#3 = you’re discouraged from speaking for yourself publicly. In-fighting only.
If that’s not the case, then rewrite it. Otherwise I will be there to vote against this.
Your proposal sounds great, except that we cannot enforce the 2nd rule. I do not believe in all my years of protesting here in the SF area that the black bloc people have ever respected any proclamation of any leader or any body of protestors. So this proposal would effectively declare open season.
Oh you mean legitimize vandalism. I’ll be there to vote against.
