Once again, the protesters didn't think through the consequences of their actions.

There is another angle. It was the NY politcians who stirred up this mess. When things go bad in PR, they leave for NYC and they Vote.

I'd say the protestors DID think about what they were doing !
From what I've been able to learn, they were a mix of greedy realtors,vote-hungry politicians, Fidelistas , and other assorted Marxists.
The Marxist contingent wanted the removal of Roosevelt Roads,from which US Naval patrols had run fairly effective interceptions of "cocaine ships", and from which Tio Fidel and his Merrymen could be kept under surveillance.
Now that the Navy has been removed, and money is getting tighter, the Marxists have fertile soil in which to sow their poison - on what is no-passports-required American territory.
For the people - a loss. For the Marxists, a win-win situation !
