Protester Shot in Head, Run Over in Genoa

[Max Sawicky]

Whether the police or the protesters in Genoa used force first doesn't
matter.  The elites which the cops are defending have done a hell of a lot
more violence to ordinary people then protesters would dream of doing even
to the elites.  In that context, any violence used at this protest is
basically self-defense by the working class against the exploiting class.

Oh perfect.

"That context" is in your head.  For everyone
else, the context is the contrary.  Whoever
can't see the difference shouldn't be in
politics.  Not that you're in politics.

Put it this way.  I've got a neighbor from
South America. He works the graveyard shift
as an operating engineer.  After he gets home
in the morning, he follows his daughter (in
his truck) while she runs X miles a day; she's
does cross-country.  On his truck he
has two bumper stickers.  One says, "Proud
to be union."  The other says, "Catholic
schools save taxpayers money."  He and his
wife are raising three kids.  One has joined
the Marines.  Well-behaved to a fault; calls
me "sir."  Periodically they have religious
services in their home.

Question:  why should he look at you, given
your statement, as anything other than someone
from a galaxy far, far away?
