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.

(6,719 posts)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.
