-web

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Violence works even when the other side is not open to compromise.

First Pride "Parade" was a riot(Stonewall Riots) and the US Government finally caved on the Civil Right Movement because they realized they wouldn't be able to control it anymore. Governments are based on their monopoly on violence. If something threatens that, they can either put down the opposition or remove the reason the opposition has for being violent. It's a lesson the Right always knows and the Left keeps forgetting.
