Everybody handles things differently.

Any protester knows that the only way activism works is to get the people on your side.

The rule is, you can protest all you want. Make all the noise you want. Carry all the signs you want. The minute you throw a rock, you get arrested. The minute you break a window, you get arrested. The minute you break into a store, you get arrested.

Protest actions and propaganda are two slightly different things.

Everyone has different ways of defending themselves.

I was involved in some peaceful protests.

Protesting is fundamentally submissive.

Every journalist loves a peaceful protest -whether it makes news, shakes up a political season, or holds out the possibility of altering history.

The power of protest depends not only on how many turn out, but also on what legislative, judicial, and civil society institutions exist to enact the will of those marching in the streets.
