(9,137 posts)General Assemblies are citizen's disobedience against tyranny and declarations of independence (cf http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html) which don't recognize any higher political authority than GA. By their very nature they are revolutionary uprisings, they don't make demands to representatives of tyranny except to tell them to get the fuck out. You are confused by the mass media meme that revolutionary uprisings are or need to be violent. So far uprisings of general assemblies all over the world have been mostly peaceful and have been met by violence from police and other mechanisms of violence protecting the enemies of democracy and common decency, who are anything but peaceful, orderly and calm.
There are people on this forum and especially in this group - which is also a General Assembly - whose friends have been beaten and jailed by cops for participating in peaceful democratic uprisings called General Assemblies. Your threat of physical violence against them - us - by joining the police terror against people is fucking retarded.
