RE: Philadelphia Repression: What Can Be Done?

This is pathetic.  A group of activists show up in Philly fully intending to
violate the laws in a systematic attempt to shut the town down.  And then
they're shocked--shocked!!--to find that they're being unceremoniously flung
into cages.  What a bunch of morons.

Gandhi and King understood that when you commit civil disobedience, you
expect to get punished.  It comes with the territory.  Now we've got a
birdbrained band of white, middle-class twits, used to living comfortable,
cossetted lives, and fully expecting the coppers to let them slide, no
matter what they do.  These half-wits are actually stunned to discover that
the laws apply to them, and will be enforced.  Welcome to the real world,
guys.
