non-violent methods to shut down any summit
I know there is a lot of division going on right now between the
"violent" and non-violent camps. I know this may bring about
some anger on part of those of us who have chosen to be
more aggressive in our tactics. I really aplaud the courage of
both sides of this divide. I do believe we have the same goals
at heart. That said though, I believe we could have more
courage in our means. This method is only for those willing to
place their bodies in the way of direct physical damage and
we should expect to have limbs broken. If we want to shut
down a meeting of World Bank officials, etc. all we have to do
is march straight into police lines arms linked without a single
act of violence until either one of two things happens: every
single protester is beaten and bloodied in the streets or the
police lines have collapsed from their inability to maintain the
continuous beatings necessary to keep us at bay. Let's see
media try to explain how 10,000 demonstrators are in the
hospital without a single police injury. Either the building falls to
the protesters or the appalling atrocity necessary to hold the
meetings will galvanize the population. We have to be willing
to die for our cause and believe it or not it takes much more
guts to be beaten continuously then it does to throw a few
rocks and run away to fight again and I believe it will be a
100X more effective. If we are willing to go to these lengths
there is nothing the world that can stop us.
