Makes me wonder: in their milieu, does a large group of people accomplish anything by yelling and carrying signs, or do they just serve as bumper fodder? Seems like corporations, as such, would simply use any large protesting group as literal target practice. The people would have to get together a fund, hire mercenary assassins, and off the offending CEO.
Before society decided that a police force was a good thing (Britain’s Peelers), a group of people would pool their money to catch the assholes stealing things. Based on what seems to generally happen in B&B, a similar mechanism may apply.
mob bosses really only play a sort of protection racket in this sort of crime world, in which i think you pay out, and get very little in return. so this would be a sort of last resort, bordering on a riot. i added the signs cause i figure some people would, to clarify a message and stir up more people to a sort of march towards a justified looting situation.
People were ever so grateful for police that we still take our lives into our hands by wearing orange on St. Patrick’s Day.
I do it, and I like Robert Peele’s Bobbies (unarmed in an age when any bloke could walk into a normal shop and come out with a fully loaded fowling piece and a dram or three of opium, along with some arsenic for the rats), but …

Well you do have to flatten the dough before it can rise
Too bad “Rise 4 Bread” got run over. It’s not as if he was loafing around. If you got to know him, he was the best thing since sliced bread.
Next time there’s a convenient demonstration, I’m going to bring a sign with “Meh” on one side and “Whatever” on the other.
oof. i pulled my pun muscle reading those. hahah
Soooo if someone rams him instead, is he like, “well ok, fair enough.” Or instead becomes, “Only I have the privilege to do that, learn your place!”
Most people seem to have the latter attitude. Thankfully most people don’t tend to extend it to plowing through crowds
people who run people over in the streets for kicks tend to feel a hypocritical privilege to do so, yes.
