Can a city-allowed event REALLY reach 'critical mass'?
Let me know when y' all flash mob Pacific with a Reclaim the Streets block party.
"Reclaim the Streets often stage non-violent direct action street reclaiming events such as the 'invasion' of a major road, highway or freeway to stage a party. While this may obstruct the regular users of these spaces such as car drivers and public bus riders, the philosophy of RTS is that it is vehicle traffic, not pedestrians, who are causing the obstruction, and that by occupying the road they are in fact opening up public space. The events are usually spectacular and colourful, with sand pits for children to play in, free food and music, however they have been known to degenerate into riots and violence.[1]"
Note that the [1] footnote for "degenerate into riots and violence" links to nothing...
