buywithme[Filtered to all inmates]
Brothers, Sisters, the time is now. We make our stand and take this place, or we die trying. We have numbers, we have supplies, and we have weapons. Anyone who's interested in making a stand, get to the dining room. First we fortify, then we fight.
[Posted about half an hour later, public.]
Attention all wardens:
This is a declaration of war.
The recent inter-dimentional rift you have been so desperately claiming isn't a flood has given us enough allies to stand a chance against you. More importantly, it has given us not just the dream, but the certainty that a better world is still out there somewhere! And with the knowledge that such a world is possible, there comes not just the drive, not just the call, but the duty as breathing inhabitants of this imperfect universe, not to try and reach that distant better world, but to create one of our own.
We will fight for it, and we will die for it, but this time none of us will die alone! And when you cut one man down then pray that this world is not changed enough already for him to rise up again in a hail of bullets!
We have taken the dining room. All food and medical supplies are under our control.
Come, surrender your weapons and items and you will be treated fairly. Everyone who stands against us will be killed without mercy or hesitation.
[ooc: Riot was moved to the dining room when it was pointed out to prefect that the medical supplies had already been ransacked! Feel free to respond and reply here, but I'm putting up a log for the actual riot now, so no spamming!]

SAM'S DEAD but pretend he gave you one of his guns earlier.

Date: 2010-01-14 10:13 pm (UTC)Fucking hell.
Look... stand down and we'll talk. I'll fucking talk... This isn't necessary.
It's stupid and futile, too. If you do this, they'll... we'll have no choice. Give us a choice and we might listen.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 10:30 pm (UTC)You have a choice. You just don't like it.
neither howie knows the meaning of too little too late.
Date: 2010-01-14 10:32 pm (UTC)I...
I know the rest of them won't listen, but I also know I can't allow or support a riot. I... don't do this, we don't need more killing. From anyone. Don't give them a fucking excuse.
Re: neither howie knows the meaning of too little too late.
Date: 2010-01-14 10:36 pm (UTC)We've seen what you allow, and we've seen what you support, and this isn't a riot, it's a revolution!
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 10:40 pm (UTC)If you start killing people, we'll start killing people. It won't be violence, it will be murder. On all our parts. You might think very, very little of us, but I'm not prepared to go that low. I know others are.
But why are you prepared to go that low? Why kill someone like me, who might want some fucking control and want you to come to your fucking senses and stop with this nonsense, and will use violence to back it up, but I won't actually fucking kill anyone. Are you going to kill me? Are you?
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 10:51 pm (UTC)You moralize at me from your position of privilege, decrying murder while standing shoulder to shoulder with the people who killed Jason Dean, who killed Henry West, who've killed and tortured and damn near broken every man and woman in this hell!
You had all the power here, you could have taken a peaceful stand against them a long time ago without fearing torture or death for it, but you didn't. Instead you enabled and encouraged them, so whether or not you pulled the trigger you did kill them. You are just as responsible for their deaths as every warden here who just stood back and did nothing.
If you come to fight us, I will kill you without hesitation.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 10:53 pm (UTC)Not exactly setting a new moral high ground for your revolution.
I never encouraged or tolerated murder. It... you can't do this.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 10:59 pm (UTC)If you neither encouraged nor tolerated it then you are blind and stupid, because this place runs on rivers of inmates blood.
We are doing this. We must do this, and your inability to even face your own crimes is pathetic.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:10 pm (UTC)And I know a lot of you aren't, either. At least stick to that one, hm? I did. It's probably the only damn principle I've got, and it's the only one I need.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:36 pm (UTC)You know, the difference between us? Is that not being able to stop it suits you just fine, wheras for us? It means we live in hell.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:38 pm (UTC)This is no fucking better. It's worse, all this.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:46 pm (UTC)It's unsurprising that you still can't think of anyone else.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:48 pm (UTC)... I might have listened, but if you're going to be just as fucking intransigent. Well, fuck it.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-14 11:59 pm (UTC)We've written, we've complained, we've talked, and you brought your boot down on us harder for every word. This is not a negotiation anymore. If you want to change, then change, if you want to listen, then listen, but this fight will happen, because violence is the only leverage you have left us with.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-15 12:02 am (UTC)He WANTS to kill indiscriminately.
Date: 2010-01-15 12:05 am (UTC)All you have to do is stay in your room, or throw down your gun, and we won't touch you! We'll discriminate between you, and the people who are fighting us. You understand what that word means?
no subject
Date: 2010-01-15 12:09 am (UTC)How is that any better than what was done before? I won't encourage or tolerate killing, one way or another. For fuck's sake.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-15 12:33 am (UTC)...This is pointless. I've explained both of these points before and all you do is make random, self righteous claims about your moral standards, but none of your actions have ever backed them up!
If you come to this fight, then you fight for the system you have supported without question in your time here. You fight for the murders you have encouraged and tolerated, and you fight to the death. None of your lies can change that.

Date: 2010-01-15 12:41 am (UTC)The grey inbetween would have been you actually preventing our wardens from killing us instead of just claiming you did in retrospect.
We tried for a middle ground, and you killed it. This war will be fought over it's body.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-15 12:43 am (UTC)We're not all torturers and murderers. That's all I'm trying to say.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-15 12:48 am (UTC)You looked the other way then. So why don't you just do what you're good at and look the other way now, you coward.
No one tells him ANYTHING. Ever.
