It is a peaceful protest. Disruption is not violence.
If you believe that the protest is counter-productive then obviously you have a right to campaign against it, and another reason to dislike the organisers, but I stand by my point. I share your reservations but I struggle to see how peaceful protest can attract so much ire when the cause is such a good one.
I dislike the gneral tone of this thread which seems to me to be suggesting that this guy is wrong to eercse his right to peacefully protest and encourage others to do the same. He might be an arsehole. He should probably get full consent from the families or wait two weeks and then protest the site not naming the victim. But he still has a right to peacefully protest which is absolute - certainly greater than other people's rights to tell him where and when and how to peacefully protest.

'Disruption is not violence'
Disruption is simply disruption. Nobody besides yourself, mentioned violence.

None of us have prevented him from exercising that right, and those of us who have posted in this thread are exercising our own right to express distaste over his methods.
Disagreeing with somebody isn't the same thing as preventing them from having their say or holding their protests.

No one is denying a right to protest. Simply commenting on a wish to avoid ghoulish behaviour, which seems patently obvious. Seems like you have an axe to grind/are wilfully misreading things

The point amongst others here, is that this is not a peaceful protest. It's main aim is to cause as much disruption to other road users to get their point across. This of course only adds further fuel to the general feeling of resentment towards cyclists.....
