This is such a hard topic to write about, and somehow I feel my post doesn't do justice to it. Clearly, a bit of inconveniencing is part of a protest, or it wouldn't be one. But I keep hearing stories from all over the western (liberal democratic) world, where minor inconveniences are treated as if they were violent riots. And THAT is most worrying. Now I feel like I should have addressed that more in my post.
