The only problem is cops. Lots and lots of cops will probably be there. I hear in SF crit masses, the cops threaten to arrest the first 25 people to cross their line when the CM tries to take Golden Gate Bridge. That's only one issue. What about police violence and illegal seizure of bicycles?
So I guess I'm just asking for advice and insight on how to plan a successful disruption mass(es) for the dreaded Olympics.
How about self-immolation? I recommend a couple practice sessions first.
