I was using the word loosely. What I am trying to say is that it is not a grassroots movement to take this to city hall and take over a few blocks. The "protester" are working with people in high places.

Just like when Antifa "shut down" college campus speakers. Antifa would show up and riot, then the college administration would call the cops off, then they would shut down the speakers on safety grounds. It was pretty transparent that the college administrators wanted to shut down the event but had no just cause so they called out Antifa to manufacture an excuse for them.

This is basically a proxy war of sorts being waged by powerful people in government.
