Re: Protestors lay seige to US Capitol, smash window at military recruiter

I pledge to you that if I see anything that going on at one of these protests that is meant in any way to counter our message of peace in anyway - that is meant to provoke a violent reaction from the cops or whoever - I will do whatever I can in my power to stop it.
That's a promise! You know who you are and you
might as well be dressed in KKK hoods and planting burning crosses on the White House lawn, for the contribution to make to the Peace
Movement. Did you ever once think of the people, some who I saw walking on crutches and rolling in wheelchairs Saturday, who are trying in vain to present a non-violent image in order to counter the militarists in the Pentagon? You are jeopardizing our very right to demonstrate in the future on the streets of Washington DC with your dangerous childish tactics. OOH LOOK HERE's a ROCK, I THINK I'LL THROW IT AT THE WINDOW!

Grow up Dumbasses, and until you do, you are
not Welcome. I'll be watching

Obviously non-violence has failed. We've pulled hundreds of thousands into the streets before and it has failed. We have organized entire communities and it has failed. I'm tired of failure. I'm tired of watching my parents, grandparents, and friends be killed off from cancer and police and I'm tired of watching the 3rd world die because Americans that are to blame thinks the world can change by holding signs. We made concrete results by destroying that window, what did your signs do? There were over a 100,000 people in DC, and did you change anything? Not a thing. We had 200 and we directly damaged a part of this imperialist machine.

But one more thing, what was violent about our tactics? I didn't know rocks or windows were living things that felt pain.

inspiration. the movement is dying, because no believes the left/liberal side is serious. how is hiring movie stars to speak serious? people are dying from bombs! not to see tim robbins do an ad for his next film!

Actually yes, we did think of people in wheel chairs and on crutches, especially the ones who were marching with us... and yes I did see a couple of wheelchairs making their way up the capitol lawn with us...

Re: Re: Protestors lay seige to US Capitol, smash window at military recruiter

read ghandi and then come back. anarchists take ghandi's principles of civil disobedience to heart. liberals just like to quote him. of course the police will react violently. it's not civil disobedience if they don't. if you can't rattle or shake up the system then you failed. if the best new thing you have to offer is Jane Fonda, then it's more of the same. the black bloc as a tactic allows people to blend in and cause confusion among the police. thus allowing more CD. let's also not forget that in the past, Blocs have protected mainstream protesters from arrest. so honesty, crap or get off the pot, but don't whine just because someone on your side knows your profits and lifestyle runs the war machine.

"Grow up Dumbasses, and until you do, you are
not Welcome. I'll be watching:
Look at you, you racist piece of shit, you are name calling and stupid fucking comments about you wishing everyone was a fucking racist like you, you left wingers don't cry foul when someone attacks the Jews (Oh it's ok Israel is bad so it's ok to be racist against Jews) Fuck you and your message of peace, you cannot have peace without justice and it doesn't look like you want justice. I am tired of this non violent B.S. look if you want to do nothing and waste money and trees to have a parade for the media go do it somewhere else maybe the moon, but I and so many other want to END THE WAR and END IT NOW, not in twenty fucking years when your stupid democrats decide they might want to end it, I want it over now and whining about people trying to change shit through whatever means neccesary is not going to help end it at all...sure senseless violence is bad, but attacking people for taking real action is the real violence, I think not taking a stand (not your stupid please arrest me mr. cop no self defense non actions) is really what allows the violence to stay, while your at home reading the nation and watching PBS people will be in the streets trying to stop the war and I hope that you somehow can get a spine from something even just a fragment of spine and not use your violence to continue to protect the state as you are doing right now! Oh and don't tell me I am angry, I don't need anyone to tell me that I know, and I except it because this war is pissing me off and do nothings are also pissing me off as well as the growing racism and racist sympathy on the left
