KUMEYAAY NATIVE AMERICANS REFUSE TO FIGHT BACK ... As Woman Attacks Them

https://www.tmz.com/2020/09/19/native-americans-kumeyaay-tribe-attack-peaceful-protest-border-wall/
<snip>
A group of Southern California Native Americans opted not to strike back as they were being pummeled by a woman who didn't like their protest against Trump's border wall.

This was posted by a group called Defend Kumeyaay Land -- natives who originated in San Diego County -- and while members of their tribe were out by the border Friday protesting the ongoing construction of more barriers, they were confronted by a very handsy, violent lady.

The woman comes off as the aggressor, charging the group and telling them to scram -- while also hurling xenophobic remarks and telling the group this is her land, not theirs.

They tell her she's being recorded, and that angers her even more ... at which point she starts swinging on them, pushing them and locking arms with them as they try fending off her blows and peacefully restraining her. What they say they won't do ... hit back, not at all.

You have to watch this for yourself, because it is incredibly powerful -- the Kumeyaay natives repeat over and over that they're non-violent and that they will NOT reciprocate her attack.

If there's one thing this administration has brought to light it's the need for mental health care. The Reagan administration and the Congress of the day repealed most of the landmark Mental Health Systems Act in 1981. Communities were no longer able to provide the kind of mental health care needed due to lack of funding.
If that hadn't happened our country could look a lot different today.

are much more visible. In reality, all social good policies have been vanishing since the Reagan/Thatcher neo-liberalism.

Eventually, the woman seems to get worn down and almost bitter at the fact they're not matching her energy ... so they one-up her with kindness once more, forming a prayer circle around her and carrying on in a chant. The woman seems dumbfounded, and then mocks them.

Typical shite for brains, maggot making a complete idiot of themselves for the treasonous asshole in the WH.

".. not matching" her ugliness".. fixed it.

Mahalo for posting, malaise.

The very first time she/he touched me, there would be aggressive defensive moves, not to hurt her/him but to warn them that's off limits.
