Are you actually serious? Not to insult you or anything, but how is a protest supposed to be effective if its not noticed?

France does major demonstrations all the time, blocking access to streets and buildings... in USA, the police would shoot them and treat them as criminals. Just trying to make the point that people SHOULD create trouble when they are not happy.

France is way more free than America so thats why I brought it up.

If you have to block the street for me to notice your course, you suck at communication or your course must be completely retarded.

Either way it is a good filter for me to not give a shit and/or support the other party.

Sometimes demonstrations inconvenience others. Such is the price of free speech.
When your government is taping mouths, blocking the street kind of seems like fair play.

It's shitty communication all around, but how else are people supposed to react?

Do you actually live in the USA? I do, and it's not that bad. It takes quite a bit to get shot by police if you're not armed. I can't remember when they used actual bullets on a crowd.
