You and me both. I mean there's like a history -- nm - JD Aug 22, 08:23
And I could be totally wrong here, but I'm not sure wrecking the buffet of the delegates' hotel is the best way to get your message out there. nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 06:48 22
- what would have been good protest? standing around with a sign? - colin Aug 22, 07:36 20
  - Simply by asking this question, you've lost the plot. -- nm - David Aug 22, 08:08 4
    - there is no plot - that's the beauty and messiness of a protest movement like this. everyone organizes and protests as they feel convicted to. - colin Aug 22, 08:21 3
      - You're heading down the wrong path with this line of thinking. This is how terrorists talk. -- nm - David Aug 22, 08:29 2
        
        It is not. Damaging property isn't violence. No one is calling for assassination. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 08:34 1
        
        I pretty strongly disagree with that. It’s intimidation. I’d argue it’s extortion (if you don’t give us what we want we’re going to harm you). And - pmb Aug 22, 09:12
  - I think the question is: how do they expect this to be effective? How does it help their cause? -- nm - ty97 Aug 22, 08:05 1
    - direct action generally stops being a means to create awareness and is targeted at the people who are refusing to engage in discussion or change. - colin Aug 22, 08:10
  - When your protest potentially endangers the lives of the uninvolved, it crosses a line. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 22, 07:50 1
    - it wasn't done in secret. nobody ate a bug. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 08:04
  - "You don't understand, everything I do is OK because I have the moral high ground." -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 07:50
  - Which begs the question "how is this specific protest going to work?" - Roger More Aug 22, 07:48 4
    - Not that I support this but a demonstration aspect could be had. "We're not going away, y'know. You don't get to move on to the next shiny bauble." -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 07:54 3
      - I'd see the maggot buffet as an escalation of that type of demonstration. - Roger More Aug 22, 08:02 2
        
        Agree with all of this of course -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 08:09
        
        correct - harming property is an effective protest. do i think this was a particularly effective one? probably not, but it is an escalation and - colin Aug 22, 08:08
  - Eh, I can see it as a terrorist action. Making people afraid of their own food. -- nm* - con_carne Aug 22, 07:45
  - Well, not seriously injured: "One victim was treated and released on-scene." This isn't okay, don't normalize this behaviour in politics. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 07:38
  - I guess I'd like to know what their end game is here? Let's throw maggots in the food of a bunch of people who have no say in any kind of American - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 07:38
  - so I could break into a homeless shelter and shit in their food if I don't agree with what they are doing as a protest? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 22, 07:38 1
    - If your signs don't work - I guess so. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 07:38
- A-ball level ratfucking -- nm - rollo Aug 22, 07:31
