1. That is powerful. k&r...n/t

[votesparks]

2. This should be adopted everywhere!

k&r!

[glowing]

3. I agree, the guy cannot even look his own self in that mirror.

[sarge43]

4. Well, babushka does not approve

That makes anyone feel ashamed.

[Helen Borg]

5. I think you are right...

The guy looks kinda embarrassed! Perhaps he has a conscience?

[Veilex]

17. I wish I could agree... would help me feel hope for humanity...

As someone who's done a job similar to his, I can see he's looking at the lady and her nearby associates.

I hope someday we can get passed the us vs. them mentality and realize we're not a conglomeration of different peoples, but one people constituting only one race: The human race.

[glowing]

18. I believe that's why the ladies are holding mirrors... Self reflect, see your reflection, see you

are us... Perhaps, I'm giving the human soul and condition too much positive hope... But that's the most effective visual I've seen.. It would be interesting to see how effective it was upon the riot police?

6. Oh, hoo-fucking-rah!

That is just an excellent protest poster!

7. Wise baba. nt

[pam4water]

8. I like it! n/t

9. Just to be practical--is that breakable?

If so, some non-breakable alternative would be a boon to demonstrators everywhere

[Thor_MN]

10. Very effective.

How many mirrors did they use? The person behind her appears to be holding up a mirror as well.

Who could face down multiple reflections of themselves while acting like a thug?

[arcane1]

13. Yep, you can see the reflection of the back of her head

And the cop can see multiple reflections of himself.

Very powerful.

11. Mirror-bearing protesters will almost certainly be arrested

The charge will be that they're using the mirrors to blind the cops with reflected sunlight.


I agree that it sends a fantastic message, so the PTB obviously won't permit it.

12. Doubles as an anti-laser shield.

[ellennelle]

14. look closely

there appears to be a total mirror image here.

the scarf and coat are the same fabrics on the woman whose face we see, and the one who is 'behind' her, likely in a building's mirror reflection.

another point to consider is that cell phone videos are actually mirrors of their behaviors, if not in real life size or time.

15. Those mirrors are a good idea.

But as others have noticed, they can be used for protection, so therefore must be classified as a deadly weapon, because they can reflect the sun and also laser light.
How dare anyone hold up a mirror to our fine and responsible government!

[glowing]

19. It's not our govt, or I would probably agree. They would show up for 5 secs and then be banned.

[RC]

20. Militarized police are not our government?

I would not agree.

[glowing]

21. The picture is not in this country...

[RC]

22. I looks like Russia.

But so what? We have had the same situation in this country numerous times.
And still those mirrors are a good idea, no matter who thought it up, or where they live.

[glowing]

23. I love the idea... I just agreed with other poster that the US would find a quick remedy to banning

the mirrors as some sort of weapon or eye blinding device (which on a sunny day, really could do just that).

16. Wow. Recommended. (nt)

[DeSwiss]

24. Fantastic!!!

25. A tactic taken from the classic Haight-Ashbury tour response, 1966.

After a tour agency started offering bus tours of the 'hippie experience', hippies began running alongside the buses holding up mirrors.

[Egalitarian Thug]

26. How nice that somebody remembers. Thank you. n/t

[suzanner]

27. Mylar on smooth cardboard would work.

Art supply stores have high grade mylar with adhesive backing. Not as good as a mirror, but close enough for the size here. I've used it way back when. I assume it's the same material today.
