Sooo, basically you think people should protest by quietly holding signs in the corner, because you don't want to be disturbed or shocked? That is the POINT of protesting!!!!
The civil rights movement was quiet? hahahaha, um, yeah, getting food dumped on your head in a restaurant, being hosed down and attacked by dogs in the streets, and being lynched, wow, that was a really boring movement wasn't it? And yet even after all that effort black people still have to deal with alot of unfair shit. So maybe that gives you an idea of why protesters really need to be grab the attention of the public for sustained periods of time. The point is, you get annoyed, disturbed, whatever, and hopefully if the cause is a good one(which it is in this case, I really want to see someone reply and say peace is not a good cause, that will really be amusing), that feeling of annoyance actually comes from an uncertainty about the situation, and over time the movement gains more and more supporters until the ultimate goal is achieved. Get it?
I leave you with a quote you may have heard recently,
"Fighting for peace is like f*cking for virginity."
