That sounds fine to me and a worthy cause! But did you break into the library? LauraInLA May 2024 #28

"peacefully occupy a building" Sympthsical May 2024 #14

Are you actually claiming no protestor in this nation iemanja May 2024 #35

I'm saying it's a terrible strategy Sympthsical May 2024 #38

Perhaps so, but it's not new iemanja May 2024 #39

Yeah, it sounds like it's from the past hundred years Sympthsical May 2024 #41

Property damage?? omg omg WhiskeyGrinder May 2024 #21

Destroying or commandeering property is just playing into Republican hands. SunSeeker May 2024 #25

And what did he get for it? They still gave him a bullet. progressoid May 2024 #27

The Civil Rights Act of 1964. He was killed because he was effective. SunSeeker May 2024 #32

As I've said before about the Columbia protest and the property damage there: Scrivener7 May 2024 #52

Playing into Republican hands is moronic. SunSeeker May 2024 #55

I guess it was the bake sales that brought about the Civil Rights Act, then. Scrivener7 May 2024 #58

MLK's peaceful protests and organizing brought us the Civil Rights Act. nt SunSeeker May 2024 #62

And MLK was routinely accused by those who disagreed with him of inciting hatred Scrivener7 May 2024 #63

He was accused of a lot of things, but they had no receipts, because he was peaceful and called for love. SunSeeker May 2024 #64

That's common sense. byronius May 2024 #18
