Re: Photos of Arrests - Citizens Blockading Independence Avenue

Oh the petty bullshit sensitivities of these self-righteous pacifists! They give themselves the moral authority to be the ultimate judges about the right and wrong forms of resistance to state oppression, but when you call them on their coward pandering and accommodation with the powers that be, including the police, they just whine and bitch instead of dealing with the issues in an honest, straight-forward manner! Their preaching of the "high moral ground" or "holier than thou" bullshit is hypocritical when they keep repeating this sickening cycle of paying cops for mass arrests that only help to maintain and perpetuate the fascist police state in which we live! Has it ever occurred to them that by paying all this money, that by now perhaps reaches into the millions, they are helping subsidize police state terrorism and repression in communities of color in this city and all over this country!? It is fake grandstanding and posturing pretending to stop the wars this empire carries all over the world and not saying or doing anything against the wars against poor people and communities of color in this country!

The one or two people obsessing pathologically with the woman accidentally hurt in Georgetown in order to attack what we did, should think about and deal with these issues instead of shifting blame and calling my responses invalid and personal! It is them who use people as political football by placing higher value in the well being of this woman as opposed to "other" people in the city! That type of attitude is classist and racist at best! Friday night, the police assaulted many of us verbally and physically with their motorcycles and bicycles. If they are so righteous, why don't they condemn police violence!

As for the kids that marched on Georgetown, they are all alright. They showed a level of commitment and courage that none of these high preachers of pacifism ever will! We all know what these self-appointed leaders and celebrity-status-seeking moralists will do in such circumstances: continue with their parasitic passivity and tell us to just "turn the other cheek" and follow the path of "least resistance." All there is left for these people is to turn into snitches and start selling out all of us that act in ways they don't approve of to the cops!

Instead of using their reactionary politics to tell us what to do, it is them who should think about their outdated tactics and give them up!

I have no idea why you are so hostile to pacifism. However, I will respect you and listen to your criticism.
