I actually saw how Abbey Hoffman et al "trained the troops", quite by accident, in Central Park, right before the '68 Dem Convention.
Whomever organized the "protests" of this summer, are not any good at this stuff at all. Perhaps it helps, when the protesters actually BELIEVE in what they are going to do/doing and that PAID PROTESTERS aren't being paid enough. *snicker*
