    This is so very important. Protesting is a right.

    I don't mind protests but blocking traffic causing congestion blocking emergency vehicles etc is not okay, same with destroying art or interrupting events that just makes the public hate their cause. They should try and change these things they're not happy with instead of having tantrums like children.

      A protest is supposed to be disruptive because nothing else worked. I agree about destroying art and blocking traffic, but a protest is supposed to disrupt something.

      @@user-le6xf7vu7t obviously not but a protest has to be disruptive. Which means its okey to stop traffic. and spray goverment buildings with slogans. Just because you sprayed a goverment, doesnt make the building unsafe. And when you stop traffic its obviously a nuisance. But thats the point. Otherwise ppl dont presure politicians to change laws. How do you think women got equal rights, by not doing houswork. And the husbnands got fed up and pressured politicians.

      ​@@misanthropicsophiststopping traffic leads to emergency teams not arriving to the house where someone had a stroke or myocardial infarction,, or a firefighting team not getting to a burning house, which makes protesters who willfully stop traffic likely criminals. Plus if I am inconvenience d by idiots who think I will support their cause by making me late to work and thus reprimanded by my bosses, I will actively vote AGAINST politicians aligned with their politics. You make the DUMBEST assumptions.

    It’s fine to protest. Just don’t break any laws (like blocking streets, etc.) while you’re doing it.

      I think its okey to block traffic, you have to be a nuisance for the ppl to care. And when ppl get angry about it, politicians feel the presure.

    The issue in todays age is peaceful protest vs riots are a fine line. In the USA you have to file a petition to have a large protest in order to notify authorities. Almost every Antifa and BLM protests were unsolicited and essentially were illegal protests which turned into riots or acts of violence.
    There are defined boundaries in which a protest can occur and those are defined in the jurisdiction in which they are enacted.
    The main issue is what you said in that, legal rights of sovereign individuals are increasingly encroached upon by a government that continues to overstep its boundaries into an authoritarian and borderline tyrannical nature. The government creating unreasonable boundaries to the point where a peaceful lawful protest becomes so difficult that the alternative happens is unfortunately a burden that lies upon the governments over reach of control, this is not the fault of the people but an overstep of the authority of the government. Protest is an inalienable right.

      Many of the blms had permits to protest. Antifa is not a highly organized group and usually keeps a low profile.
      Despite Trump claimed antifa did Jan 6 .
      Charges were dropped against the arson claims for a 2017 protest. After Trump blamed them. They were acquitted.
      White terrorist groups are the highly watched groups and are deemed to be the 1 threat. Antifa doesn't make the list neither does BLM.

    I’d like to see the statistics on how effective these disruptive types of protests are as opposed to having huge gatherings in parks near political gatherings. Activities that raise awareness and for want of a better term build positive vibes vs protests that hold people hostage by blocking roads and thoroughfares and getting in people’s faces, being a nuisance and generating bad vibes.
    I’m sure that by blocking roads and stopping people working or travelling hasn’t gained a single supporter for their causes.

    So... protesting is basically whining to the authority that gave you rights (the government) to continue to allow you to keep said rights. Nanny State 101.
