With all due respect to her, that's nonsense. Nothing changes without the real threat of property and material damage.
- The only reason protests work is that those in power understand that the next step could involve violent opposition. Though it’s more than a bit reductive, it’s not untrue to say MLK was only successful because Malcom X was the alternative.
- Until it is your property.
- I wonder how her grandson would feel. I personally hated my grandmother and could easily see the piece of shit doing this. I should put in my will, "don't listen to old people."
