17. the target is not the psychos

everybody knows the psychos could care less and are oblivious.

The protests are for other targets and reasons. Among them:

a) show other citizens in Minnesota and the nation that there are people of conscience who are saying this is not OK; that ICE egregiously crossed the boundary.

b) show other countries that Americans vehemently object to trump policies. For this, I, a citizen of NJ, am very grateful.

c) to express their Constitutional right to speech.

d) to express feelings of justifiable outrage.

e) gain the support of other citizens and get more people to join

These are just a few.

Your comment trivializes what these citizens have done.

Furthermore, your comment suggests that you think people should do nothing because protests don't affect psychos. What do you recommend people do?

If there are no protests, then what a bonanza for trump and ICE. Do you think that's right?
