Some people are so passionate for freedom: they hold their own death as less important than the point they are making. Consider how much MLK did with his life. Recognize the good that has come from us seeing him killed because of his dream of equality for all. Many of us carry his dream in hearts

Much more good would have come from seeing MLK, or Malcolm X, or Kennedy, beat David Duke into a pulp with a baseball bat. I find it ridiculous to try and turn the end of their lives into something positive. They are dead because the Racists wanted them dead. They won.

They are dead because racists killed them. As I host each protest or visibility event, I am aware that a MAGA will burn past with a loud muffler or in a truck with a middle finger up. We haven't seen ICE here yet. I disagree. Violence begets violence begets violence begets violence, a vicious circle

I find that view Childish. If you ainΒ΄t ready to fight back, violence wins, simply as that. Past? They made running you over with that truck semi-legal. Put up a ramp, lets see that truck do a backflip.

I disagree with your description of my views. Children fight because they don't have experience or words to seek redress of their grievances any other way. I fight back with intelligence and the tools that came in my Citizenship from the Constitution. I wish you well. Good bye.

I disagree with your description of mine, but we can end it here Children huh? I mean. I was a child when a 19 year old dude beat me up in front of an audience of 20 people. Later went to prison for beating up his gf. Died last year 39, good Violence is not childs play. Fighting back aint childish

I totally agree. Fighting back is self-defense. Calling for a revolution is not self-defense.

I didnΒ΄t say Revolution. But ok. But also. Calling for a revolution can totally be self defense, depends on the state of the state. The French Revolution was self defense.

You didn't use revolution. I put that word on you. I apologize. My point was that seeing someone beaten to a pulp isn't a good answer. The people who participate and/or watch take soul level damage, IMO.
