[lbo-talk] how non-violence protects the state

[shag carpet bomb]

i was looking for churchill's lectures as an answer to the person who
asked about carrol's comment about scabs. Basically, Ward Churchill
takes the position that pacifists are scabs. At any rate, I came
across this site, which slayed me, especially with all the f bombs
that Catron mentioned, but also some other hilarious stuff on their
pulpit of profanity.

Loved this line: they run around bearing moral witness and speak truth
to power, as if power doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.
excellent!

Personally, I found this heartwarming:

2:10 a.m. Injured man is taken away in ambulance

After protesters called for help several times, an ambulance finally
arrived to take away the injured man.

Graham Holoch, a student at the California college of the arts in
Oakland, was a volunteer medic who tended to the man, using medical
supplies he brought in a backpack.

"When we got him on the stretcher," he said, "his vitals were pretty
shaky."

Holoch said he believed the man had been shot in the knee with a
rubber bullet and gassed.

His friends called the man's relatives and his pastor.

"He seems fine, but it's definitely better to get him medical
attention," said Holoch, who is also a photographer.

As paramedics carried the man to the ambulance, a bruise could be seen
on his knee.

Before leaving, one paramedic told the volunteer medics: "By the way,
we do support what you're doing."
