Dear DiBlasi,
RICH people “have the freedom to leave.”
The United States being a more comfortable place to live than other countries does not mean that we should all ignore injustice and inequality in favor of “putting things in perspective”—meaning celebrating the ability to protest without being killed (by the way, ever heard of COINTELPRO?).
It is the right of every human being to raise our voices, not a privilege. The denial of this right is something we should fight, not pity. You praise the freedom of Americans to protest, but when they have a problem with America they should leave?
If you value free speech, for goodness sake encourage others to use it instead of taking the if-you-don’t-like-it-get-out approach.
