possible positive results by instigating violence whether verbal or physical.

Recently supporters of Trump marched around the Boston Common in support of free speech and against actions that had recently occurred on college campuses that prevented conservative voices from being heard. They had the right to do that. They were exercising free speech.

A group of counter protesters had also gathered with signs to speak out against Trump, and there among them appeared the Ninjas who used bullhorns to drown out the Pro-Trump speakers.

One of the black clad and heavily covered ninjas was interviewed by a local news station, and he made strong statements about his right to speak freely that was somewhat weakened by his attempt to remain anonymous, and his defense of true free speech seemed to contradict his need to speak from behind a bandana.

If they want to exercise free speech, they should stand open and strong.

Hidden, they can take counterproductive and even injurious actions for which they cannot be held responsible.

It, to me, is as much an act of cowardice as the Klan’s hiding behind hoods so that you have no idea who is threatening those they choose to intimidate.

It is one thing, and a better thing, to support an idea out in the open as opposed attempting to do so in hiding.

They strike me a three dimensional trolls without keyboards

These people neither represent me, nor do they speak for me.

Their violence is not my method, nor do I approve of their hiding while committing any.

Do not confuse them with me.
