This video was captured on April 29, 2014 in Manchester, in the ‘shire. Anthony Battistelli made clear that he believes an action is just for himself but unjust for another. I don’t believe there are or should be two classes of people. The way we change that is through ideas.

Ideas that say it’s ok for some to steal from their neighbors under the guise of “protection” – are not consistent. That contradiction exists only when a double-standard is allowed for, hence the importance of speaking out at every iteration.
