Victims repress their anger at past violence and seek to bring about peace through nonviolent means. For example, the mayor, who is the leader of a homeless group, admonished a person who claimed to steal something during the riot by saying that “this is more than just getting things, stupid” (Tobar 276). The mayor understood that their resistance had to be conducted with justice and nonviolence because their aim was not to express their frustration or indignation but to argue that there was an injustice. People who recognize or see the nonviolent movement arise would probably sympathize with it because they would notice that the victims no longer want to suffer violence, even if they have been brutally oppressed. Ideally, their sympathy would push more people to support the nonviolent movement because victims fight against injustice through nonviolent means. Furthermore, Hector Tobar described Longoria as knowing that “the enemy deals in ideology. Ideology is one of its most effective weapons, perhaps the most effective” (Tobar 220). This shows that repressive governments are more afraid of ideological resistance from their citizens than of violent rebellion. Furthermore, when people sacrifice their right to life with nonviolent resistance, they clearly reveal the guilt of their attackers and likely leave a profound impact on life.
