In his letter from the Birmingham jail he wrote “…and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people…”

He also said in the same letter:

“Things are different now. So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an arch-defender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church’s silent and often even vocal sanction of things as they are.”

It is, indeed, sad that today’s so-called “protesters” don’t want to experience consequences for their challenges. This makes them less than protesters or proponents …

It makes them sheep not only being willingly led to slaughter, but assisting those who will slaughter them.

It seems even more unfortunate that today’s legal community is often the worst of the hypocrites who “go where the wind blows” in order to further their own personal agendas.

And for those who do not speak out at all, or those who shift their support when the winds blow in a different direction, are the ones who will pay the most costly price.

You can only know that you are moving in the right direction is if you feel the wind blowing in your face, and you must lean against it to move forward.
