Ms. Van Brocklin: You state that there is Payne's conduct is inexcusable, then proceed to use the rest of your space to justify him and his actions.  You have denigrated the proud courage of countless people who took up causes via civil disobedience. I marched in the non-violent peaceful Civil Rights protest.  So the dogs and the firehoses used by a certain southern sheriff were justified, by your logic.  So were the citizens beaten by Chicago police during the Democratic Convention Police riots.  Resolved in 20 minutes?  Nonsense.  If Miss Wubbels hadn't protested as she did, she'd likely have ended up in a back room, somewhere, and who know when she would have been granted the presence of a lawyer and what she would have gone through prior to that.  
     You are completely ignorant of the shortage of nurses in this country - in some cases, critical shortages.  And why would anyone want to be a nurse when they are disrespected by a former state and federal prosecutor such as you.
