1. Coming from an advertising point of view, the T-shirts are a good idea.
Shows their message without explanation and makes them look less fringe.

9. They should have all rolled up in wheelchairs
IMO pictures of the cops either pulling them out of their wheelchairs or else wheeling the chairs into the paddy wagon would be priceless.
