Spanish photographer Guido Gutiérrez Ruiz posts to his Instagram account images that are so arresting it's hard to believe that they are captured with his phone. A true testament to the saying "It's not the camera but the person behind it," Ruiz and his work might make some rethink their plans to get that expensive camera in order to produce interesting vacation photos.

His thesis was that in order to preserve democratic freedoms, it may be necessary to use force to quell intolerance. It's an interesting paradox. Even though people have the right to free speech, using that right to impede on others' rights and well-being will undermine its very foundation.
Conflict is necessary to continue looking for ways to improve the quality of life for society as a whole. But when conflict becomes violent and intolerance resorts to force in order to have what it wants, then the only way to preserve the democratic society is not to tolerate intolerance which might necessitate force.
On a different note, we also need to consider that democracy is an ideal and it has the possibility of taking on different meanings for different people and societies. But that, for now, is beside the point.
