lol call it what you want. protest takes form in many ways whether it's a march in the street, a prayer in a park, or simply sitting at a diner counter.

and i agree that there is a big difference between anti abortion protesters and and pro choice people. one of them has a history of murdering doctors. murders generally attract the attention of law enforcement.

This conversation is not around murder, or data on murder, or pre-crime. It’s a very poor point. I struggle with how to incorporate partisanship into the dialogue. On one hand, it’s potentially useful for achieving reform. On the other, I expect that you’d be content to establish unfair policies that resulted in actual harm based on mere disagreement. The sense of justice is perverted. But sure, come on in and oppose surveillance and promote a broad definition of protest.
