Violent and nonviolent resistance often go hand in hand. They amplify each other's effectiveness, ideally leading to the nonviolent side teaching its goals.

I feel that right now we do see the American people moving in a similar direction – on the one have we have large protests that try to be as peaceful as possible, on the other hand we have people running ICE agents out of town.

This will probably intensify before the government is willing to negotiate, in lockstep with the government increasing its use of force. I hope that the violence will not escalate to an outright civil war before the government relents.

Good luck to everyone over there.
