Comments for "Resist!"

Excellent video, t*t.   As the narrator says, the time to make that decision is now before it happens. The expression, 'I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees' comes to mind.

Thanks for posting it.

***** five stars time*treat! And I'd like to add... calling the police for help is often calling them to take a report after the event. So, yes, we must plan ahead how to deal with situations. Heck, sometimes 911 is a recording, all lines are busy. Also, if you are being forced to another location like "get into the car" at gun point, the advice of police is do not get in the car. It's better to deal with it right there, whether it's screaming, kicking, running or all of the above. The odds are much worse against you if you are taken to another location.

I was remined of a quote by Solzhenitsyn, the great Russia writer:


"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation....We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
