We want people to have the right to express their concerns and frustration and protest in a peaceful manner.

(The protest) was anything but peaceful.

It is only when the partisan shouting stops that we can hear each other's voices and concerns.

That's what (Hill) died for, the right for people to protest. But I don't think a funeral is the right place or context in the way they are protesting. It's not something the family needs to hear, that we're glad your son's dead and that your minister is a whore.

If people want to protest, to get out there and express themselves, as long as they do it peacefully, they should be encouraged to do so.

I think that they have a right to protest, because those young people that are going to school and studying are not here to harm the country. On the contrary, they are going to make this country richer and they have a right to be treated equally.
