RE: Spain must face suspension from the EU after ordering police violence on peaceful citizens.
I thought Europe was civilized and allow their citizens to participate in democracy? Using the military to subdue the public from using pieces of paper?
No the Catalan people want their own Republic. Sorry but you cannot vote yourself away from the crown. Use must use force or force will be used against you. Pick up a gun instead of paper and do it the old fashioned way.
Sorry but that is reality. George Washington knew this. As did Jefferson, "the tree of liberty must be watered" I don't like seeing the blood on those folks but there is more to come if they truly desire to sever ties and be independent.
I disagree.
Violence is the game of the state. They are professionals. You can't beat it on this playing field. The state needs violence in order to justify it's own violence to the people.
Those who use force against the state harm the freedom movement.
As horrible as these pictures are, they document a good strategy: show who is initiating force and let the whole world see. Raising awareness...
Gandhi and MLK are more important than ever.
Sometimes violence is unavoidable, but the Catalans have one more option to exercise before it gets to that: tax revolt!! That will send a more poerfull message to the Spanish government than the vote. If the Catalans want their independence, they will have to up the ante.
Maybe capture them as they entered the polling stations?
Should a man just take a baton to the face? I am searching for the answers also.
Self protection is violence?
The state has the monopoly on violence.
More so, it seems to seek the monopoly on immorality altogether... :)
