In reply to the discussion: Pro-Palestine protestors storm Democratic holiday party. One woman punched in face [View all]ms liberty
(11,219 posts)3. I think we've reached the point
Where many of us older folks know how bad this kind of behavior is for their cause, and younger people don't, because we remember how well this behavior went over in the 60's. I was a kid and I remember it well. Adults and the PTB don't respond well to this kind of protest. In the 60's, this is the kind of protesting that led to us getting a crook named Nixon, who ran as a "law and order" candidate, because someone needed to clamp down on all those lawless, disrespectful young hooligans with their rock music and maryjuwana.
It's also really stupid and doesn't do anything to help your cause.

I remember the "mostly peaceful" protests with burning buildings in the background.
