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.

    Dows it work tho, im a simple man, anything inconveninces me directly and im against them, have had multiple hotels in the last two years where they protested with bullhorns and sirens loudly from 2am to 8am every night, they ruined my sleep and expect me to support them? Im not able to get a refund or swap hotels, in the future im still not planning ahead and getting the first available decent hotel near the location close to the time of the event. It happened multiple times at different locations/cities, not recording them or helping their cause when they actively ruined the 3 vacations I have a year by not letting me sleep.

        Nah poor them, they didn’t get their jobs back? Their conditions didn’t improve, their business wasn’t effected, life moved on and if I ever have a ballot infront of me with a measure to prevent protests at certain times in redidential areas where ppl sleep, im not going to vote the anarchist way now that I’ve had it effect me negatively. They looked out for themsleves and actively fucked me over, so why should I be a saint and do the opposite for them.

        No. Protests should be done in a way to gain voter support. Not destroy it.

          voter support for what? most protests happen because there is nobody in the system that speaks for the people in the protest.
