I hope i dont upset too many people with what i am about to write and i am sure that at least one or two of you will agree with what i have to say.
Now i have no problem with any group that protests an issue “peacefully”. By peacefully i mean without acts of violence or destruction that require police intervention and a financial cost to repair. People should be allowed to express an opinion as a group peacefully and expect to be treated with due respect as humankind. When they resort to violence and mob mentality all they are demonstrating is the “devolution of mankind” and as such deserve to be treated as nothing more than animals. Despite having opposable thumbs, humans were given something else to distinguish them from animals and that is a voice, a method of complex communication so why revert to tribal mentality?
Some tips for the protestors if they want to be taken seriously would include chanting something at least partially sensible. Chanting “Abolish Money” does not satisfy that criteria. But, i do like the idea of abolishing money to any welfare recipient or student receiving a grant that is arrested for anything other than a peaceful protest. I mean the least we can do is grant the wishes of those that protest so hard so as to get arrested to make their point, and if their point is abolish money, then take it away from them, i myself am very happy with money, although a little more would not go astray.
Tear gas and tanks for anyone who steps out of line i say!!
