The tactics of groups like this are counter productive to people trying to bring about real change. They bring the wrong kind of attention to the what is going on and change the conversation from the issues to their pathetic cries for attention. Instead of reflecting the atrocities and wrongs going on in society with acts that are unethical, cause more pollution, create more problems, create more enemies, and scare people they should try to be the change they are talking about. I think a lot of people are drawn to these tactics because it makes them feel powerful and important. They need to be more creative in trying to convince the people who are making the real decisions in how we do things to change there opinions. We need to set an example of how to act in society, not hold a mirror up to the negative. Peace is the path and the destination to real change, or else you become what you are trying to change.
