 But, killing someone in self-defense is a little different than protesting. By sometimes, I mean things like if you want to protest for peace, you can't be violent, because you are defeating your own purpose. Because if you want to protest for something like peace, you have to be prepared to suffer abuse, because if you fight you're just doing what the abusers are doing. Self defense is a little different, like the mugging. If I see a women being mugged, and I attack the assaulter to stop him, I'm not really protesting anything, I'm just helping the women. I would use force to help her, but if I subdued the assaulter, I would rather try to figure out why he does what he does, and help him, instead of sending him to prison. Also, There are times where I think the Malcom X approach of "be peaceful, but if they lay a hand on you, they've broken any peace treaty" works well too. It depends on what you are protesting. All that aside, I think the silent treatment for the chancellor was well done, and I think the students who sat there and took the pepper spray was more effective than if the students had physically assaulted the police officer after being sprayed

I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do. "You think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see." I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land I know I was born and I know that I'll die; The in between is mine."
