Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Bringing pink paint to a protest to throw on federal officers is premeditated, not peacefully resisting. Maybe spend some time learning law. Funny you keep saying boot licking but I know plenty of kids like you and their parents all work for Nike.

Lol. Spend more time learning to read and you may come up with actually creative insults. I never said peaceful and I wasn't the person that mentioned boot licking earlier.

You're advocating for people to commit crime. You go resist violently since you love jail so much.

In the same way I would advocate the crime of going over the speed limit while passing someone on a two lane highway, yes. I believe the American people have much to learn from French protests.

Edit: Or another crime example would be feeding homeless people. Just because it's a crime doesn't make it immoral.

So you're equating crimes that get you a ticket, which as you acknowledge sometimes are harmless like driving through a red light at midnight when no one is around, to throwing paint on federal agents? Geezus where did you get your education from? Throwing paint on federal agents doesn't do anything but get you locked up for probably several months to years. If you want to get locked up you'd at least make more sense to actually do something of value rather than to do the stupidest shit imaginable.

I'm considering paint spalltering within the hypothetical that the federal agents are aggresive and risking harm to others. People get hurt and killed with their "non-lethal" methods. I would gladly go to jail for a time if it saves a life.
