We will defend ourselves, and we have full rights to do so. If the authorities try to destroy us, we have the right to rise up. Sooner or later this will happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we destroy human rights and rule of law in the response to terrorism, they have won.
Our first responsibility in the midst of violence is to prevent it from destroying us.
If we must die, we die defending our rights.
As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.
The United States will do whatever we have to do to protect our forces.
We will bring justice to the savage terrorists known as Boko Haram. They will be defeated.
We will continue to hit those who threaten us.
Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.
We have to protect the rights of the American people.
The police protect us, and we're going to protect the police.
