The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.

    Voting is the proper way to overthrown the government. The other ways are more violent.

      What about when the “proper” way doesn’t work?

        Nothing wrong violence as a last resort. Especially in reply to violence used against you.

          I’m not a violent person. I abhor it honestly.

          That being said, actual self defense is always valid.

          That’s why I train and carry.

            Yep. Pacifism without an exception for self defense is just suicide to me.
