Thank you much. I appreciate it Josh. There has been so much said since the last time I spoke. I want to go back to the protest real quick. So if you have a population of a city of 1 million people and you have 100 protesters on the street, that would be .01%. Same way, if you have 100,000 people in a town and you have 100 protesters, it's still .01%. Now these protesters, most of them are going to be law abiding protesters. They're doing what they're allowed to do by constitution. If you have 5 or 10 of them that make it violent, that does not make the protest violent. It makes them 5 or 10 individuals that enacted that violence legally responsible and can be charged and put in prison at the trial. So to call a whole group violent because of 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or even 10 or 20 people is not a correct statement. These individuals were violent, not the whole group. So you have this problem that when violence strikes out, the police get in there and they attack everybody. They go after everybody and try to arrest everybody they can, that kind of thing. And that's not the way it should be in a real world. Not in a real world situation, but in my world, they go after the protesters that were violent. Let me reset. So at the same time, you can have 50 people and they go to an ICE detention area and they're on a public street or on the side and they could be both down the street on both sides and they could be holding up signs saying we don't believe in this, whatever. And the police could go out and start harassing them, which is illegal, by the way, and they're legally protesting, they're on public property and they're out of the street with police officers, they could still incite the riot to do something illegal. And that's something that kind of bothers me. I've seen that happen. Okay. So I guess what I'm kind of confused about, Josh, is just the fact that you're grouping them all into one. At least I think that's what you're doing. I might be misinterpreting it, but you go after, in my opinion, you go after the ones that are actually causing the violence, you leave the ones that are not alone. I like the idea of the police officers also having a group that intermediates with the public when situations are around like that. You know, police want to use as much force as they can, it seems like, anymore. When I was a police officer, we were supposed to use minimum force, and today we got them set up in militant gear, all kinds of gear on them, and they just go at it, and we've had a lot of cases, you know.
