Copycats

I just read that some Nigerian militants are holding people hostage to protest distribution of oil wealth.  This immediately led my thoughts to Martin Luther King and Ghandi.  Two people who fought for similar things in the past. Ghandi influenced King and King influenced many others. I think how their methods  of non violence became popular and the standard of garnering attention and change. Now with all these fucking terrorists running around every time someone wants to fight for injustice (perceived or actual) they immediately adopt the tactics of terror and violence.
