Wow that Rolling Stone piece really goes into a lot more depth than expected, thanks for sharing Matt.
The paragraphs about Robb Willer through Laura Thomas-Walters' analysis quite neatly condense my feelings on the disruptive protest discussions - it has to target "elites" not the public. That's why I took part it road blocks on Westminster bridge, but was strongly against the DLR-blocking action and I am not keen on sports blocking protests. Block the President of a sporting competition getting to a match sure, over disrupt the competition itself.
How to do this and still get enough headlines to attract more activists remains the open question... The main media only really wants to talk about big protests that are inherently or they can spin in a way to put many of their readers off, due to who owns them
Re: JFK, have you read American Tabloid by James Elroy?
He knows what really happened ;)
