Louis: Okay. let me spell things out. The black bloc is a counter-productive tactic no matter the intentions of those that carry it out. When you wear masks and go on window-breaking rampages, it allows the state to discredit the entire movement. It also leads to terrible victimization. A number of people who had nothing to do with the window-breaking idiocy on Inauguration Day were swept up by the cops and now face lengthy prison terms. Actually, all the charges against the Inauguration Day detainees have been dropped by prosecutors. Of the 21 people who admitted their guilt, only one person did four months in jail; the rest were not sentenced at all. No one is facing a lengthy prison term. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/federal-prosecutors-abruptly-dismiss-all-remaining-inauguration-day-rioting-cases/2018/07/06/d7055ffe-7ee8-11e8-bb6b-c1cb691f1402_story.html _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
