In a sense there was huge civil unrest happening in Ukraine. There was animosity between Eastern Ukrainians and the rest of the country. Those living in the East were Politically Pro-Russian because most all the jobs and economic activity in the Eastern area was with Russian trade.
Before the coup in Kiev even got serious, the Eastern Folks wanted to negotiate some sort of autonomy if ever the rest of Ukraine chose to go completely West and/or with NATO. The Eastern Folks felt they had no real political influence within the Kiev political system itself.
There are not many instances thus far, and where it can be said that the Eastern (Pro-Russia) folks are attacking and killing people in Kiev. (The seat of government.)
However; there has been a systematic attack carried out by the Kiev government to destroy all the infrastructure and every major factory which is situated in the East, just like NATO did in Libya and what Israel did in Gaza.
The East wants some "independence" (some respect" like a regular Federal Democratic State has. They are not demanding total independence, they are asking only for a negotiated Autonomy.
Autonomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Poor Folks in America are asking that their voices be heard and to be given some sort of "Political Respect" in the same way the Eastern Folks in Ukraine set out to do.
When the Folks in Baltimore destroyed the pharmacy, they were destroying infrastructure in the same way that the government forces were doing in Eastern Ukraine.
The cost of destroying infrastructure in Ukraine is a form of National Suicide in order to have the Eastern Folks brought to their knees.
The Ruling Class always play for "Keeps".
In Baltimore; if the protesters want to win anything at all, they must make the cost too prohibitive for the Ruling Class to ignore. The Ruling Class need to understand that either they deal with the issues raised by protesters or the National Suicide scenario is at the doorstep. The protesters must be prepared to drive major cities towards higher property taxes just to pay the "Policing Costs" alone.
Protests must take place where the Middle Class live ..... Not in the Lower Class neighbourhood itself. Nothing is gained by destroying your own cars and stuff ..... It must be done in city central. The Ruling Class must shown that it is cheaper for the Ruling Class to begin serious negotiations than to pay the security and infrastructure damage. It may take a lot of damage and policing costs over an extended period of time, but sooner or later the Ruling Class must come to the negotiating table.
Because of the curfew, protesters need to aimlessly enter buildings during business hours in the center of the city and there will be a huge cost of having security investigate you before being allowed to enter ..... every Upper Class shopper will have their shopping experience seriously delayed. A huge cost to city infrastructure. Maybe to forget and leave your shopping bag in the store and the disruption would be just as if the TSA found an abandoned bag at an airport. Lots of financial cost for robots and specialty police services involved in securing every abandoned bag.
..... And up the ante during the hot days of summer and where the cops dressed in riot/military gear need to turn the fire hoses on themselves just to cool off.
