If you aren't allowed to speak freely by the government, and any other redresses are then ignored/denied by an oppressive government, what is the last solution? Taxed without representation? Jailed with no charges, without representation, for years and years?

Right now, we still have the ability to peacefully protest. Peacefully. If others think violent protest is now called for, well, I think they are a little ahead of the program. Using violence now, with other, peaceful options still available, makes the violent protests look bad, and won't bring the admiration of the public.
