20. I have a question for you: what methods should have been used on Martin Luther King, Jr.?
he was arrested multiple times during the Civil Rights Movement.

are you saying that had pepper spray, had it been available then, been used on him when he was nonviolently protesting and at times occupying places the police didn't want him?

if you're saying the protestors now deserve to be pepper sprayed (do you mean point blank in the face?) then you're a hypocrite if you don't think he should have been treated the same way.

but my guess is that you won't state an opinion about Martin Luther King, Jr. because what you really think about him is nothing you would dare post here.

or you can surprise us with a progressive thought about what you think of him and how he should have been handled.
