acting Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko issued a public warning at 4 p.m. to protesters to clear the streets within two hours: “If by 6 p.m. the lawlessness doesn't cease, we shall be forced to used all legal means to bring order.”
So, protesting against a government that remains in place clearly against The People's will is "lawlessness", but killing and hurting/maiming protesters to shut them the fuck up is Lawfulness (and Good, naturally)?
In summary: The people do not want the current government to be in power, and the current government brutalizes them into submission, aaaand.. Yay democracy, Yay governments, Yay rulers?
Here's a set of simple rules to follow:
1) Lawful = Good
2) Unlawful = Bad
3) Anything your rulers do = Lawful
4) Anything you do to oppose your rulers = Unlawful
- cpncrunch 13y agoFrom what I can see, most of the violence seems to be perpetrated by the protesters against the police. No matter how bad the government is, violence isn't the way to change anything (especially not when you are dealing with Putin).
