Good protestors are like good weeds. Weeds are just plants that grow where someone doesn't want them to grow. Good weeds are hard to get rid of: deep roots with multiple stems, networked, distributed, able to reproduce when attacked, growing in the midst of cultivated plants, having pretty flowers that discourage less determined gardeners and win them time to seed, and above all relentless. They also break up the soil and bring nutrients up, benefiting others.
