The price of human life?

If you want to protest peacefully, don’t pour blood in a military recruiting station, but rather kill its commanding officer by stuffing him headfirst into a sleeping bag and sitting on his chest. That would allow you to stay home for six month, and keep going to work, church and cost you $6000 for 60 days. Ignoring this recommendation and going ahead with splattering your own blood on the walls of the recruiting station could instead cost you six months in prison.

You could argue, of course, that the military officer "was just following orders", but then, shouldn't those responsible for giving those orders be held accountable?
