What would we have him do ? <| sep |> YOU LIKE DAK ! ?<| sep |> Well , they certainly did not show up today . <| sep |> I tried pushing and she stopped speaking to me , just recently she is talking to me again . But it feels like he ' s planted a mental landmine in her brain . Never bring him up , never question the insane things he says and does to her or . she will disconnect from us . <| sep |> Bad boyz 2 ? <| sep |> No worries , you ' ll see him on the field again next week . I have no idea why he ' s on the active roster <| sep |> I ' m not referring to public image . I ' m specifically referring to the fact that if these protesters were armed , police would not be beating them , would not be spraying them with water cannons . The question was , can armed civilians resist the government , and the treatment of these two groups shows that it makes a marked difference . On a more practical note , the water protectors are rich in public support already , and even among hard left democrats i think you ' d be hardpressed to find someone who takes issue with an armed defense of a First Nations sacred site against an oil pipeline . The nonlethal police methods currently in use are endangering lives . This is exactly the reason that armament remains entrenched in our list of fundamental rights 200 years later . It ' s their choice not to exercise that right , but i have no doubt that if they were we would not be looking at the police acting with impunity as we are now . At the very least , if they had guns , maybe the fucking president would say something about this whole mess .
