Actual murder. He is a war criminal by every definition of the term and he holds the office of vice president of the USA. This is intolerable. It is our moral duty to protest him. And it will take more than signs and chants to stop this monster.  We must take direct action.  We must do everything in our power to disrupt, delay and hopefully prevent him from conducting whatever dirty business brings him to town.\r\n\r\nIf we do not create a spectacle which draws the media\u2019s cameras and gets airtime it will be as if the protest never happened.  Also no activist group should be applying for a permit to conduct this protest and no protester should honor any police yellow tape.  Protest is protest!  Anything less is nothing but a staged street festival.\r\n\r\n\u201cNon-violence is only effective when it comes into contact with violence\u201d  - Gandhi\r\n\r\nNon-violent civil disobedience on a massive scale works.  History proves this.  The whole point of non-violent civil disobedience is to expose the cruelty and the willingness of the state to use violence to force its will on the people.\r\n\r\n\u201cRule by sheer violence comes into play where power is being lost\u201d \u2013 Hannah Arendt\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s show Cheney who the real superpower of this world is. The people.\r\n","author":"Shut down the event","parent_id":99744,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-01-10 02:15:39","modified":"2013-11-11 00:28:20","fileurl":""}]}
