Regarding G20...

Throwing rocks at people, damaging personal property and businesses, and destroying city vehicles
isn't protesting. Just like it isn't "civil disobedience" to sit in the middle of intersections during rush-hour traffic (like I've seen in Iowa City) because you've got something to say.
You want to risk your own safety/freedom for your cause, fine. The rest of the world shouldn't have to stop their lives because you have something to say.
As desperate as these people are to get on TV and have kids reading about them in textbooks, it just ain't gonna happen.
