Well its in the news so it worked. Protest is literally one of the only thing that's ever actually effected change in this country so stick with it. The more people it pisses off, the better. If a protest leaves people feeling safe and comfortable, it wasn't a protest, it was a parade.

"Americans will tolerate anything [(even genocide)], provided it doesn't block traffic."

No need to single out Americans. Most of the developed world, including a lot of the "nobler than thou" European peoples that some Americans love to worship, are equally complicit.

This leaves me thinking that maybe we should be protesting our own prison industrial complex this way.
