It is more dangerous now than it was in the past. More people ARE being murdered and raped and robbed. Thousands and thousands and thousands more. We have more people, that is true, and more people are being harmed. Maybe not more people as a percentage, but more people overall.
Maybe we should be paying attention to the backgrounds of people who enter this country? Maybe we should enforce the rules on the books about immigration? Maybe we need more law abiding people to come join us.
Marching didn't aid the woman's movement. Strong women changed things. Marching didn't help civil rights. Ethical people changed the laws to make things fair. Many rallies and marches have burnt and damaged areas and caused people to become angry and discouraged toward whole groups of people. Moving your arms and legs and carrying incendiary signs does nothing but make some people mad as hell and makes others feel virtuous.
