General protests are worthless, yell and shout all you want they have no incentive to listen and thus they never will. We must give them incentive to listen, a sharp incentive, maybe on a like a blade on a rope in a wooden track, and maybe you put their head in it?

Violence is not the answer, we’re taught. Most people believe it, and heck, I’ve said it myself.

But you know what else isn’t the answer?

Peaceful picketing. Sending a letter to your Congresscritter. Going to meetings...

Good people have done all those things, without success since the 1960s — back when protests carried an undertone of “or else.”

What’s needed is more of “or else.”
