Sit-ins are hardly "3rd grade antics". They are tried and true strategies of non-violent civil disobedience. It was interesting to see the diversity of the crowd supporting the lock-in. Several people I talked to commented on how this was the most diverse impromptu gathering they'd ever seen in town. What's the explanation for that?
It's too bad that people, male or female of any age were inconvenienced by the sit-in. But attempting to engage in discourse over the enduring "inconvenience" of ethnic stereotyping was not producing any concrete action on the issue.
I fail to see how this could "set the movement back", after all, as the NG pointed out, the last time this happened was when the GEO occupied the building. Do you remember the outcome of that situation? |
