    Disruptive protest, no matter how annoying, is valid and should be protected under law. When the government moves to ban protest and dissent, they’ve crossed the line into authoritarianism.

    The right to protest is a fundamental of democracy, and we should not accept any erosion of the fundamentals of democracy.

      *Peaceful protest yes. Protest that doesn’t violate the rights of the people who live and work in the area.

        They stated disruptive. If no one elses rights are violated it is not disruptive. At minimum disruptive to me would have to include intentionally blocking roadways and holding up everyone else. (Which does violate the rights of people who live and work in the area). So your stance sounds as if to be opposite of the person you commented on.

          Nah, I don’t want to kill anyone, I don’t even own a car. I just made fun of something I thought was ridiculous with something even more ridiculous.

          I personally never even saw such a protest, but I think it’s very ridiculous to “protect by law” blocking people, that maybe even agree with you, from reaching the cemetery, weddings, or other important events on time.

          Edit: btw why is everyone attaching images that take up half my phone’s screen and make their comments hard to read? Is this some new trend?

          • If protests arent disruptive they’re effectively politcally-charged social gatherings.

            And no, you dont get to just “Move people out of the way” so you can get to your event, job, or whatever. Protestors do get run over - its not funny or ridiculous, it’s fucking pathetic.
