N. D. B. Connolly, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, urges liberal protesters to ‘start throwing rocks’ to drive out those with whom they disagree.

While stoning has a long history in Arabic culture, it has not typically been a feature of Western civilization, except in such notable literature as Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land and Shirley Jackson’s short story, The Lottery.

Connolly deploys a shaky metaphor of ‘rock paper scissors’ in an effort to justify his demand that liberals take up stoning as a form of protest against ‘neo-Nazis’ and ‘segregationists’.

"Segregationists have again assumed their pedestals in the Justice Department, the White House and many other American temples. Paper alone won’t drive them out. Start throwing rocks."

It is unclear how Connolly intends to identify the individuals he wishes to be stoned.

Rock, paper, scissors (RPS) is a strategy game dating back to 18th century Japan that involves making simultaneous hand gestures, one of which always overpowers the other. Rocks beats scissors, and scissors beat paper while paper beats rock. According to players at the World RPS Tournament, a safe bet is to throw scissors, and a winning bet against an aggressive opponent is to throw paper.

In Connolly’s calculus, paper is liberalism, scissors is white supremacy and armed self-defense or non-violent direct-action is rock. Ostensibly, when Connolly calls for the throwing of rocks, he means that white supremacy must be challenged with stoning in the form of armed resistance, where non-violence does not work.

"Resistance, be it forceful or clandestine, threatened or explicit, stands as our “rock.” Rocks can look like armed self-defense or nonviolent direct-action campaigns. They appear, too, as blunt, bald public speech about the hatred arrayed against the dispossessed."

According to Connolly’s own metaphor, white supremacy (scissor) is the least likely choice, and against an aggressive opponent (rock), liberalism (paper), or the war of words and ideas, is the winning strategy.

Stoning remains legal in fifteen countries around the world. It is unlikely to become legal in the United States of America, despite the support and advocacy of elite university professors like Dr. Connolly.

This kind of talk is acceptable now, as long as it comes from the "correct" side.  This selective application of laws and selective recognition of rights is leading to a very dark place, and it's a place where even these assholes will regret going to.

Both sides are itching for the gloves to come off. The media is more then willing to get that to happen.

I will defend myself and family, but I won't be rushing to the front lines. I figure the useful idiots will be plentiful for that.

But I do expect the left to throw the first shot.

I believe that getting them shot is a goal. Violence against the state is now accepted and expected.

At that point, the propoganda media can accelerate the pace and elevate the rhetorical calls for police violence against the right and .gov intervention.

Keep in mind that the Intifada in Israel was preceded by stone throwing ...and it has blossomed into an industrial military effort with international backing.

The hand of Obama is strong in this one.
