[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people along certain parts of Rockville Pike. Good signs, lots of honking. No issues I saw or heard of.

Why [i]are[/i] the protestors overwhelmingly older (most seemed to be 50+) and white? I did not see many younger protestors (like college aged) along Rockville Pike. We know that age is most prone to protesting so where were they? I hope the college kids who are so hell-bent on protesting Israel and causing mayhem on college campuses would also attend these protests - to protest a cause that has more direct impact on their lives. I just didn't see them along Rockville Pike or other pictures I'm seeing from other protests.

Where were Hispanic people and black people? We know they do protests - why weren't they at this one in large numbers? Hispanics, I understand but why wasn't there a larger amount of black people protesting? Autocracy effects them just as much.

There were some younger people at the protest on Rockville Pike. Morning protests aren't going to bring out a ton of younger people.

From what I have seen, black and Hispanic people are standing back and white people are taking the lead, because white people are less likely to be brutalized by the police. [/quote]
