    Something tells me the folks responsible for the ethnic cleansing in Gaza aren’t based on those bridges, and they don’t care what a few hundred people in NY do.

    Source: been to lots of protests, some lasted weeks and were violent. Result of, I think, all of them was nothing that was wanted changed. WTO, Afghanistan, Iraq (for 10 years, every Friday at 5…), occupy, Trump, police brutality 2020. The worst thing you can do is alienate those who might otherwise support you but are just trying to get their kids or get food on the table or whatever. Don’t drag riot cops through random neighborhoods at night while they teargas families in their homes because they are trying to kettle obnoxious kids lighting outdoor furniture on fire or tagging random people’s homes. All those things are counterproductive and don’t help anybody’s cause except conservatives when it comes to election time.
