Ro left an important comment this morning. Seriously consider what she says. I am in absolute agreement with her:
Whatever you do, do NOT return violence for violence. LET THE POLICE handle it.
Protect your head and face if they are kicking you.
They want to provoke you so the government has the justification to crack down on you. These are "probing" incidents, to see how we react.
We should take a page from the MLK Jr. playbook - non-violent all the way.
In DC - every single person should have a camera at the ready.
It is too bad that the DC marchers do not have training in dealing with professional provacateurs, but perhaps an e-mail could go out from the sponsoring organizations.
And RevereRidesAgain added this:
Lawsuits may be the way to go, but they are costly and time-consuming and about as much guarantee against violence as are restraining orders. Whatever the means, it must be made clear to the thug-in-chief that we will not back down.

Just for knowing, I am trying to get an e-mail for the Dick Armey group. They are having training sessions, but I don't know what they include. Plus, not everyone there will have the benefit of those sessions.

support Thomas More Law ...and et al...so-when we sue ---we have ready advocates...
Learn from the Dark Side--Oh-I 'stated' that....
I agree anon. We don't know how to be savvy on the street, and we need to.
And I agree on supporting the public interest law firms as well.
I got an e-mail off to a sponsoring organization, I think (no bounce back yet), so we will see.

Nonviolence works against the western conscience
Else it is suicide
Are those who oppose us in possession of such a conscience?
I think so, but I am by no means certain that ENOUGH OF THEM DO to avoid a complete civil break if the president is even 99.75% opposed to intimidation, threat and riots in favor of his ultimate aim. He must leave

100% and threats of the kind of enforcement Ike did in 1954
Any takers he will do THAT?
After the voting incident in Phila?
What did Ike do in 1954? I don't remember and when I googled it all I got was UFO sites about Ike's alleged clandestine meeting with "Nordic-appearing" space aliens. Klaatu barada nikto...
As for whether Obama will go 100% against bullying, threats, and intimidation in support of his agenda, why would he start now?
He sent the army/mobilized guard in to little rock to be sure one girl could be safely taken into, and kept in school, and told them to be prepared to shoot if there was violence as a result
