This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Yeah
He'd done the same thing - up to them and 'round and 'round a few times before.

As I said - if you poke a dog with a stick, it may well bite you. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's fact. Thus a way to reduce the chances of being bitten, is to not poke dogs with sticks.

Or, in this case, goad the police.

oh, please.
if you're policing a demonstration you expect will become violent (which it will, what with the kettling and the provocation and that), you really shouldn't be enraged to the point of assault by a man walking up to you with his hands in his pockets a couple of times.

Hence my not saying it's right.
But saying it's fact.

If you're a human being in society, you shouldn't go out looking for trouble.

Not that you'd believe it on any given night in a big city.

A good argument if we were talking about a guy who got bitten by a dog after poking it with a stick
But we're not. We're talking about a guy getting assaulted and killed by those charged with maintaining law and order after he walked around with his hands in his pockets.
