Re: Photos of Arrests - Citizens Blockading Independence Avenue

It is white-reactionary-privileged pacifism that is responsible for people thinking that the only way they can affect change is by Parading and seating around buildings and enriching the police coffers by making people pay for mass arrest actions. Arrogant, self-righteous pacifism only serves to perpetuate and maintain the most violent state terrorist entity in the world today: the US government.
Some conveniently use the accidental injury of that woman in Georgetown, but never mention the blatant murder of 14-year old Deante Rawllins by DC cops and the violence and siege they maintain on black and Latino communities on daily basis. Is the injury of one white woman somehow more horrible than the lives of young black and Latino kids in this city? Most important, does anyone think we are going to stop police and state terrorism with hugs and peace parades? I beg to differ! I'm sick and tired of these "professional" white, anti-war pacifists coming here, doing their thing and not giving a cent about what local oppressed communities of color are going through!

As for business losses or property damage in Georgetown, I don't think you'll find any sympathy on this side of the city! This petulant arrogance is annoying, specially when people preach this "high moral ground" and pass judgment on the actions of others that they don't have the courage to take! Stop judging others from your white comfort zone and Fox News which will only make you more reactionary by the day!

Greet valid criticism with personal (and inaccurate) attacks. Classic. In order to build a movement, you don't keep doing things which alienate people. So what takes courage, throwing bricks?

By the way, I hardly ever watch TV. And I never watch Fox News.

By the way, the tower shields make you look like the cops -- and same basic tactics. Give it up.
