Different government responses to different protests:



Text

Funny how when people hit the streets because they are being unjustly killed in their communities, or because corporations & richies are ripping us off, or because we don’t want an oil pipeline on our aquifer - they send an army with tanks, but 500 fascists get a dude on a bike.

Wear the "right" uniform and state the "right" messages?
Welcome to the Capitol.

Want to scream and threaten and beat and gas the police?
If you're a white mob, be our guest!
If you're a minority or persons of color?
Better duck and cover, because these rounds are live...

If your message is congruent with the current power structure, we are OK. Do and say what you wish...
If your message is for change and peace and a new paradigm, you are fucked. Get out and stay out hippies...

And as always...the dirty fucking hippies? Were right.
