16. If you protest politely, you get ignored. Disruption is necessary.

Especially with today's corporate bought-out media. You don't see the guys standing outside on the public sidewalk holding signs and waving cars getting the press do you? No, in order to get the press required to make your message of protest heard, you have to go into the rally, break all the rules, interrupt, and be as obnoxious as possible.

That's where we're at. To be successful at protesting, you must disrupt.

It is also necessary to be absolutely non-violent when protesting. Let the mouthbreathers on the other side throw the punches. Because violence backfires.
