decent totw.
i tend to lean towards the approach of punching elsewhere, strategically. figuring out where that should be, how to punch and when, are the big questions.
i think about large protests, where you have a good sized mass of people in a given area and timeframe, with that space-time being a locus of law enforcement. great fucking distraction! i could never figure out why there aren't more clandestine - and possibly more effective - actions away from the eye of the law. it could even be coordinated with groups at the protest, in various ways. maybe that kind of thing does happen and i am not aware. and obviously some folks do more clandestine actions, completely independent of the "cover" of a protest.
facing off with riot cops has its use, no question. it's been a long time, but i've been there. it just doesn't do anything for me other than in that moment, and that's not a moment i care to relive constantly. guess i fail the strugglissimo test.
