Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

[paulpablo]

Violence never comes out of nowhere, unless it is because a small group deliberately trying to disrupt a peaceful protest so that it can be denounced by the establishment. Peaceful protest works and is always preferable. But sometimes violence escalates over time from both sides. The establishment use more forceful means to quell free speech, so the protesters protest more strongly which leads to more forceful methods deployed against them next time.

Expect a serious increase in escalation with Trump in charge as he deploys force to stop a protest.

Violence happens lots of times for the sake of it.  It's really fun when you're a teenager.

I've been part of a riot at a music festival, it's basically a bunch of teenagers setting fire to things and throwing bricks at the police.  I saw a skinny,short 14 year old girl pick up a full brick and launch it right through the back of a police car window while it was driving away.  That always sticks in my mind.

If anyone remembers the bumfights videos, they were made by a group called Indecline. They now make videos about black lives matter, anti trump videos, random vioence videos.  So they've basically gone from making millions by manipulating black people people to take drugs and commit crime on camera while making fun of them and making millions of dollers off it to supporting black lives matter and being anti trump because that's what's cool now.

On their website they sell trunctions and weapons they advertise as being great for smashing up police cars and all sorts.

So yeh there's some utter psychopaths at these anti trump protests.  That's why they can turn into violenct protests.

I'm not saying there's no psychotic trump supporters, but to say the violence always happens for a political reason at these events is false.
