Can they hear themselves?<br />Yes, dwelling on any difference of opinion, right/wrong polarises and magnifies it.<br /> <br />What are they going to do with the rioters they’ve caught? Stuff them into prisons that are already too full, and which have a dreadful track record of “curing” criminals. Is it 80+% who reoffend?<br /> <br />Now there is restorative justice (RJ). I see that as a step in the “right” direction. Maybe what you are doing exceeds what RJ can achieve. I think it would, yet the authorities may not know about you and your skills. Is there some way in which you could bring your skills to their attention? Maybe if just one magistrate’s court took you on, and you resolved the issues between rioter and the rest (as I think you would) the whole movement could expand in the direction you are preaching.....<br /> <br />Wow!Dadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516826968322440651.post-23129231404008591622011-08-15T00:00:41.820+01:002011-08-15T00:00:41.820+01:00I enjoyed this posting, thanks Locana!I enjoyed this posting, thanks Locana!Amitasurinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516826968322440651.post-35145247170647885832011-08-13T12:31:11.744+01:002011-08-13T12:31:11.744+01:00Thanks ... and please do, Sue!Thanks ... and please do, Sue!Elizabeth English (Locana) – From Life at Workhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514632336450423931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516826968322440651.post-51821676499571499222011-08-11T10:30:46.232+01:002011-08-11T10:30:46.232+01:00This is great stuff, Locana.

I have been musing on the riots and inclined to come to the conclusion that the situation is beyond the range of NVC, being characterised more by essential darknesses in human nature (many of which I recognise in myself). Your post reminds me of the "other way" - I'm going to try reframing in the way you suggest. Will let you know how I get on!
