[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this generation of young people learns there is something called "peaceful protest". Worried those coming up are losing that example. MLK Jr seems a long time ago.[/quote] When MLK was alive, Republicans considered him a Communist rabble-rouser. In fact, Republicans considered him a violent Communist rabble-rouser at least through the early 1980s, when Reagan signed the bill establishing his birthday as a federal holiday. Now Republicans love to selectively quote from his I Have A Dream speech to condemn the people who are fighting for the things he fought for.[/quote] And if he were around today, they'd be pointing out how many times he got arrested. "Whatever you think of his cause, the court ruled he wasn't supposed to march. If there aren't consequences for breaking the law, there'll be anarchy" they'd say.[/quote]
