      I like how three people downvoted you, like what are they thinking, “no don’t be violent just get raped instead, much more civil”

          The US schoolsystems have been brainwashing that shit into the compliant masses for decades. Just look at how the civil rights movement is covered. All about MLK and peaceful marches, sit ins etc. They barely talk about the bombings, the black Panthers carrying guns, the violence constantly done to demonstrators. Push how peaceful it all was… Laughable.

          Nothing changes without disruption. Sit ins have to be where you sit somewhere that messes with people’s ability to do business. Protests have to be disruptive. People need to have to push through picket lines and feel uncomfortable doing it. It’s easier for things to stay the same. So if you aren’t forceful about it, they will.

      Use of lethal force is a positive defense for homicide in all US states when one is under imminent threat of serious bodily injury and I am pretty sure rape falls under that. This law comes from common law so I wonder if India also inherited this from England?
