“Just curious if ubiq & avi k think that this is also “to provide an outlet and let off some steam”, “time to play in the street and inconvenience others”, etc?”
I dont follow. Are they inconvenencing others? What is the connection?
The real crux of the issue is there is not much that can eb doen about it, which is why People are calling for murder/death penalty and comparing to terrorsim, there is no rational way to deal with these people (of course calling for merder is absurd, which is my point) this isnt a rational protest over a real issue. This is pure mayhem for the sake of mayhem. These people have no interest in reason, they have no job that they are missing and no Torah they are missing either. They can spend their days in and out inconvenencing others who do have to go to work learn etc. And not much that can be done.
There is no comparison to disabled people protesting, who a have a specific goal made their point and moved on. The fact that you provide a report of one incident, with not many people being inconvenienced and ended quickly, highlights how your comparison (much like the comparison to terrosim) is absurd
