I hate passive protesting. Sit-ins, things like that.

I walk to work every day (after taking the bus), and the walk is about 30 minutes.

On the way of this walk is the Maximum Security Pre-Trial Prison in my city (Held Robert Pickton for his trial) that is currently housing Marc Emery (Sold pot seeds from Canada to the USA via internet. Selling seeds isn't illegal in Canada, yet it is in the US, so the US wants him extradited and put on trial and be put in a US prison despite the fact he was in Canada, and it's not a crime from where he was.)

Anyways, clearly - as you can see - I find the fact he's on trial, and will be sent the US ridiculous in itself.

However outside of the prison there are about 4 tents tied to streetlights, with marijuana logos all over and "Free Marc Emery" posters, Canadian flags with the maple leaf replaced with a pot leaf.

What irks me about this, is What the fuck are you accomplishing by sleeping in a tent outside of a prison getting suburbanite factory workers to honk their horns for a guy who affectionately loves pot. Pack up your tents. Take down your signs. Get educated on the situation, and don't make the situation look much worse than it already is. You're just playing the stoner-hippy stereotype, which clearly won't help anyones image.

That really grinds my gears.
