"In many ways, I look at what’s happening now across the United States. I look back at how we grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s and it’s almost as if we’re returning back to what we had before… as if that’s the only way to try and make change come about. I’m certainly not advocating violence because I have to deal with individuals that are charged, possibly criminally depending on what they’ve done. At the same time, when you are up against the wall, you feel that there is no hope, you feel that there is no recourse, then you figure we have to do something. That enormous frustration makes people feel they have to do something. And so, I pray to God that we can do something in a way that is positive, that’s energetic, so that it benefits everyone, so that people don’t resort to violence to try and bring about change."
