(107 posts)Protests like these are intentional disruptions used to call attention to important causes. It's the peaceful tool used throughout time for those who have no voice. The Supreme Court, just this week has just eliminated the right to mass protest in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Obliviously targeting the left causes. These laws are only ment to increase control and reduce our freedoms.

(11,543 posts)While I agree with the cause in this case, I do not agree that I should head for the airport 8 hours before my flight because some group may be protesting there. That normal rule of 3 hour arrival goes out the window when such protests take place. It impacts many families & companies who have nothing to do with whatever the protest is about. The same thing can be said for the tactic of blocking freeways- the person in an ambulance stuck in that traffic has no option. Left or right doesn't matter.
