    I’m well aware. I was specifically talking about the modern tactic of sit-ins in the middle of busy intersections and protestors glueing themselves to the tarmac, and so forth.

    I never called into question political protest in general, even though that’s apparently what people are assuming I said.

        Violence is never appropriate unless in self defense. Bystanders don’t deserve to have their lives flipped over in the name of visibility.

            The one from 1773?

            I think it’s ancient history and we live in a more modern society.

            I firmly believe in nonviolent protest, in the modern era, if you need the goalposts moved thusly
