‘Stop the Violence’ members beat up former roommate

Two “Stop the Violence” organizers allegedly beat one of their colleagues so severely that he vomited blood and was left unconscious in critical condition.

Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez, both 30, accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same “Stop the Violence” T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.

The indicators don't get any more profound than this case. It is obvious that violence is not going to stop. So the question becomes, are you prepared to survive the violence if and when it spills out of the barbarous enclaves? Are you prepared to survive at all — anywhere?
