      Having more protests like the one from a couple weeks ago, where it was packed everywhere while having young and old, says a ton more than causing damage. The more drama, the more reason to send you to Guantanamo. Keep it peaceful and keep it huge is my very strong opinion.

        I agree with you if press coverage is there. They’re not covering the protests because they’re not interesting, though.

        That said, I’d call this lazy journalism. How about going out there to interview people? Start telling the stories of the people they talk with?

      Everyone wants more change. Everyone wants the fascists to fail miserably because, well, they’re fascists.

      The goal is to slowly steer the Exxon Valdez so it avoids the coastline and doesn’t capsize. In this metaphor, violence (even the stuff we allow them to start) will capsize the Valdez.

      Demonstrations aren’t always about drama: they’re about the show of potential resistance as well.
