Did you actually read anything that went before? I can understand if you didn't, given your eyesight, but they specifically said they had no goals. These would come clear via some magical process of spontaneous discovery. I spoke with one of the organizers five days ago and she made it clear that it was barely organized. The analysis goes no deeper than "bad shit is happening." And it's not one event - this is a chronic situation of the American "left" today.
