Victims suppress their rage over past violence and attempt to achieve peace through nonviolent means. For example, the mayor, who leads a homeless group, chastised a person who claimed to be able to steal something during the riot: "It's more than just getting things, fool" (Tobar 276). The mayor understood that their resistance must be done with justice and non-violence, because their goal was not to express their frustration or indignation but to advocate for injustice. People who recognize or see the nonviolent movement growing would be likely to sympathize with it because people would notice that victims no longer want to resort to violence, even if they have been brutally oppressed. Ideally, their sympathy would inspire more people to support the nonviolent movement, as victims fight against injustice through nonviolent means. Additionally, Hector Tobar described Longoria 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 through nonviolent resistance, they clearly reveal the culpability of their attackers and risk leaving a profound impact on their lives..
