Yeah...

Your mass assassinations plan doesn't work when there is a camera on every corner and traffic light. L Dog was always going to get caught if he hadn't fled the country within hours of blapping that exec. You are also apparently assuming everyone is Jason Bourne in your fantasy and are a highly trained guerilla fighting force that can blend in and out of everything.

You pick your targets when and where you can get them.

Yeah. The difference between being the chosen one in a young adult novel and actually accomplishing anything of value is what taking out your "target" accomplishes.

And... a great example of that is Palestine. For the sake of simplicity, let's call what Hamas did "attacking a target". What was the outcome of that? Israel had "justification" to engage in mass ethnic cleansing for over a year.

Unless, of course, you plan on giving up without a fight, in which case we clearly have such different outlooks that additional discussion will not help us find common ground.

I believe in fighting for change in ways that can actually protect others and accomplish things. Rather than fantasizing about living in a Call of Duty commercial and just painting an even bigger target on the backs of the groups I claim to be helping.

If you or the other "Buy a gun, it is the only thing you can do. I hear Fred's on 4th street have great deals on assault rifles!" folk had ACTUALLY engaged in any activism whether peaceful or otherwise you would have long since had it explained to you: YOU DO NOT BRING A FUCKING GUN TO A PROTEST. Because the moment the other side sees it? They open fire. Because cops will give a bottle of water to the white kid with an assault rifle looking for some n*****s to kill. They'll fucking murder anyone who looks even slightly brown if they have a bulge in their jacket pocket.
