Powerful Protest
Not sure if what he did was a clever act of self promotion or a spontaneous action.
I consider this kind of protest more powerful than any kind of violence.
The video above reminded me of the so-called Tank Man.
When I posted the video made on June 5th, 1989 I prefered to call him Peaceman.
Going back to watch the embedded video again I had to learn that thanks to a certain nonprofit organisation, a so-called WGBH Educational Foundation it is not to be seen anymore.
Obviously making money is more worthwhile than educating.

Brave Defenders of Democracy
Taqiyya ... err ... Tayyip Erdoğan's pride: Five brave defender of democracy risking their lives against a heavily armed terrorist. |
See the joy in this brave civil policeman's face? |
And here another police hero defending democracy against a "Terror-Lady in Red" |
Okay, that's Turkey. Of course, such things could not happen in the most wonderful of all democracies in this universe and those yet to discover, could they?
Oops. Isn't that Lt John Pike defending the USA against a whole bunch of terrorists? |
I get the feeling as if only recently there was a man saying: "When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on."
Now, Lt. Pike and his brave Turkish comrades – they all definitely being beacons of intelligence – will teach this George Orwell, once they have caught him, I bet.
