You see, sometimes you turn the other cheek, try to walk away, and the abuser, state or otherwise depending on your situation; comes at your twice as hard. They aren't happy with wounding and causing you great harm, they want your life from you. Without regard for your life, your dignity, your Human Rights, even Gods wishes for which they will be repaid by God regardless of your response to the abuse. In fact, your very essence as a human being.
As was stated, this isn't a bad day or a couple of bad years, this is permanent. Your very being and existence stolen from you. For someone who fought on principle and faced an abuse unmatched by anyone I have known, there can only be one response. I want to thank those liberty loving citizens wherever they reside for fighting the good fight with courage and conviction.
