I don't see most people being willing or able to #riot. And I don't see #riots bringing about ANY real positive change. Violence makes a #ProtestMovement look bad, which is why groups like #MarchForOurLives demand their #protestors do not engage or be drawn into ANY violence.

The folks who can't afford to miss a rent payment definitely can't afford any jail time or criminal record. And most people are happy to #protest peacefully, but will gladly turn in any agitators in their midst.

Violence plays into the hands of the #fascists and builds UP the rhetoric of the other side, giving it validity in the eyes of its followers.

#PeacefulProtest requires patience, but it never fails in the long run.

The tyrants always fall... always.

We feel it is too late for #freeLicense systems to help serve the #frontlines of this #protestMovement.

The sad reality is 98% of #protesters will be using #proprietarySystems and services that are designed to track them, down to the #metadata that is in the #images and #videos they take and #share from their so-called "#smart" devices.

Smart - for whom?
