We just haven't been this motivated since the 60's.

Raleigh did itself proud yesterday and made it clear that its citizens are aware, vigilant and prepared to engage when appropriate.

Beautiful comment, hear hear!

Agree! So well said.

I wasn't able to go, but was so impressed by all I saw from a distance.

Well said. I attended and was impressed with the attendance and the civility and patience of the crowd and police.

Highest turnout in the state I think.
