This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It’s not legal, but protests are never useful if they’re fully legal now, are they.

    I’m with you. I get this is a protest, but I don’t protest gun violence against kids by parading them down a firing range. Taking up the whole road can result in you getting hurt, it doesn’t matter what should be our what your ideals are. It’s a road for cars and behaving like this increases the chance that someone gets hurt.

    On top of that this does what every protest that interrupts traffic does, makes people dislike you and your cause.

          Lightor, 1960:

          I’m with you. I get this is a protest, but I don’t protest gun violence against kids by parading them down a firing range. Taking up the space in a whites-only lunch counter can result in you getting hurt, it doesn’t matter what should be our what your ideals are. It’s a restaurant for white people and behaving like this increases the chance that someone gets hurt.

          On top of that this does what every protest that interrupts business, makes people dislike you and your cause.

                A poor one that makes a ton of assumptions about my character and what I would do during Nazi Germany all because I said that this isn’t an effective way to gain supporters… Really?
