To protest on the street in my city you have to obtain a "traffic obstruction" permit, otherwise they will fine you, and even arrest you. That includes some of the city/county buildings and park spaces. This helps protect bus stops, subways egress, etc.. To protest on any other public space you can do so without permit. The permit however is like $25 and the police will come and close the streets on your protest route.

You think the goal of the protests was to convert people?

Awareness has been raised and various supremacists and authoritarians have let the masks drop. Pretty effective as a starting point. Spades can be called spades and we can see where we stand as a nation

Very interesting how the alphabet channels have portrayed the protests. I can speak for myself, but I found it very difficult to maneuver media to get a clear vantage point (initially). It sounds nerdy AF but it can be overwhelming.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

tv sucks. Pretty much have to watch the live streams and be plugged into left-twitter, right-twitter, etc. if you want to know anything about what is going on. The newspapers are only marginally better than tv but they are better.

I don't actually disagree with this conceptually. I think we just have different ideas of who the villains are, but I'll bet if we were to make a comprehensive list, we'd agree on more names than we'd disagree.
