Why is there so much protesting at night?

[joeglow3]

I would think protesting during the day would give the protesters greater exposure. The more exposure we get, the more pressure there will be to not fix the trial.

1. people work?

2. I would assume more people work during the day.

3. Even black people have jobs.

9. But I doubt most are working 16 hour days

And then not sleeping at night. Protest from 6-11. That will get you more coverage than protesting from 10-4 in the morning.

11. I would stay up for it.

I'd be there as long as it took to get justice. You cannot schedule a protest of this nature or a revolution.

16. I agree, They should go inside and shut up.

If they want to voice their concerns they can do it on Sunday in church otherwise they can use their designated "community leader" to voice their displeasures to the media.

Havent you heard?

Apparently the 1st amendment doesnt apply in some communities

5. There are protests during the day.

But they have largely been uneventful.

7. Anyone handing out money? People still have to eat and work.

Take care of their kids etc..

8. Police do not wear riot gear in the day time ..

From the tv coverage it seems as if the police are provoking upsets at night. And, yes, there are a couple dozen bad actors! But are those few worth the response? I donno. I am skeptical.

10. There are protests going all day as well

It is about showing commitment, it proves the protesters won't rest until they see justice.

13. This reminds me of Mardi Gras...

The last week of it on Bourbon Street...crowd has to keep moving...Cops on horseback and/or in a group of 3.

14. I think it's a way to give a big "F*ck You"

never seen a curfew imposed during the day

[JI7]

15. same reason large protests tend to be organized on weekends

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. probably because of shift work/childcare needs. these are not college kids protesting about syrofoam

use in the college cafeteria.
