Those who have said, be patient and wait, We have long said that we cannot be patient. We do not want our freedom gradually, but we want to be free. Now. We are tired. We're tired of being beaten by policemen. We're tired of seeing our people locked up in jail over and over again. And then you holler, be patient. How long can we be patient? We want our freedom and we want it now. We do not want to go to jail, but we will go to jail. If this is the price, we must pay for love, brotherhood and true peace.
