I would find this very disquieting, if I were a head of state.

The context:
Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner has been indicted, accused in cover-up of 1994 attack on Jewish center.
The Argentine prosecutor who brought these charges was found dead in his apt, and the journalist who broke news of Argentine prosecutor's death has fled Argentina fearing for his life, he says.

The disquieting march:
Thousands march in Buenos Aires in honor of dead Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman - in silence.
Thousands just murmuring.
If someone starts yelling, someone else yells, 'Silence!' -

(Can you just imagine, thousands of people gathering and just staring at the White House, saying nothing.)

Come to think of it, it would be all -but-impossible for psy-ops 'black shirt' interlopers to stir
up shit, to make the protest look "violent".

Brilliant organizing tactic.

Most everyone has that button ready to be pushed.
