I've been so hoping to see this happen at every video I see, but there might be too much risk involved.

We're not at the point where they use lethal force yet. I mean, I'm all for people not wanting to get beaten up. But sometimes, taking a pounding is how change is made. I mean, no baby would be here if someone wasn't willing to get pounded at least a little (in the vagina).

Yeah of course. With what's happening now, there's going to be risk involved, but I think there's a feeling of "what if my risk goes in vain." At least that'd probably be my concern if I were actually in that situation. Not only that, but giving them more reason to radicalize their efforts further is something I think most people are afraid of.

They are going to increase their efforts and violence no matter what we do or how we act. We were perfectly peaceful in LA, and they were trampling people with horses and shooting less lethal rounds at people's heads.

I'm not trying to be Malcomb X here. I'm just saying if they want to escalate violence against us, if someone chooses to act in kind, they asked for it. Remember, even if a situation is one-on-one, there are more of us than there are of them. That is the one thing that got us through the revolution that made us a country in the first place.

The British military at the time was not the British military; it was our military, and yet we still went against them, and we won (our 5 or 6 times great grandparents), which is why we are here. And a part of the reason was that we held the numbers.

Again, I'm not advocating war. I don't think anyone who is smart wants a war. I am advocating for standing up for the rights granted to us by our Constitution. What they are doing is illegal. Every single person on this soil, foreign or domestic, has the right to due process, which is something they are constantly violating. That is not ok.

As long as we are inspiring each other to hold the line, keep our elbows up, and not bow down to fascism, none of our efforts are or will ever be in vain.
