I think some protest tactics like blocking walkways hurt more than help progressive causes.

[romanic]

85. The people defending this shitfest

can't comprehend the fact that such obnoxious protests like these draw ire from moderates and potential allies to the cause. Read all of the NEGATIVE responses from the public and the students. Most didn't even know what the cause was, how in good golly fuck is this getting the message out to people!?

And if ya didn't notice, several minority students were accosted by the protesters trying to get to classes THEY FUCKING PAID FOR!? You think those students will want to join those morons? Hell no.

Nobody on here is saying protesting against police brutality is a bad thing. It should be encouraged to march the streets in an organized matter where the message is Clear and the media HAS to listen. These so-called inconvenience tactics don't fucking work in this day and age. Blocking highways didn't win allies, yelling at brunch didn't work, screaming at college reagents was a fail, etc. To say"well you must not care about black lives" when criticizing these types of protests is straight bullshit and such a shitty response to blowback. Its so easy to put words in other people's mouths instead of reflecting on your position and see that "yeah, maybe he/she has a point".

A powerful protest is one of organization, numbers, and civility. This small potatoes protest was just a fucking joke and a laughing stock for the right to justify thier biased and the general public to ignore the message and get mad at the "crazy millennial brats".

Im sorry for long post but FUCK, some people on here need to get real and stop being so delusional when it comes to the real world.
