Agreed...When a night stick is coming down on your head, knowledge of your rights doesnt mean much in the moment.

Every man and woman MUST stand up for what they know is right. You can't be foolish about it however.

Rolling over just gives up ground.

Hiding is a strategic option when in a weakened position of overwhelming odds where you might recover, but hiding, as in non-confrontation, as a general rule is not one's best option if one is to retain what belongs to you.

Hiding from the standpoint of fear, emboldens the aggressors.

In the face of certain harm or death, I say strike as many killing blows as possible. If you are to be ended, take at LEAST one with you.

Dying in defense of oneself puts fear in the lives of those doing the killing.

The bunnies who bites back strike terror in the hearts of their tormentors.



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.
