I see your point... But I also get that if you identify what's wrong address it with the group (Marc... I'm granting myself the expectation that you being a reasonable person for the time being might be able to grasp what I'm about to say), most everything this group has encountered has been resolved. And I am going to say this quite emphatically, cause I KNOW it's a fact and won't buy into the contrary from someone who isn't getting off their ass and going down locally, to at least observe the truth... 1)There's a group agreement that when in head to head contact with the cops, let them do the pushing. 2)I didn't look in the video like the group was violating that 3) The woman was about10 feet from the edge of the crowd. 4) I wonder if she got caught on the side of the crowd. 5)There's two big columns between crowd I see and the woman. And while there are clearly a couple of people who know it's happened, there's no cogent reason to believe the rest know yet. I got one response to a message on facebook from DC and the responder said her son rushed her out door behind the cops and around the crowd and into a mixture of people most of whom weren't protesters. He doesn't know any more than that but added, "The Fox story, is just that, a Story. Ask them why they didn't show the whole 5 minutes of uninterrupted video they took!". I don't know what that means, but I sent him a direct message asking him to clarify. Okay, the bugs have all left to nurse their hangovers… for now. I should clarify that when I say things like “I don’t give a shit about policies” I don’t mean to say that I consider such things of no relevance. Rather, I don’t like seeing them used as excuses to justify shitty behavior. I accept the fact that people are going to start pointing fingers and justifying actions. I accept that as normal human behavior. It just depresses me how quickly it starts. It depresses me (and sometimes pisses me off royally) how easily we can dehumanize the other. If we want to have a more peaceful and just world, this will never work. I dunno, maybe humanity needs to evolve some more.
