I'm of two minds about the protests - I support them, but I just KNOW there will be a backlash and am not sure just whether any of it will help or hurt. Last night's protest in WeHo? I was stuck in traffic for 2 hours (sorry parlance). I didn't even try to make it to today's Westwood protest, knowing how shitty traffic was. But the Friday and Saturday protests I am definitely going to -- it's no big secret the South Bay is incredibly conservative. The more visibility we have in the area trying to change minds, the better.
