The way I perceive this if it to make a difference, is the protesters have to stay within the law at all times, as that way no one can say they are law breakers and take action against law breakers as I am sure there are many just pining to do. Maybe it is just a fallacy, maybe there is some truth in it, but when we see protests over here, we have the fabled 'rent-a-mob' always turn up to act against the law, often in a violent manner thus discrediting any protest by marring it with violence which you will notice always seems to be reported, when the peaceful is not. I am just waiting for it, with our parched desert of reporting on what is happening in the US, when something very violent happens, ( they will fight you- Ghandi ), all the worlds blind media will suddenly open their eyes and we will all know about it from a negative perspective, discreditation in action. It's all a game of education, violence destroys any useful education, violence is connected with peaceful protest, the message is lost, so anyone who protests must act peacefully and within the law and where the traditional peace keeping is suspect, police themselves, stick together and use the modern media, camera phones at the ready. As to face it, Youtube ''Broadcast yourself'' Who needs traditional media.
