You can agree or disagree, but calling them cowards for putting themselves in harms way to protest for a cause they believe in (and for which all of us stand to benefit), is nothing like cowardice.

I agree with all that really.

It's hard to see as you say how effective protests on causes can be without some disruption

Even moreso when authority and governments take no notice of more peaceful demonstration.
So often the only way to grab any real media attention is to disrupt .
