Reply #15: when they did that...

[pipi_k]

they didn't infringe on the rights of dozens...perhaps hundreds...of people. Least of all, the very people they were trying to fight FOR.

I'm going to point out the difference in attitude between some here and some of the actual protesters I've heard speak on TV.

Yesterday someone from CNN was speaking with a protester about the plan to occupy subways. The question was, what did this young woman think about how blocking subways would impact rush hour commuters.

Instead of giving an in-your-face reply, this young woman very humbly stated that it wasn't their intent to block the subways...just to be there, and talk with people, etc. I liked her. I liked her explanation.

There was also a young man who gave a very rational and humble explanation of the goals...what they wanted to achieve...how they want to bring parity, equality, fairness to everyone, etc., etc.

Again. None of this snarky in-your-face shit. I liked him, also, and the way he explained things made me very empathetic.


THAT is the difference.

Humility and dignity.

Not in-your-face arrogance.
