Reply #39: There's 11min of my life I'll never get back and yet still no brutality

[Stevenmarc]

There seems to be a whole generation that lacks perspective on reality, they equate a terse tweet to getting hit on the head with a bat. As someone who spent the Reagan years attending more than a few ActUp demonstrations let me tell you that wasn't even close to brutality it was a bunch of badly organized brats whos lack of message clearly made this I provocation not a demonstration.

And as much as I can use my personal experience as a barometer to brutality I know that my experience pales in comparison to the experiences of civil rights demonstrators in the 60's but then I really don't have a problem putting things in perspective.
