I thought the whole idea of protesting was to gain media attention? Is that not the end goal of protests? To be heard by the outside with a clear and logical course. The concept of blockading reporters seems to leave interpretation that it was nothing more than a ‘ultra-kumbyah’ gathering in Mizzou, with the exception of firing a teacher on sketchy grounds and the start of an admittedly ridiculous claim of “poop swastikas.”
