Actually, the report looks like simply someone's words who has

inflammatory wordings around here. No siree!
Every protest I have done has been a pacifist protest with the
protesters trained in resisting violence without being violent
if it occurred.
I have seen cops attack. I have never seen people attack others
from pot, mushrooms or other hallucinogens. They are all
worthless as "battle drugs" as any child of the sixties knows
full well. Now heroin is a horse of a different color.

Uh, uh. I don't think much pot is employed by Zulus and
definitely not acid. They may have some kind of hallucinogen
that is good for warfare but the one's commonly used in the west
don't measure up at all.
