1. This is getting ugly and out of control

I don't see how any good will come of this continuing confrontation. I fear public support for legitimate greviances by any of the diverse group of protestors with legitimate greviances will erode.

[NOLALady]

4. You mean

the way public support eroded for the Civil Rights movement?

6. What are you talking about?

The protesters confronted police violence with non-violence. It's the only thing in the history of the world that has produced change.

Go get yourself some fortitude.

[Hoosier]

7. Your fears are unfounded.

Explain yourself.

8. You obviously should review Gandhi and the Salt Works.

Escalation/Confrontation is inevitable.

Likely, deaths are inevitable.

We are attacking a system that, if brought down, "the powers that be" will lose untold billions.

Do you think they won't do everything in their power to destroy us?

That they will simply roll over and let us bring back the America we once knew?

Murder is nothing for them -if they can get away with it. This is a war being fought, make no mistake.

Our major defense regardless is Non-violence.

The other is the need to be ready for casualties.

Finally your fear, master it. You do no one any good, and do nothing except help the enemy.

5. Oh my dear God.

*Sad*

The older people are being set up to be the nemies.

Remember the news stories claiming they are 'richer' than the rest of us? What BS. Only a few have paid for over valued homes. But most don't have pensions, savings or annuities. We all know our parents and parents generally can barely pay their property taxes. Lord, give these people a break. :(
