Obviously coming from...
a man that's never actually talked to anyone involved in a protest. Sure there's a few wackos but they constitute only a tiny percentage, probably even less than you'd find at a similar right wing event. The thing that's always struck me is just how "normal" most people are that are at such events. They're your neighbors Techie, not some radical bunch pulled from the homeless shelters.
Before you start making such pronouncements, perhaps you should actually attend a function some time. Until then, you have absolutely zero credibility in rating the participants.
