We have been leading by example and it hasn't gotten much traction. Repukes never change until they are directly effected it seems. I know we should detest all forms of violence no matter who it is against. I'm not a perfect person so unfortunately I get frustrated with constantly being told to turn the other cheek. Sometimes I just want the privileged white repukes to suffer the same violence they condone against others.
