I agree with you on principle, but in reality it seems like it just gives the media more ammo to villainize the cause even more. Or worse, block ambulances from getting to where they need to be. I highly doubt the family of a person who died because they couldn't get to the hospital, or got fired from their job is ever going to look positively on that cause. Shutdown a courthouse or government building or something instead, I guess is my point. |

That's reasonable, but you also know that you can always come up with a justification for why this protest in particular was unacceptable.
Shutdown a courthouse? You're ruining people's weddings, you're preventing trials right before the statute of limitations expires, you're keeping people in jail for longer than they had to otherwise and then what if they commit suicide because jail is so bad?
People (justifiably) really hate being inconvenienced, but that's also kind of the point of this kind of protest.
