Well it's only crap now that the man has thrown an orange net around it , flown a helicopter over it, and got the press to record the whole thing.

I think the solution shouldn't be making it secretive but rather working with the city to legitimize it.

These situations have happened in other cities. I was watching a documenatry on OLN about the CM in Austin and how the cops were harassing them forever. They wound up videotaping every CM to show how the cops were acting.

Long story short they wound up getting some incriminating footage of the cops and showed it to local government officials and wound up getting a lot of breathing room for the ride.

I think there should be some serious organization of Critcial Mass. Volunteer marshalls would help a lot and I just think that if the group would learn to police itself we wouldn't have to have the government doing it for us.

Set a ton of co-operation and positivity rather than recklessness and disruption.

It would be nice to be able to ride and not see dumb asses drinking beers, throwing cans at people, or doing bunny hops off the hoods of cars, etc.
