I get that we have a right to do so.

But most are just disruptive, and destructive, and therefore nobody is listening anyway.

If someone is standing in the middle of the freeway protesting, I just want to run them over with my car. I could careless what they have to say. I have to be somewhere and you are not going to stop me.

Got nothing better to do? No job? So you can just set up a tent and live there forever? My image of you is just a bum.

You very rarely see a peaceful protest anymore.

You want your voice heard then go vote.
