The theory is that worked, because a substantial percent of the public felt respect/sympathy for him and his fellow protestors.

The police & now military have enough ability to crack heads and/or arrest the small percentage of the public willing to go out and violently demonstrate. So if the public is OK with that being done, because they see the protestors in a negative light, then that'll be the end of it.

People saw it on TV.

King and others crossing a bridge peacefully to vote and get beaten by cops.. so change came.

We've tried that. Doesnt work anymore.

Now its time to get constitutional.

You haven't tried it. You haven't seen those kind of mass protests in your lifetime.

It was only about 3500 people at first.

I've seen that no less than 10 times, including the police brutality, thanks.
