It’s a Follow-Up Post
June 27, 2010 · Posted in Politics
I’m eating my words all right. What happened over the weekend still doesn’t seem in step with reality, but for a different reason now. Why? Why why why? The videos show people running up to windows, taking three swings with a baseball bat and then retreating into a crowd. Another clip shows someone trying to launch a newspaper box through a window. Really?
This isn’t practical, it doesn’t get out the right message. The message we hear isn’t “save the whales” or “feed the starving” or anything useful. Those messages just become footnotes, and the real protesters have a lot to be upset about. This weekend, the medium was the message, and was ugly.
