I have a couple of questions I would love to get your opinion on, if you would be so kind...
Do the protests have a leader or some decision-making methodology?
What are the goals of the protests, any identifiable short and long term change?
Are you seeing anything positive or negative happening as a result of the protests?
How do you feel about the response of local government to the protests and to the federal invasion?

Sorry for so many questions. I’m seriously curious.
