What's with the protests?

 Have you been watching the various protests that we've seen over the years?

It's a little crazy.  It seems like there are ready made groups of people ready to take to the streets over various issues.  How can so many be so willing to do this type activity is beyond me, but the bigger question is how do they fit it into their lives?

If you're working, attending school, or taking care of children in a stay home capacity its just doesn't seem possible.  If you're unemployed and looking for work the same applies.  If you're retired then several factors - age, maturity, fitness - would seem to keep you from participating (but lets be real...these are young and middle aged people).

So I'm left to believe that either these people are PROFESSIONAL protesters or they're unemployed, have time on their hands and get off on this stuff.

Either way it needs to be investigated, permitting needs to be enforced and the drain on resources to provide security for these events needs to be recouped.

I don't know about you but these protests don't even get attention unless something obscene happens.  Just too many of them and they hardly move the needle when it comes to my views of the various subjects they're protesting about.

Protests have been overused.  They're at BEST noise and at worst an ANNOYANCE.  You better believe they're just annoying to me.  These people need to get a life.
