I'm wondering if these anti disruptive protesters remember the civil rights riots, and how it pressured congress to pass the civil rights acts. Or how MLK rightfully concluded that the average white American just wants 'order' (I.e. I just wanna grill), not to think critically about the millions around them that struggle.

If a few people end up dying because they can't get through a crowd, it's worth it because millions upon millions of people will have better lives. It's the trolley problem. If you don't like it then stand up for something and help those who need it before it gets so bad that riots and road blocks become a necessity.

They remember the revised history of the civil rights movement, where everyone just calmly stood out in a field and quietly held up signs asking for their rights and enough people finally were like "you know, those people DO deserve those rights for being so respectful of me having to get to my job!" and then the Civil Rights Act was passed.
