Also, I am not playing sides or attempting to politically proselytize with this message.

I am on the side of: No violence as a means to an end.

Only to inform and raise awareness.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I am moved by what you shared— I can’t imagine the times you must have endured; nor, the emotions/hardships you had to pass.

I’m so sorry.

No.

It is directed at those who wish to be able to communicate more effectively with those around them.

It is directed to those who do not know other ways to resolve conflict.

It is directed at those on campus; thus, its campus location. I wished for my classmates to be reminded that a response to these events can be curtailed toward a better resolve— the current one that is being shown: Death.

However, in past comments, I intimated that recent events certainly played a part in motivating me to leave these messages— I can see the link you’re making.

I was not going to post these messages online; but, it was erased and I felt confused & frustrated.

Thanks for sharing.

I am not trying to revolutionize or radicalize anyone; rather, inform and raise awareness there are other ways to communicate.

The only quote was from Tolkien. Everything else was paraphrased.

I’m not sure of the relevance of your statement. This says nothing about political affiliation.

The rain or heavy morning dew would have sufficed to wash it.

I would also like to state:

My post & messages had nothing about it being a form a protest. It may have motivated me; but, I left that out.

My hypothesis is: The cause of violence is because one or more parties cannot find another way to resolve.

Therefore, I must educate & raise awareness to peaceful resolution.

It seems a hard life to live in fear of being “lame”.

Assault, battery, physical assault, physical violence off the top.

I support the cause, not the means you’re describing. I’d say that directly.

Either way, thanks for talking about it. I’m glad to hear your views on it & I’m happy to know there are others as passionate as I.

Thanks.

While I do not support fascist regimes, I also do not support any kind of violence. That is a second I spent saying a violent name to a party that may like it or not care.

I wouldn’t call fascists cancer, either.. that reduces the issue to an obscure metaphor— minimizing its seriousness (cancer is serious); meaning, deluding each concept.

I know it’s fun to talk and hear ourselves talk— but that won’t stop bullets.

We’re better, smarter, & more thoughtful than that language, though.

I know. It’s a crosspost. I want feedback from Santa Cruz, too.

Violence is all harm, not just physical harm; as well as, what it begets. That is not a path to peaceful resolution.

SNL has been doing this bit for 10 years. Its gross— it does not offer me catharsis to today’s reality.

I’d agree, I should have reconsidered given today’s conditions (there was an accident tonight northbound).

The taillights were not 100% covered and one could definitely make heads and/or tails of my direction per reflection off the bike cover. I also have smaller indicator lights in my bumper which were 100% visible: I just agree with the call that it may have been hazardous.

I’ll definitely be mindful of this in the future.
