DISRUPT

This is the "new" mic check technique which starts with one voice and the group doing the rest of it.

It is quite effective. Flummoxed.

To the credit of the crowd and the people in charge they did not call the cops.

But I doubt any minds were changed. There is a woman in light orange in the middle who seems to be amused and open to it. Some people leave.

I am of the old school that protest is important. I am not about to go to Occupy Palm Springs (yes we had that) that got moved off the grass so they went home. I will do the work around elections. But I am open to a little civil disobedience if it seems to be well organized. Most of this action is not.

They should have walked to City Hall where there is no grass and occupied it. There is a strong reason for it. The City is in thrall to developers who provide considerable help to their interests. Campaigns and otherwise.
