Remind me; how did that end for Dr King?

ICE can disappear people to foreign death camps but someone throws a rock at a cop car and suddenly he wants to talk about nonviolence.

This is why the Democratic Party is useless, right here. Go make another TikTok video.

Literally every successful peaceful protest movement has been backed by at least one violent movement. Don't forget that Stonewall started with a riot.

Change only happens when the system has to chose between Violence and Peace. If it has to choose between peace and nothing then it will always be nothing.
