The people who say this doesn’t affect me need to be affected.

THAT wasn't MLK being violent.

Right. The footage of the confrontations is what brought about change.

I didn't understand your intent in the previous comment. Thanks for elaborating. 👍

The nonviolent protesters didn’t force anyone to use fire hoses did they?

The news coverage/video of the fire hoses is what made a difference.

Yes the coverage was important

I think troops in LA now and next week in DC are going to wake people up.

Original statement: "You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him."

If you're trying to prove it is possible to protest in an appropriate way then I don't think that *someone who was assassinated* works?

All of the good guys in those pictures are behaving non-violently, just as the protesters in LA are. Continued non-violence is key to building this into a mass movement. That doesn't mean go home or cower in the face of state violence.
