MLK was not the only civil rights leader around at the time. Tell us your thoughts on Malcolm X and the black panthers seeing as you're so disapproving of the comments made that you're seriously attempting to invoke MLK. With MLK all three were considered terrorists. All three are revered in the black community.
I said in my original post that violence is not the answer but I get that when a person starts acting provocatively and violently they're the one who need to address ther behaviour and not so much the person who reacts to their provocation.
