The old adage about bullies being cowards really is true, and just standing up to them is sometimes enough to make them run. And good for your sister. I believe in a kinder, gentler, world, but to get there one must be prepared to be as hard and as ruthless as they are...

The left should definitely form self-defence groups, so no Nazis can push us around. But we are more than them, and if we deploy the power of peaceful protest like those amazing women just did, and turn that spirit into a mighty movement, we won't need violence to see them carried out in a wheelbarrow...

Not every WW2 German was a NAZI, but how would one determine who was a "good German"?<br /><br />The assailant in the video demonstrates moral courage, even if his or her act is not legal. Personally I think it was a woman who did the hit and run on this much larger man. In any case it was a smaller person. (Note that she used an "Empi Uchi" or elbow smash rather than a punch.) That act of moral courage came with a whole lot more risk than getting arrested. The bully counts on physical intimidation. The most likely outcome of throwing a punch was the start of a fight and in the USA that risks use of knives and guns. Nazi boy had his henchmen at his side. <br /><br />On a personal note, my Canadian Irish mother who was in the RCAF in 1945, always taught us that we would never be in trouble at home if we fought for the right reason. My sister punched out a bully who roughed up our younger brother in elementary school. Mom and Dad were proud of her. <br /><br />In conclusion, it may be morally necessary to punch a NAZI, even at the risk of being beaten, stabbed, killed or arrested. <br /><br />p2p<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-62887354984002446832017-01-24T07:30:26.687-05:002017-01-24T07:30:26.687-05:00Roger Waters - "Pigs (Three Different Ones)&q...Roger Waters - "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" <br />https://youtube.com/watch?v=QWLBtMz5OuY<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-84796758654433547062017-01-24T00:46:32.685-05:002017-01-24T00:46:32.685-05:00I think we have to Simon.

You know.. you're spinning perfect and true, balanced & on a lovely smooth surface.. really humming. And on that smooth surface are other tops doing the same thing. Lovely - Harmony. Those other tops are exemplars. You always want to be around them. <br /><br />Now if you choose to spin near unbalanced tops.. there's no upside - all downside - collisions are certain and will knock you off balance.. Now you're both unbalanced, ready to spin out.<br /><br />There's a moral to this story.. and you'll be among the least likely Canadians to need it explained. But stay far away from the unbalanced.. Don't engage, fight with them, or buy into their vicious twisted game. They're trying to drag you into their cage. Seek out exemplars - the payoff is astonishing.
