I am just saying what would be effective and what would make people hostile to their cause. If they set up a line of people in front of one of the weapons manufacturing locations, I think that would be an example of an effective protest.

Protesters accuse Raytheon of abuses, block plant entrances

It’s amazing how protesters already tried that and nothing happened.

18 people facing charges for allegedly defacing Raytheon sign during protest in Tewksbury

Somehow, the “effective” protests you recommend don’t seem to be doing anything. Do you have any other bright ideas? Maybe something that the average person will actually learn about?

How was that not effective, they got a news story and more news stories when it comes to their court trials?

Is getting a news story all that matters for an “effective” protest? If so, you must think blocking traffic is an incredibly effective protest strategy.
