What comes to mind is the Stonewall Riot in the late 60's. Up until then, police constantly attacked gays for "sport". The police were making one of their "regular raids" when the patrons decided there weren't going to take it any more. They threw the police out and barred the doors. The police brought a battering ram to knock the door down. By the time they were inside the bar, a huge crowd gathered. Of course, the police never thought a bunch of sissies were going to fight back. And fight they did. Just a few months later, the city had it's first gay pride parade. Now such parades are in nearly every country in the world in one form or another.
And look at the civil rights movement. Nothing really happened until America saw old ladies and children being attacked by dog and fire hoses and being dragged away:
Watching a Marine Veteran talking in Baltimore made my eyes water. He said when on Active Duty in the Middle East, he was called a patriot. Now that he's protesting the many young blacks being murdered without repercussion, he's called a thug. And we know from USMB right wingers, that's their favorite term.
And these right wingers? Look at them. When Bundy was illegally stealing from the American people right wingers, covered in weapons, rushed to defend him. They were only looking for an excuse to kill. Look at the hundreds of thousands of dollars sent to Zimmerman for killing an underage unarmed black child. And nearly every USMB Republican called him a "thug" for dressing like this:
and making signs like this:
See? It can be tasteless, but it's only a capital offense when young blacks do it.
So did violent riots help in bringing about charges? Is violence the only way to fight back? And we know who they are mostly fighting against. Right conservatives?
