re: #50 Dark_Falcon

But I’m surprised, Killgore. Given that the protestors have set up a tent city I’d expected you to be calling for them to be pepper-spray bombed and then arrested en masse.

Your surprise comes from misunderstanding my position. Use of political violence should be restricted to severe circumstances and authoritarian governments. I don’t know enough about the protesters in the Ukraine to endorse them or their actions but it seems like a severe situation. Not quite the same as a 20-something middle class white anarcho-marxist with an iPhone and a MacBook attacking an American police officer.
