  Okay. You certainly have more of a right to be incensed over a grandparent being kept from his babysitting compared to hypotheticals where mothers, babies, and critical-care patients are dying. I have not and I will not complain about people complaining about real inconveniences when they happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time through no fault of their own. And all of this doesn’t change the fact that protests should not be discouraged or be made unlawful (although apparently according to that state trooper it already is) considering that protesters have quite important things that they are protesting themselves, according to their own thinking. From that link (one of the “poor Uber driver” girls): > "Yes it's an inconvenience," Brienne added. "But it's also inconvenient to be inconvenient to a human being in Gaza right now."

    I have no issue with protests, full stop. I have an issue with collateral damage in the name of a cause. I meant what I said, it is arrogant to decide "my protest is more important than ANYTHING you could be doing right now, because I said so" It's just fucked up. Protest your face off, don't stop everyone else from getting on with their day.
