Why are protesters such a waste of life?

Question

They cause violence and waste everyones time. Am i the only one who Feels this way?

Answer 1

No you are not alone...you should gather together with all those who feel the same and start a march!

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

So by your logic the protesters in Tianamen Square were just jackasses, eh?

Get a clue, dude...and read a newspaper.

Answer 4

You're right.

Rioters are much better.

Answer 5

No mindless sheep are a waste of life.  They're nothing more than willing slaves.

Answer 6

Hey TOOL...its me...the old hag.   Protesters are a pain in the *** because they usually don't know all the facts of what they are protesting.  Some of them can be extremely hurtful to the party they are protesting.  They are a BIG waste of time for the police and our tax dollars that have to be used to keep them in line.  They are disrespectful and out of their minds.   Not to long ago near my home a bunch of freaks protested a funeral for a young man that was killed in Iraq.  They had picket signs and everything calling the deceased  names!   And how about the protesters in front of the Anthony's home.   Most protesters (in my opinion) are not very intelligent and they just need another idiot to follow.

Answer 7

Those people in Minn are cowards

They attacked windows, trash cans and Michelle Malkin

They only attack things that can not fight back

I would love to have 5 minutes alone with a few of those punks and beat some sense into their tiny little brains

" we have the right to assemble"

That right ends the second you start breaking laws and endangering the public

Answer 8

what have you done for your country?

Answer 9

Move to china. You'd like it there.

Answer 10

We have the right to assemble. That's something a back stabbing anti-American republican wouldn't understand.

Answer 11

So the civil rights movement was unneccessary?  And the women's suffrage movement?  

Not all protest is a waste of time, and not all protest causes violence.  In the two instances I mentioned, it was the counterdemonstrators who resorted to violence.

You paint with too broad a brush.

Answer 12

They all have small p***s' or they have p***s envy

Answer 13

The protesters at the RNC are professional trouble makers. We do have the right to assemble peacefully but these people go around the country with the intention of starting trouble. I saw an interview with several of the protesters and they showed them pictures of high ranking Republican Leaders and none of them could name them. That right there proves they were there just to start trouble for the sake of trouble.

Answer 14

I feel the same way you do.  I say "SHOOT TO KILL"!!

Answer 15

You shouldn't take it so personally.

Answer 16

Did someone up there say "we have the right to assemble"?

Yes you have the right to assemble...... peacefully. Breaking windows and lotting is not assembling.

The protesters at the convention are wastes of sperm.

Answer 17

Immaturity is a disease.

It makes far too many people unable to understand the consequences or seriousness of their little tirades.

Answer 18

The real waste of life is not feeding hungry children (while others are obese!!) in our own country, or sending loyal soldiers off to die in a war justified by forged intelligence.  

Protesting is protected under the 1st amendment, agreed, it can lead to violence, but it can also bring change.  

Were not the "Indians" who held the Boston Tea Party protesting?   Were not those who resisted slavery protesting?   Were Dr. King's efforts a waste?

Democracy can be messy, but we have proven that we have the grit, stomach and brains to let it happen.   Let it happen.  

Answer 19

Protesters a waste of life? What planet have you been living on? If there hadn't been a Boston Tea Party, you wouldn't even BE an American. The Stamp Act Revolt? The Sedition Act? The Revolutionary War?

C'mon! Read your American history before you waste everybody's time with your uninformed remarks.

Answer 20

Some, yes.

You have a right to congregate, protest, and petition the government for a redress of grievances. But those protests need to be peaceful and relatively non-obtrusive. Gathering in open areas or even sit-ins in "non-critical" areas are fine.

However, I do not think it is socially acceptable or beneficial to do things like make human chains across roadways (that happened where I live a few years ago and an ambulance came up and got stuck in it. So, I think roads are "critical" and you don't have the right to block them).

But people have to realize that you catch more flies with honey and the most productive protests have NEVER been the molotov cocktail tossing ones with face masks and property damage, but the peaceful walk to the sea of Ghandi, the walking of the Selma bridge, the sit ins of the 60's and 70's.

Anger expressed as violence does not win support. Anger expressed as well-written essays, peaceful protest, and constructive, fact-based counter arguments does.

Answer 21

No, overseas we protest or strike all of the time, rather than hiding our heads in the sand or sit around complaining on why thing's aren't being done or refusing bills from our governments.

I disagree to violent protests as they never get the issue's heard only bad press and opinions. If this protest these people organized was as being nothing more than destruction riot rather than what a public protest on the issues they want the government to acknowledge. I agree with you.
