But first stock up on the essentials: chips, dips, booze and porn.
I’m making plans to attend my first rock and bottle throw and cavalry charge of the new US administration. Next Saturday in Madrid. At the Plaza del Sol. US Out of North America.

No need for rocks and bottles. If peaceful protest draws a violent response it only makes the master class more disreputable. No! We don’t want our side giving the others a reason to use violencs. Study your Mahatma Gandhi.

First, calling the demonstrations a “rock and bottle” throw was a euphemistic joke. Sorry if you didn’t get it, but you’re young, so I’ll forgive you. Invoking Gandhi displays significant ignorance about his policy of non-violence. He WANTED there to be violence, just didn’t want to be seen initiating it. It was a political judgement, not a moral one. Nor is the present situation like that of the Indian Salt Tax marches in the early 1930s, nor the massacre at Amritsar; but those were tactical not strategic non-violence in the face of superior force. (Also, Gandhi was assassinated, by a Hindu. Fred Hampton was murdered in his bed by police who planted weapons. Medgar Evers was murdered outside his home, with his wife and children inside.)
I seriously doubt that violent protest will happen in Spain, at least, not because of opposition to the US. However, I have also lived in the UK, where the police developed a tactic called kettling in response to protest. Sometimes resistance is called for, not passivity. In Denmark, at the turn of the century, there were massive protests against the war in Iraq. Some protesters did, to my surprise, throw bottles.
In any case, in the 60s, I would have tossed rocks OR bottles when beaten by the 82nd Airborne outside the Pentagon in 1967, and had there not been panic in Chicago in 1968. In DC during the May Day riots of 1970, the National Guard fired tear gas into the Student Union at George Washington University where many were sleeping (not occupying.) I wear my scars proudly.

In the 60s I did NOT toss bottles or rocks, only words — they never hurt anyone.
The practice of non-violence is something I will always believe in.
You didn’t mention Kent State. I wonder why?

Eric Allie, Lisa Benson, and others just don’t get it. The courts are the last bastion of defense against a wannabe dictator. If they don’t like a judgement made against them, they can appeal – but no, they ignore Article 3 of the Constitution and assert their unwillingness to comply, calling it judicial overreach. The judiciary that is identifying non-compliance with the law is not the branch that is guilty of overreach. Thus dies democracy. Have a nice funeral.
US Out of North America!
