I suspect the organization. That and moderates don't tend to believe that demonstrations DO anything. I base this off my experience as a moderate watching my more liberal and conservative friends protest the war in Iraq and/or set up a table across from the protest saying "support our troops" Neither side made a damn bit of difference about the other sides feelings, or the moderates in the middle.
Standing up and saying "stop" is just getting attention and will not likely "stop" anyone
