Jump To Comment: 1 2Why not make it clear what the protest is about on this site? Maybe then people could bring banners. How can you expect anyone to show up with that attitude other than "rent a mob." That said I probably agree with this demonstration, I just took umbrage with how this was phrased. That's my two cents, take it easy!
wha? it seems obvious what the demonstration is about
