“We’ll put you under the jail,” Crowe says. “All those charges can be reinstated. And we’ll just bust you over and over and over again.” Ben says nothing. His version of passive resistance. He calls it “Verbal Gandhism.” (“The other guy can’t play tennis,” Ben explained to Chon one time, “if you don’t hit the ball back.” “He can’t play tennis,” Chon answered, “if you shoot him in the head, either.”) Duane stares at Ben for a second, then gets up and walks out. Verbal Gandhism works.
