What's this?

I go back and forth on that. One part of me says "if we just ignored them,


then it would have been a non event. Or, my personal favorite, A whole bunch of protesters show up and simply turn their back to the marchers.

BUT THEN, I also read some credible arguments that "No, you can't just ignore that kind of hate and bigotry. It needs to be challenged. They need to know that they are in a small minority and the vast majority does NOT agree and stands ready if necessary. And I can certainly see that side of the argument as well.

Honestly, I really don't know which thought is right.
