"we must only protest peacefully. because that has always worked so well with dictators before."

Self defense is also our right, as is defending ourselves against the fascist regime trying to take over.

you have no idea what it takes to handle fascism

If the guy is going to be playing a law enforcement officer he needs to get proper training. Even if it was illegal for her to get involved, it was not moral for him to shove her the way he did. It was a complete overreaction and escalation…

Fuck those nazi bastard.

I agree. Violence is never the answer but we never must remain silent

Idk, homie, it's sometimes the answer, but maybe not just here, but also, I simply don't care if someone hurts a fucking Nazi while they're actively oppressing people. If it were me to decide who would get in trouble, it wouldn't be the girl who pushed a Nazi, tbh.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. Sometimes violence IS the answer. Our history proves that with the American Revolution, the Civil War, Nat Turner’s Rebellion, the Labor Movement Conflicts of the late 19th / early 20th century, and so many more.

The 1989 Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia came off with zero casualties.

And we should celebrate those few moments where Government is still enlightened enough to react positively to peaceful protests. However, we no longer have that Government. And as I said, those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

Violence serves as a catalyst for change when other avenues are closed.

Violence is sometimes the answer.

violence is sometimes the answer. that’s why it exists as a possible answer. only cowards don’t know they can and should fight back against violence committed against them

K. Nice opinion. They'll show up more and more, more people will join them, they'll make up more reasons to take peaceful people away until theres more of them in the open than us. Then violence won't be possible and they'll fully win. Violence *is* the only answer to fascism.

They operate on might makes right. They play the game of "the law" because its the current lever of power. The second there is enough isolation for them to take over, they will, because in their mind, we've lost and nobody can stop them anymore, so why keep playing the game?

If violence is never the answer, why do we have a military?

Never ? Really ?!? There is a season for everything under the sun. Including fighting back . We didn’t get to see what see was responding to. I’ve always been non violent but honestly getting tired of hearing the refrain

Pushing a cop is generally a bad idea, particularly when you know they’re racist Nazi thugs. Just a PSA.

nobody needs your PSA when you’re defending nazis. thanks for your 35 years of prosecution or whatever the fuck you want to stand on as making what’s happening okay. go line up against the wall like a good lamb for slaughter

It was defense, brainiac.

lol , let them be Do better

What I did was 35 years of criminal defense. Funny, I never got a better deal from a judge, jury, or prosecutor because my client popped a cop. You do you, though.🙄

Yeah thing is , justice died . Or haven’t you heard

Anyone with insight why she pushed back on the agent?

Doesn’t seem so, that anyone knows. I would have liked to know.

Not to mention she 5”2 110lbs with the fist the size of a lemon hit a 6”3 200lbs plus dude wearing a vest. The proper de escalation would be to grab her arms and slowly bring her to the ground. The push shows how inexperienced these agents are. Not good.

No, the push is about clearing out the idiot who crossed the line. You can be upset that he pushed her, but maybe direct that anger toward the winner of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

No one cares what a pedo worshipper thinks or says 🖕 Have a day you deserve

Well, maybe, nobody but you sweetheart! Lol.

Redneck wife beaters...

People who clutch pearls about violent protests are putting all of us in danger, period. they don't care or need an excuse to be violent. this is about self-defense against actual fascists!

Maybe we should just throw daisies at them.

You probably think the Native Americans should have just let the Pilgrims take their land, and took them to the courts that the pilgrims created. 🤔🤔😳 #PrivilegeTalking

Unless you're an absolutist pacifist, you don't believe that.

I am an absolute pacifist. Peaceful protest ended an unjust war in Vietnam and got women more power and rights in the workforce. Body slamming cops never gained anything but legal bills and jail time.

Pacifism is objectively pro fascist. Peaceful protest didn't end the Vietnam War, the NVA did.

That is one of the most factually incorrect things I've ever heard. OAH | The Many Ends of the Vietnam War share.google/akGFAxc0RPtc...

This doesn't show anything about protesters being killed.

Oh, please...

Someone doesnt understand causality.

Sadly...it appeared she went in for a punch. If he was a real officer...not just some baby maga...he would have known how to handle this without the force used. But ya...ya cant go in for a punch on a cop...even if he's a fake cop.

She did not “ body check “ him. And the one she pushed at was not the one who responded by pushing her into the car . I just can’t with this justification of accepting the nazification under the guise of “ violence is NEVER acceptable “

They want to start a race war.

Don't fall for it.

yeaah...im sure this is all going to be resolved with peaceful protest😏

True, but they over reacted. It didn't take that much force, especially for a female. Glad she landed on the car. If she'd gone all the way to the sidewalk it would've cause head injury. I am livid. They started that shit. Got impatient for some action to please orange monster.

Nazis don’t have rights
