what chicago learned from '68

4. I think you are speaking too soon. Police orchestrated protests arent real protests.

They are feel good marches with middle class mom's wearing their LLBean and drinking Starbuck's while they follow the police around, then drive home to their middle class suburban homes in their Subaru's.

Nothing comes of these marches. Unless there is violence, they get no mention in the corporate media.

I have been in my share of these "protests" where there is a police-person for every protestor leading us around a prescribed path thru the poor section of the city so it wont upset sales at Neiman Marcus.

Protests are aimed at change and will escalate until there is change.

I neither condone nor prescribe violence and I believe things would get worse if there is violence, but how else are you going to get the attention of our greedy Congressional representatives?
