I thought I had said all I wanted to say about this in comments on previous articles, but now I must say that ad hominem attacks seldom advance an argument. Technically mst of it is not ad hominem, because fell commentators are using their real names. A few more points: Police, and private security guards, should always be trained in First Amendment issues, and activists should always be trained in deescalation tactics. This is especially important when noise is made. A good working relationship with the police need not always involve sacrifice of the element of tactical surprise. “Diversity of tactics” is code for putting a brick through a window, in the opinion of veteran St Louis civil rights activist Percy Green, speaking at the half year anniversay of Occupy, at Occupy the Midwest. Isn’t it better to have maturity of tactics? Direct democracy is not necessarily incompatible with representative democracy.
