Boston: 40,000 to 100. We're non-violent. UVA: 20 to 400. They beat us with torches and pepper spray us.

you hear about the weapons caches the police found in charlottesville? that wasn't a WS rally, they were seeing if they could form a junta
-
Turns out that was a bit of a misspeak. There were no hidden caches.
-
oh? what was the un-misrepresented info?
-
The governor said "caches," but what he meant was what they were carrying and came with
-
ahh okay, thanks for the clarity on that that one had been really deeply bugging me since i initially read it
-
the thing that should bug you now is the missing story of wtf happened to the police helicopter

The thing frustrating me about white liberals espousing non-violence citing MLK is they are inevitably not out there in solidarity.
-
The Civil Rights movement used non-violence to illustrate they would be met with violence unconditionally. Leaders their bodies on the line
-
These people thinking they can tell protesters they *must* use non-violence without putting themselves on the line are disgusting
-
There were 2
#BostonResist protests yesterday - one was "non-violent" and some members of my (ex?)church said "this is the only good one" -
The non-violent protesters were told by the BLM organizers that violence would bring racial profiling & arrests of POC.
-
(Or so I learned from FB--I went to the protests quite late, after shul.) I think non-violence is a tactic with a purpose.

All forms of resistance to Nazis are OK in my book.

They are going to murder us. The only way to stop them is to make it unsafe to be them. We do this with numbers.
