That is so not protesting. Absolutely nobody except their buddies and us here on WS are even aware of them. Protesting involves bringing attention to your cause from the public at large. Like it or not, the highway deal brought attention to their cause even if they didn't block the highway. This is a lot of nothing.

I'd suggest giving them "How to Win Friends and Influence People" but people unfamiliar with the expression "800 lb. gorilla" have certainly never heard of Dale Carnegie. It's probably a generational, not black v. white, thing.

Fans aren't putting up with it. Good for them. They paid hard-earned money, families are there, and people shouldn't be disturbing the peace, etc.

So Diamond says they went to the stadium to piss people off and make them uncomfortable? :waitasec:

She obviously didn;t get the right memo

Sounds like they have one more thing planned tonight

Multiple protestors have said that. Surely making people uncomfortable makes them sympathetic/sarcasm

This twitter? https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=#nojusticenobaseball&s=typd

I think it's the 3rd banner. My guess is it will read 'Arrest Darren Wilson'

I'm familiar with the phrase and I'm familiar with Carnegie and I'm still of the opinion that it's stupid to use any phrase that also includes gorilla within it is pretty stupid in the context of this case, especially when it's a PR firm you're paying money to.

Great example of "misery loves company".

I wonder if the 3rd will also be displayed by "a white middle-aged woman"?

 

[Phoebeb]

While we wait...

from twitter: I've seen more creative selfies at a Cards game by puking kids than this #Ferguson stooge crew

 

[Lovejac]

So what was that on the live feed?

He just came on and said 'and that concludes our..' and then another voice interupts him and says 'and we still have the banner' and then the feed went dead again.

I wonder if they called it a night... they were outside like they were about to leave awhile ago

They realized that they were just a bunch of schmos (sp? I don't think I've ever spelled that word) that were just trying to be something they're not and ended up looking like fools. To be honest, not even sure why I'm following what they're doing. They're not a part of any of this, just random Joe's with nothing better to do.

Dang, so far, the Cards are losing. I suppose if they end up losing, these protesters will take all the credit

C'mon Cards!!

 

[Lovejac]

Well today was a whole bunch of nothing, again.

Interest seems to be waning. It worries me a little because I think people will get more desperate for attention.

C'mon Cards!!

Cards clinched a playoff spot today when Brewers lost, so its all good.

C'mon Cards!!

Because we threw some pitcher I have never heard of and I know most of the players not only on the team but in the minor league system. Game over.
