In my neck of the woods, they shut down the major subway route (BART) from the East Bay to San Francisco. Outside of commute hours, but still — and in respect of all of those “shut it down” protests — they’re doing the cause harm not good. Since when was it a good idea to advance your cause by hampering people and antagonizing them in the name of “education?”

(And if you tell me “Michael Brown is more than hampered,” I’ll throw up on you. Stopping someone from getting to that job interview or even the shopping trip is not going to bring him back to life, and it won’t save the next person. )
