their job is to escalate the situation. be like the kid who stoically stood while the crybully indian fellow beat a drum in his face. the restraint the kid showed was inspiring, and he won in the end. anyone who loses their cool most likely intended to all along. the most effective peaceful protestor is one who stands strong and quiet in the face of the storm. double points for those protestors who are armed, and stand quietly at the ready. think of how chilling it would be to have thousands of peaceful men standing stock still and silent. and the only voices heard were the rabble rousers. it isn't one mans voice. it is millions of mens presence. standing in a line and simply stating "no further" with their body language. its what the police do, learn from them. in fact the police and the patriot protestors stand for the same thing. they stand against chaos. they stand for order.
