Nothing about this brings me joy. It is the first step in an escalation that will invariably make Kent State look like a walk in the park.

Would you rather no one do anything? Would you rather people cower instead of stand up? I know you'd prefer none of this happen. But it is. And this is one of the best outcomes so far.

I think a more charitable reading is that hope and joy are different. This can inspire hope and dread at the same time. Hope for what can be vs. dread for what it will take to get there. The point is this is good and we need more, but it will certainly be met with violence eventually

I took joy not so much to mean joy that the people are standing up even when their leaders haven't. It could very well have gone another way.

I wasn't setting out to nitpick, but you've captured a more full scope of my initial take pretty well.

I am committed to standing up and doing whatever it takes, but I view it solemnly - not "joyously."

If resistance isn't joyous it won't happen. Celebrating victories however small is essential
