Enemies pt. 2

Dear friends of the cause.

Something terrible has happened. The struggle has escalated to violent heights. Last weekend I was the victim of a hate crime – a lynching if you will. Walking home after a night on the town with my ginger compadres, I was attacked by three men. They knocked me down and kicked me several times. They even took my phone, so that i could not warn the rest of the League. As I was knocked down from behind, I can only assume that the catalyst for the brutal attack was the color of my hair, as it was the only distinct feature visible to the assailants.

There is no doubt in my mind. There are people out there, who do not want to see The League of Ordinary Gingermen reach our goal: Ginger equality. And they are willing to use violence to stop us. But we will not be stopped! Though I must implore you, dear friends, do not sink to their level. We are not a violent people, and this is not the time for physical retribution. Gingers are already frowned upon, and further violence would only serve to hurt our cause. We must pick our battles. We will fight them, where we have the upper hand. In forums of eloquence and arenas of wit. And we will prevail! But until then, my dear allies, watch your fellow ginger, for the streets are no longer safe for us.
