Simply complex

I agree that one does not resist arrest. It does show a lack of good sense but at the same time there are exceptions to every rule. This is not the issue I had with the previous statement. My issue was the: 'either mentally ill or drunk or on drugs' claim. This is an oversimplification which frames the incident in a way which 'obfusgates' the facts. You see, it is obvious that the student was not drunk or mentally ill. He was passionate and articulate and he takes issue with how our ability as a nation to vote for our president has been taken away. We no longer have a democracy. This is the heart of the issue. It is quite understandable in my eyes why someone would be so enthusiastic. It is called righteous exasperation.

Phalarope: Excellent addition to this thread.

The way I see it, this particular nation's number one industry is the military/weaponry complex. The number two industry is the prison/justice system. Thus, getting arrested only feeds the borg. When the criminal justice system becomes intrinsic to the health of a nation's economy then it becomes necessary to create a criminal class. In the not too distant future, the state will be taking your organs for a speeding violation.
