It's the theatrics that make it bad. Just issue the 1pm announcement and get on with it.

It's like shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre and having a couple of people trampled and then saying "we just did that to demonstrate that the theatre's evacuation routes are not designed properly".

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

Talk about moving the goal posts... I wrote "heroes". Then we started talking about "looking good". And now it's about "nice"?

It's not nice. But it's a good deed. Vaccine is a good analogy.
