Peace people, don't let the wackos get to you

[uppityperson]

There are scared people and ignorant people and misguided and crazy and just plain bad people in the world. Sometimes people do bad things. It is fine to be hurt, to get angry, to get outraged at people being inhumane and hurting people and things. But please try to not over react to any 1 misguided fool.

Save your energy for the bigger fights (Mr.bush and his evil minions for example), harness your emotions to be used in positive ways (such as expessing your sorrow and outrage about this to people who call you radical unfeeling liberals).

And realize that any time one of these fools does something sooooooo stupid as to drive over a line of crosses put up for our dead friends and family, the media coverage that follows will far outweigh that of these fools who does something bumpishly stupid as shooting off his shotgun in frustration at his life being disrupted.

Get the pictures, get the videos, spread them around to ANY and ALL media you can find. But peace, please, peace is what we are doing this for.

Death is not the most frightening thing to me and I do not fear dieing so much as dieing for a really stupid reason. uppityperson

1. I want video footage... we don't care and the crosses... these people

have to be exposed!

[uppityperson]

2. They do need to be exposed.

This was a tremendously stupid thing that someone just did.

4. if there is footage of a truck running over those crosses...

we need that on every single station......I'm sure it has a support the troops sticker on it.


I hope the sheriff didn't let this happen without consequence.

17. Pictures, videos, written, radio and tv coverage

Don't let this not be covered. Use your energy for this. And don't kick the next fool because you are still mad at this one.

Peace.

3. Thanks, I was just thinking about kicking a Freepers ass tomorrow

Must.....exercise......restraint....motherfuckers.....ok

[mtnsnake]

5. LOL!

:evilgrin:

10. You may kick a particular freepers ass porportionately

to what that particular freep did. You can't kick hard enough to carry over all your frustrations though. Now go do it to another for what that freeper did. Repeat again and again. It is good if you have pictures of why you are kicking that one's ass

7. I am right here, with you,...

:hug: Let's never be fools,...ever. WE CAN DO THIS, TOGETHER!!!

8. Thanks for the reminders...

sometimes the unmitigated gall of this administration and their bushbot followers gets me so upset that I start feeling extremely hateful. Then I realize that hateful is how they feel every day, and it sucks the soul out of you. I never want to be like them, sometimes gentle reminders help. :toast: :)

18. It is very easy to let our emotions run away with us.

We must watch to make sure that we use our emotions in positive ways. It is ok to get angry, it is necessary to get angry sometimes. I will never deny anyone that. What you do with that anger and frustration and other feelings is what is important. Fools will be exposed. Angry people doing foolish things will turn people away from their cause. It can be difficult, can be very difficult, but look and think and don't just react.

9. Some whacko, like this guy or Larry may incite a fucking riot

That's cause for alarm. The pack of rabid dogs are already foaming at the mouth.

[eleny]

11. He could have killed someone

[uppityperson]

12. That is why we must continue to stand together for peace

Every time something like this happens people who were non-supportive will look again and some will convert.

Avoiding mob mentality is difficult but can be done. Harness your anger and frustration and use it wisely.

15. Do they really want to cannonize these people and inflame the country?

If they do, then let them be foolish. There MUST be a leader on their side somewhere with some sense. Oh, I forgot that leadership starts at the top :banghead:

[lonestarnot]

13. Good points! All!

[marions ghost]

14. right

stay cool
media blast it
put the crosses back

[uppityperson]

16. Exactly, red tape the crosses back together, put them back up

They might get knocked down again and again but each time more and more people will turn IF they hear about it which is why the media need to be involved. When the pictures get developed, send them out. If they don't, let the media know and they can come take pictures tomorrow of broken crosses, taped together again.
