How long will these beatings continue before...
The USA isn't India.
This isn't a Gandhi-like society.
Passivity and nonviolence will only go so far here.

How much do the phony macho-fascists think the public will take of these sprayings and beatings?
How many beatings will Americans take before heads of the elites start rolling?
Do the 1% truly believe that their gated communities and private security cops will deter the onslaught?

I don't wish any violence here but think about the romanticism that violence has been given in America.
Violence is cherished here.
Think of our history.
And then think again if you truly believe these are just a bunch of skinny dirty hippies.

1. They've been preparing since the 70's.
We cannot fight them with violence, even if that is the 'American Way', if we want to win. We can only win with a fierce and uncompromising commitment to non-violent resistance.

3. Until 'morale' improves...
Otherise, the chocolate rations may have to be next.

You've been warned.

4. There will be another Kent State. They used the last one to good effect.
It ended the hippie economy and ushered in the cocaine and money hording of the 80's.

So effective was killing a few youth, that I cannot see them not mulling it over.
