Grandmother of teen killed in police stop calls for calm, as France sees sixth night of protest | CNN
The grandmother of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was fatally shot by a police officer in a Paris suburb last week, has called for an end to the violent protests that have swept the country since his death.
With all due respect to her, that's nonsense. Nothing changes without the real threat of property and material damage.
The only reason protests work is that those in power understand that the next step could involve violent opposition. Though it’s more than a bit reductive, it’s not untrue to say MLK was only successful because Malcom X was the alternative.
Until it is your property.
I wonder how her grandson would feel. I personally hated my grandmother and could easily see the piece of shit doing this. I should put in my will, "don't listen to old people."
