Martin Luther King managed to create protests and a movement that DIDN'T get in people's faces or disrupting the business of innocent bystanders who have nothing to do with what you're protesting. He did it with a positive, uplifting, inspirational message that people of good sense could not help but agree with. These yahoos are doing the exact opposite. They couldn't be driving people AWAY from their cause any better if they were trying.

Does it really matter who said it? Hitler could have said it, and it would still be a good idea. The content makes sense, the sender is not important.

Thanks direpickle,
This quote was passed to me - it didn't even occur to me to fact check its authenticity.
I did find it strange MLKJr. had a quote for everything though - I guess he doesn't always, after -all.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Also, just for everyone's future reference, we can attribute the wrong part of that quote to the right person now.

Also, even when you get your quotations correct, they are bad logic.

hahaha....well as much as people would like it, MLK wasn't a made up character. Plus, the context wouldn't work; what, they throw a white MLK in jail for sitting at a white counter?>> ^GeeSussFreeK:

Yes.
How is this even a question?
And of course these police officers are being threatened as a result of this insanity. How else should one treat an enemy? Citizens should not put up with this eradication of freedom, and should do everything necessary to fight bondage and enslavement.
The police are supposed to protect citizens. Who protects citizens against the police when they do the opposite?


You ask, "How else should one treat the enemy?" Erm, maybe like Martin Luther King Jr did? Or Gandhi. Or others who show love instead of hate and who affect change.

Hate can solve problems... But more often it only creates more problems. And to further my point; some cops think exactly like you do Xax, and so the two sides will clash with equal motives and morality.

But your kind of road-rage=like response is hardly new or unique. Muslims use it. Dictators, neighbors, brothers, sisters, cops, drivers, society, they all use it... and so we have our fucked up world.

I get what you're saying Xax, but you note the problem yourself--insanity. Which side will bring the sanity back? Not the cop lovers, and not the cop haters...

And to answer the question of who protects citizens from the police; citizens do. They create the atmosphere of respect or hate, and they BECOME the police; so yeah, they do. I am sure if you were to become an officer, i.e., use the greatest means you have to make change, you could affect things for the positive. But you probably would never do that, become a police officer and make positive changes, I am assuming. You and I are a lot alike in that part--we talk, but we won't walk.

This is just weird. What happened before this clip started? Something happened. These were self-described "activists," there to be "active."

This thing just escalated weirdly. Why not just let them dance? It would have been over and done with and we wouldn't be watching this now.

Well, this will probably be used as a training tool -- what not to do. That is what happened with the cameras being called illegal -- court action to teach security forces the law.

Give me Gandhi and Martin Luther King. There are real activists. These guys bore me with their antics.

I'd take him out for a beer and just talk things out, man to man. We'd discuss Ghandi and Martin Luther King and the importance of peaceful protest. He is surprisingly receptive. At the other end of the bar, we notice a couple of ladies checking us out. I tell them I'm married, but urge Osama to go for it. He is a bit shy and nervous, but after a couple more drinks, his inhibitions melt away. The next few hours are kind of a blur, but the following morning Bin Laden knocks on my hotel room door. I let him in and he tells me all about his wild evening with the two women. He tells me he's done with religion and violence and that he plans to apologize for all the pain and suffering he's caused. But at that moment, Barack Obama emerges from behind a fern in full ninja regalia and slices Osama bin Laden's head off in one clean stroke.

I drop to my knees and scream towards the heavens. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Then Obama and I burst into laughter and do some fist bumps and a chest bump. At the same time, we say "Mission Accomplished." "Jinx!", I say, which means Obama has to pick up the check at dinner.

^It's a fake quote. Someone on reddit spotted it.
http://www.theatlantic.com/national/ar
chive/2011/05/out-of-osamas-death-a-fake-quotation-is-born/238220/
The real quote goes: “Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is fairly obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.


It seems depending on the source. This one's fake as well:

Says it's actually:

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." MLK Jr.
