"I never got the point of peaceful protests"


  

          

I get its ur right to freedom of expression & whatnot, but what does it really solve?

I know it often works in labor disputes, where the corporation gives in to demands, in order to save face

but shit like Ferguson tho? We suppose to just picket peacefully
holding up cardboards?? what does that solve?

there's about a few campuses around the country where students are forming "human chains", laying side by side on sidewalks in protest.. Lol

If anything, the govt appreciates u not wilding out. Why would they care if you're not disturbing their peace??

U really want their attention, attack the power structure itself not your neighborhoods!!

At least this is my understanding of it, perhaps I'm missing something
