How long?

How long? How long can you expect people to be abused by lawless police and court system designed to railroad the poor into jails and prisons? How long can you watch the Jeff Bezos of the world profit from our misery?

Violence employed by the police, the FBI and other security agencies have devolved into occupying forces to protect the ultra wealthy and their exclusive interests exposes the fiction that we live under the rule of law and the treason of ruling elites.

Stokley Charmichael said, "In order for non-violence to work your opponent must have a conscience."

As we have seen in the riots our open enemy is bereft of any sort of conscience. If they can use rubber bullets, freezing water and allow White Terrorists armed with assault rifles run thru DAPL. All of it given the go ahead by the state. State violence is inevitably met with counter-violence.

So again I ask. How long do you expect someone to watch their children go hungry? How much longer do they think we will remain idle and watch our loved ones suffer or die from lack of medical care? How long can you expect people to be abused by

We are essentially serfs ruled by obscenely wealthy, omnipotent masters who have looted the treasury, pay little to no taxes and have perverted the judiciary system, the media and congress and the senate in order to strip our liberties away which gives them the freedom to commit financial fraud and theft.

My preference is non-violence but as I have grown older I have seen the poison that is violence. I also know that when everything around you conspires to crush you, the only way left, ONLY WAY LEFT to affirm yourself is to destroy , not only the structures and institutions around you but often yourself.

The riots are not only about another Black man murdered by cops it is a frantic fight to get back power over our own lives.

I have no answers. I've been awake since four, I just pray for everyone. I was insoired by Chris Hedges from Common Dreams to write this down. If you don't know who that is then make yourself familiar with him please.
