Muriel wrote:Its unfair and unreasonable to make a blanket accusatory statement that cunningly starts 'We are too hypocritical ,,,' I am a law abiding citizen and I will speak from experience. I was also, once upon a time, in such a roughly similar situation. We were the 'grabbers' because our school needed expansion and the administrators struck a deal with the then municipal council to acquire some few tens of square metres of public land. Officers from the nearby AP camp thought it was not a good idea and brought down the chainlink fence the school had erected. We the students witnessed the altercation between the officers and the teachers, saw the demarcation being brought down and on our own left class and went to 'protect our school'. No one 'allowed' us to do that. Our spontaneous actions brought the matter to the fore of the town and the mayor sided with us and that settled the matter. Today when I walk past that school, I remember that day and when I see the pupils of today enjoying the space that we 'fought for' and were also teargassed for let me just say you cannot feel more human. Therefore, I cannot but feel wounded when you make such a snide remark about 'hypocrisy'. They are the hypocrites! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

What kind of person would walk into a school and fence off the playfield and claim it is his land? Then you have a group of people saying that the grabber should be given a chance to be heard by a court of law for him to justify the theft? No wonder we are a banana republic.

'Activist' with a teargas canister is taking protests to the highest levels. And those children being teargased inside the school itself by another 'activist' in police uniform. 10m wall ...........  Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.

No one here would have sent their kids to school that day. Talking is easy. Kids were in the wrong place -battle field, fighting a good cause.
This is kenya where protests could mean death.
Our activists and cops are very primitive during protests. A protest cannot be without teargas, blood, injuries or death. Knowing that Why would I allow my child to go? I care too much, to let them fight what I can fight.
Its better if Adults became heroes for the kids. Not kids becoming heroes for adults. Take the battle front if you so much care.
It's a sickening kind of heroism, when kids fight for society's right, almost sadistic. Nothing to applaud.
So how will they teach these kids lessons on conflict resolution without justifying violence?
Well its a sick uncivilised society, mtoto umleavyo.. tick tock 20 yrs later.

It was not a protest/demonstration;Based on my understanding there was no violence used apart from the use of force and tear gas by rogue "activists" Does it mean that when you take away a pencil,book,food from a kid, they should not protest but leave it to adults to protest on their behalf? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Nkaissery amefanya jambo la busara kabisa. Not that all should now be swept under the carpet. His presence there will be etched on those young minds more permanently and in a more pleasant fashion than the teargas. Like I did of the mayor. It really doesn't take that much to create and be a pleasant, assuaging memory to a child.
