<p>Andrew, you talk from your computer chair and I talk from experience. It takes guts to get out there in the streets and all I wanted to do is let them know I'm with them in spirit in Tunisia. I have felt the truncheon and the gas, the riot shield and the cold steel of the cuffs, the uncertainty of my right to due process in this country and the concern of world citizens that fear my government could do the same to them at anytime as well.</p>
<p>If that street fighting past marks me as a bad person in your or anyone's view, then you can go fuck yourself.</p>
<p>When every legal channel is exhausted and is so obviously corrupt, well some people are moved to action. That's all I was saying in this yet you troll from your computer chair and dare imply you are somehow more moral and intelligent than I?</p>
<p>Allow me to say this then, even though I feel I have done a lot more in my life than others in struggling for a cause, I never believed to be better than anyone else. I have always believed that within all of us is a special characteristic that when brought together as a whole shows its complete form and true greatness to overcome the worst of situations.</p>
<p>Today, in Tunisia, my theory in that sense was proven right. For those like yourself? You're no more than a nuisance of skewed opinion while the rest of us move forward.</p>
<p>So hate on hater, we shinin' bright!</p>
