Jesse Jackson

by Advencher Wynn

Jesse Jackson was by default the last of the civil disobedience icons. From Thoreau to Gandhi to MLK. In Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom he described why Civil Disobedience wasn't an option in South Africa (same as Palestine today). When only one side has constitutional protection Civil Disobedience does not work. King's march to Selma could've ended up like the Sharpville massacre in South Africa if not for the constitutional recourse. Sounds like Trump wants to encourage the Kent State outcome too. He wants that photo opp!Mandela who actually won the Nobel Prize justified founding a terrorist group over this lack of constitutional protection. Good people sometimes have to do bad things. Trump is at war. This is his Blitzkrieg. Either November will bring about change or you better have the plan to bomb some power stations because occupying public spaces will only empower Trump.
