Haha you make it sound as if I was deeply involved with them like a religious zealot of sorts.

I was just helping them out with technical things and stating what I saw + heard from their experiences.

As I mentioned already I think this type of protest is highly ineffective in country where you can effectively shut down a city with coercive fear mongering.

But hey, people are willing to let it become like this so it will only continue. I'll sit back and watch the State™ wash itself in its own flames :D
