...and the great part is, even if you gave your right leg, you'd still be able to dance like that...lol


Exactly

I love how it looks like the driver is just waiting for the guy to get out of his way. I kept expecting to see the moron's head pop up over the hood like "Well? Aren't you going to even ask if I'm ok or call 911 or anything?"
Too bad this video is w/o sound but I'm sure the driver was sitting there laughing his ass off too.

Why thank you, kind stranger!

@laura and @Sagemind, I'm not sure you understand what the word "protest" means.
"to give manifest expression to objection or disapproval; remonstrate."
If you do it silently and without causing a fuss, you're doing it wrong.


What you are describing is called civil disobedience. That can be good too, but it has a time and place. Most importantly, everyone involved should know that arrest is among the risks they are taking on, and be prepared for that eventuality. I've argued other places that this action would have been fine if the headline read "two dozen willing to be arrested to voice discontent over Citi's handling of student loans." Instead the headline read "mean old cops wouldn't let us shut down a business." Do you see how one can garner support and the other makes you look either clueless or manipulative.

Absolutely, but sometimes there is more than one way to go about it - The method they tried just got shut down and had no effectual change. Sometimes the chanting works against you.

Sometimes planning and stealth works better than blunt force or being pushy. In this case a slow but steady stream of people withdrawing their money and closing accounts would start getting the bank's attention - and they would change to compensate.
