As for Mr. Wagoner, I disagree with his opinion that confrontational = violent. Peaceful civil disobedience has a long & proud history. I don't think I need to defend it.

A few of my friends were arrested at the Occupy LA raid and I admire them for their courage. Hell, I would've been arrested at Solidarity Park as well, but for my inability to take vacation days that week. It still hurts that I wasn't there.
