We must remain peaceful

More than anything else , they want us respond with violence.As Randi Rhodes said so many times, it’s so easy to make bad decisions when you’re angry. No matter how justified your anger is, we need to stay peaceful .

Our side almost always does. We should be warning about RW agitators, though. I think that's a more realistic probability, and we can not let them provoke violence. If that happens, it needs to be pointed out in no uncertain terms.

They are propagandists as well.

If anything, they'd probably prefer we remain peaceful and let them continue their reign of terror undeterred.

They don't need any more excuses to curtail our free speech, privacy, and other rights, or send more military forces to "help" police us.

We need to hit them where it hurts: their pocketbooks with a general strike.
