Have any of these kids ever thought about the following:

1. Getting a job
2. Explain how they support themselves in order to travel and play their fun games.
3. Boycott the company that is supplying the products, or are they afraid to try this stunt in NY?

Such utter nonsense

1. I know many of the people involved in this incident, including alex.
2. every one of these people are hard workers with full-time jobs, and many of them also attend school.
3. there were there because they care about fellow workers, especially immigrants being mistreated or paid below minimum wage.
4. these are not fun games. those people were there because they cared and were rallying for a better tomorrow.

Vladimir you cliche sputtering dolt, get your head out of talk radio land long enough to pick your own lines.

1) They all, as far as I know have jobs, or are full time students. I know Alex has a job. (why is the autovomit response always: get a job anyway, that needs a whole essay in itself)

2) Travel? From Providence to North Providence? Uh, carpool, bus, bike...??

3) These "stunts" are happening in NYC...AND this tactic of protesting those who do business with wrongdoers is age old, and works.

go back to your small world...

Vlad,

Who says they don't work? Whatever they do for work, it's not relevant to this story.

They boycotted a place right here in their community (acting locally) because who they support in NY, I personally am not involved in the cause, but I don't understand why there are so many Archie Bunkers like yourself here in RI.

Those protesters were exercising their constitutional rights, this young girl was no physical threat to the police or public, yet she remains in ICU because of the brutality of ignorant cops. It's going to take a long (painful) time for her to recover. Completely unwarranted abuse and you are concerned about how these protesters earn a living?

Such utter nonsense indeed

All of the people that were at the rally (that I personally know) have jobs. This is how they support themselves. They haven't travelled very far- the idea is to enact and push for change in your own community, as well as on a broader national or even international scale.

Boycotting only does so much- direct action is needed, not always in such a direct way as a protest, but in more subtle, community building ways as well. I think if people knew about the various community programs some of these people were involved in, there would be more appreciation for what they were trying to achieve at that protest.

But Vladimir, your line of thinking completely ignores the police brutality that took place. In the face of the violence enacted by the police, it doesn't matter what tht protest was about. Citizens have a right to peacably assemble, and that means you can't be arrested or assaulted for doing it. The three cops in this case went too far, and there should be some serious consequences for them and the system that put them in the position to abuse their power.
