A Protester’s Guide to NYC

Headed to New York City to protest the Republican convention? I’ll likely not make it, but don’t let that stop you. This lengthy post offers you much of what you need to know. A shot sample (on bathrooms):

This brings up another interesting corollary for the more violently inclined. The caf� whose window you smash today may be your restroom tomorrow. Or, more accurately, it won’t be your bathroom, because you will have forced it to close. And even the most infamous rebel loses some of his or her romanticism with big pee-pee stains on the front of his or her black bloc outfit. In short, don’t do it.

Indeed. I hope these protests make a loud statement . . . without any violence. We don’t need to provide the media with another reason to not cover the real issues at stake this campaign.
