You really think this makes the situation sound better for the protesters? "They were parked illegally"? So get the city to write them a fucking parking ticket. I'm sure Oakland could use the revenue.
If getting your municipal government to act on your behalf was so simple, do you really think they would be resorting to smashing windows? You're so blind, dude.
Your suggestion to the window smashers was to "get the city to write them a fucking parking ticket". I asked you why you think they would be engaging in the tactics that they are engaging in if that were any sort of viable channel through which to have their grievances addressed. As far as I can tell, you've done nothing to address my question, and your suggestion to the protesters remains invalid and meaningless. I think you should retract your condemnation of them, since so far you've been unable to propose a realistic alternative.
