i’ve said it before and i’ll say it until i’m deceased: NO ONE listens until you smash things or kill people.

again: sitting on the lot of a dollar tree arm in arm singing ‘kumbaya’ and ‘no justice no peace’ and ‘we shall overcome’ does nothing. shoppers will step right over your life for their $1 goods and the news will film your peaceful protest from across the street.

again, please see: charlottesville, “ferguson” (aka st. louis), haitian revolution, boston tea party, battle of blair mountain, bloody sunday (selma and ireland), stonewall Riots, la riots, detroit riots and on and on and on and on on on on on
