Protesting rarely works, in fact, I don't know a protest that has actually been effective in change since the civil rights movement some 50+ years
ago. Look at what happened with Occupy Wall Street, thousands of people all over protesting, camping out in NYC making huge waves. And guess what
happened...NOT A DAMN THING. The people in power know that people will give up at a certain point and go back to their lives trying to get
by.
If their goal was to create traffic here in nyc, then cheers to you protesters, you've done a great job.
It would be nice if they focused more of their energy on improving their neighborhoods, quality of life, education, etc - instead of helping to
make excuses for two individuals that simply could've handled their situations better.
