It is one thing to protest something.
But to set up extended stay living in a protest zone is another.
Do your daily protesting and go home.

These protest camps are like homeless hoovervilles in N.Y.C. that were set up during the depression. Those hoovervilles were not allowed in certain areas of N.Y.C.

This is what possibly could happen when a protest reaches this stage they are in now.

I remember reading this about protest encampments a long time ago.


1932 bonus march

In the end, the presence of federal troops effectively ended the bonus march. The troops cleaned up the situation near the Capitol, and then proceeded with equal efficiency to clear out all of the marchers from the District of Columbia.

The burning shacks of the veterans’ shantytowns made vivid news photos. A national uproar ensued. In far off Albany, New York, Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt grasped the political implications instantly. “Well,” he told a friend on hearing the news, “this elects me.” Herbert Hoover said at the start of an uphill reelection campaign: “We are opposed by six million unemployed, 10,000 bonus marchers, and 10 cent corn. Is it any wonder that the prospects are dark?”

If these protests and encamptments get to a point where control goes to a federal level the president will need to make a decision on which way to go.
Best be carefull what you encourage at times.
