Peaceful protests

[mank!]

Does anyone have experience with organising protests, i.e. the legal ins and outs etc?

Read a fair bit but would be handy to have somebody to contact directly with questions.

cheers

 

[Lazarus]

what are you protesting mank?

Equal rights for gay whales?

Only joking but interested (kind of)

 

[mank!]

I'm not gay and I'm not fat, duhhh.

Protesting against the board of directors at STFC because they're a bunch of crooks.

 

[Tom]

Make a big sign and hang it on the railings during a match?

 

[psyco]

ive never really understood the whole 'peaceful protest' thing it seems kinda contradicting

 

[Skyler]

psyco prefers to burn flags.

 

[Huntingtons]

think psyco is referring to raping and pillaging villages, not burning flags - thats as peaceful as be sitting around in a circle and smoke grass while singing cumbaja my lord or what-ever hippiescum sings these days

 

[mank!]

You really are all a bunch of utter *****.

I'd much rather go on a murderous rampage myself but strangely enough I'd probably get locked up for it.

Tell the police and dont block any roads and you can do it wherever.

mank, are you wanting to do this by the book, or are you looking to do it without informing the authorities and not get nicked? PM me and stuff if you don't want to discuss it here.

Where? No room at the inn these days remember.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'm always as suprised when people ask for help in here and not expect to get an eplethera of silly comments

We're going to do things by the book to begin with and see how it progresses, if they refuse to budge than we'll take things up another notch. It's probably going to be a ridiculously long slog.

Need to have a chat with a few people but will PM you with some questions in due course if that's okay?

 

[TdC]

free mank!

Sure. I can answer you some basics here. By the book, you need to register with the police for a march, but not for a protest. If you are marching, and don't want to inform the police, you need to have no identifiable leader/organiser, which is the dodge used by Critical Mass protests which I'm vaguely involved with.
