Without a doubt unlawful protest and violence is the only way. There are no peaceable ways to achieve change. Empower the movement brother!

Also sidenote, while you're cynical jab of a statement was teeming with sarcasm, it also contained - whether to your knowledge or not - an undertone of truth and a valid argument. Can true change be achieved through peaceable means? I'd argue no, and that true change can only be enacted through escalation. History seems to be presenting us with this truth daily as we're bearing witness to the Arab spring. Tyrannical rule and deprivation of rights was brought down by the violent rebellions in Egypt and Libya. While in America we like to believe in peaceful protest based on our history of civil disobedience against the broken system of segregation, we have another broken system to contend with in the monstrosity that our government has become.
So I do agree with you vaylorie, where peaceful protest fails, only violence, as an unfortunate means to an end, will really bring about the downfall of our current broken system and allowed for a rebirth of what America was actually founded upon.
