“Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.” bbc.com/future/article/20190… via @BBC_Future

3.5% ... I like that rule ... if Trump keeps sending in Federal troops ... we're likely to hit that number ... so ... keep it up Donald!

Physical strength, moral courage, intellectual discipline, engaging non-violent protest, shames attackers, in this land of the free! This home of brave patriots, to whom rebels yield, is love standing stronger, providing a shield, against every blow, from those who don't know!

3 months of riots have already accomplished more than 30 years of voting and peaceful marches. We need more, not less if we are to reclaim our country!

We have a constitution which allows people the freedom to live and let live. Most want government action on everything with no consideration of the value of life, Liberty and property—as long as someone is further enslaved to our god government we think justice is done—pitiful.

I have mixed feelings. I agree to non violence and its benefits. history shows this is not true for major changes. Look at the peacefull palestinians protests in the recent years..they've been sniped out. French revolution and US revolution were not bloodless, etc..

Too bad Portland isn't non violent

Sorry, and excuse me for saying this, but that article is full of a bunch of bullsh*t. For one, the People Power Revolution included THE MILITARY and many armed groups around the country. Georgia literally had a war. I stopped reading after that. Clearly propaganda.
